looks better imo, paint handles mirrors, loose the ugly tailights for something red maybe some led's. and take the Zsticker off it and will be looking great. oh also trade me ur billet gmc for my painted blue one, that will make it stick out more..

get rid of that hood and put the stock one on and lose the euro tails. With those changes I think it will look great.

Looks better, like said maybe the tires a little bit more meaty.

The hood looks good, plus its a functional hood.

I think the biggest change would be painted handles. Go w/. some red tails, any red tails. Lose the Z71 sticker for sure & badge behind rear doors.

Your truck is clean & I love the hood. Please take no offense. But like John said, IDK what it is, but somethin doesn't sit right. W/. your old wheel/ tire combo, those nerf bars worked for ya. Now, it looks like your new rims add cues from a 2wd, & mix elements from a 4wd. Ditch the nerfs unless u need em or love em. And give her a lil drop. I didn't mean to, just kinda agree somewhat w/.others.

Yeah I agree it needs more tire, I was thinking of getting some 305x50x20 tires on the wheels.
I liked the look of the 305x65x17 off road tires but they ride kinda rough and are a little noisey and the truck gets a little crazy past 130 mph but with the 20's it is smooth and stable past 130 mph and handles great,

I don't remember sayin more tire. But if stayin w/. that look, & they gots your size, BFG KO.

BTW, which Radix u got? 112 or 122? Sounds like quite a beast w/. all your mods.
