4X shop truck

I see a ton of 2wd shop trucks but here in Colorado a 4wd shop truck sounds nice. I bought this truck a while back and was undecided what to do with it, my plan is to throw a fleet side bed on it and paint it back to the medium green that the cab is. So far we have pulled the engine and transmission, cleaned them up and re sealed them, then yesterday I ordered a 2.5" lift kit and bought some 33 12.5's that are mounded to some nice center line wheels that a buddy scored for me. I hope to have it together next week and from that point it will become a rolling project.
