GO STOCK or NOT????
Well, over this break me and my dad were talkin about this summer the things to redo on my truck. #1 being to repaint it and get the runs and hail dings out of it. #2 repaint the frame and degrease it again. #3 To go FULL BLOWN STOCK - take out the lift, take off the oversized tires, go completely stock or to keep the 6 inch lift and the 35''s. Everything else is completely stock, buckets, tilt, tach, bumper guards, full wheel covers, cheyenne super trim, swb???? DO I DARE GO ALL STOCK????

While your truck look nice as it sits, nothing beats a stock ride IMO.

That would be a head turner either way in my opinion. Drop down to a 2" lift and small 33s. Then there is always summer 2005.

I also agree, 2" lift and some ralley wheels with 33" tires would look great on your truck. And it would still appear stock-ish too

I like the 2 lift and 33's ideal. A little bit bigger than stock has a nice look.

I like the stock look. I wouldn't really need a truck lifted.

It's your truck so the final decision is up to you. But I love the truck just the way it sits!!!!!!!!!!

I like it how it is, there are millions of stock looking 4x4 trucks, nothing to distinguish them from other trucks, my .02

Leave it and get another project instead. How come it looks like your box is tilted back?

Stock, The way God intended it to be!
Painted steel wheels with and big ol' bias-ply snow tires! That's what I'd do with one of our trucks if it was a 4X4.

Regardless of what else you do, would urge you to bring it back to stock (or lower) height.

restify!!
I'm with much of the crowd. Small lift and 33's. I also support all the stock options you can put on it. I also like the caps and the way it is, but now you've done that its time to try something else. Many of us wouldn't drive our truck forever the way it is, we all like to change now and then. It tend to catch new attention, isn't that what drives some of us?

Leave it, I like the stock caps on those wheels. Kinda different. But... U gotta get some new body mounts. Or fix ur bed floor or something. It'd be perfect!

I like the stance that has to it, I want to do something similar to my truck. But IMO, ditch the stock hubcaps when you lift...maybe some rally's, or alloys, would look better. Or just plain steel wheels.
