Very Nice!! Love all that black with just a touch of chrome.

I just put a set a set of Amp Research Power Steps on my truck (https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...installed.html) and I'll tell ya', yours would look even sweeter with a set. They do tend to clean-up the lines a little bit on the taller trucks like yours.

That's a nice looking truck. High lift. The wheels and tires complete the look too. Ques: How do those Nitto's ride? and what size are they? They have a real nice aggressive look but I am wondering about the ride quality.

the tires acutally are not to bad . they are 38*15.50*18 as for road noise yes it is there but i dont think it is to bad, you can drown out the sound with the radio barely turned up. as for ride when i first got the tires they rode like crap real bouncey and almost didnt like my truck anymore, BUT then i went back to 4Wheel Parts and told them and they sent me to a place here in town to get the tires trued and balanced. NOW o man they ride like a stock truck i can blaze down the highway at 90........people move............ and it feels like the day i bought it

very much recommend the nittos to anyone looking just make sure to get them trued and balanced
