im about to pull the trigger

well i have had about 15 thousand threads started on here about me getting my lift... well i got a total price on everything and just want some opinions.... here is what a got ...what do you think about the black chrome....i think itll go good considering the only chrome i have is the step boards

17x9 pro comp wheels ...... http://www.4wheelparts.com/PDT246538.aspx

35x12.50x17 pro comp xtreme all terrain ... http://www.4wheelparts.com/PDT63401.aspx

6" fabtech lift ... http://www.4wheelparts.com/PDT52634.aspx


give me all you got, but just a little food for thought, i dont take my truck off road and dont plan on it so i was more aiming torwards tires that look aggressive yet have a good life expectancy....these have a 40001 miles warranty

Cringe.. Procomp not for me.. Unimpressed with their lifts.. Sigh.. However the Tele and Fold mirrors I could afford.. I just didnt need them, rather spend the mulah towards my new front end and winch :-P

By the time I'm done I'll spend more on mods then what I paid for the truck..

I like the tire/wheel combo. but be aware you're looking at a LOAD RANGE D tire.
