After:


Improvements:
1. Westin Signature Series Step Rails
2. Low profile black diamond plate truck box
3. Eagle Alloys 186 Series Wheels
4. Procomp 33"/12.50/17 All-terrain tires
5. Daystar Leveling kit

Well, what do ya think (other than it's dirty)?

Very nice...the tires really help fill the wheel wells where the factory rolling stock leaves a lot of space. I would be interested in knowing whether or not the ride quality has gone down however??

As far as I can tell the quality of the ride is about the same, no bouncing or anything like that. However, they are not quiet as the Michelin's. I have some "whirring" but as loud as I listen to the radio I won't notice it that much.

The pinstriping was done by a friend at a local body shop. Used the same color as the silver in the STX.

Hey shane you definitly have the nicest 150 Ive seen anywhere. Those wheels awesome. How much did they set you back. I wish they would come standard with the truck. The leveling kit makes the truck look great. That side shot. WOW. Enjoy

Great looking rig! I have to give you a hand for steering clear of 20 inch bling rims and street tires(ala dodge)and putting on some good ol truck rims and tires.

Like the looks, the chrome rims really complement your black truck . What did you do with the original tires and rims?
