Welcome to FTE. In my opinion... it would look just fine! Any idea what size kit you want to run?

It will look great. Then once you save some money you can get some nice tires. I would check out fatbobsgarage.com or go on ebay and look for the hell bent steel leveling kit. I would not recomend aluminum or the poly. The hell bent steel comes in I think 2" and I know for sure it comes in 2.5 and 3" and they run like 80 bucks I think you could probably get a good deal on ebay with free shipping. Fatbobsgarage.com charges shipping well they did when I bought mine last year so I opted for ebay. I got the 3 inch but I also put a add a leaf kit in the back to make it sit level again. 2.5 would be perfect if you dont plan on putting the add a leaf in. Plus alot of people say the 3 inch is hard on the cv shaft. I havent had a problem yet though.
