Default need opinions on idea for new look

Lately i have been getting really sick of the look of my truck. Im tired of it being so low and riding like crap. Also now that i've got the 408 i need to run DR's all the time.

My idea is this: Black Cragar soft 8's front and rear with 27" tire in the front and 30" ET streets on the rear. Raise the truck 2 inches all around. I also eventually plan on painting it satin black.


Here is a pic of the truck with the wheels on it but only 26" tires on them to help you picture it.

I like your idea. Get some chrome center caps on those wheels, especially after the truck is painted black.

Looking at your sig pic, I think it looks better with the 20s. How about raising it up a little and putting some tires with a little more sidewall on? Wouldnt look much different but it will probably ride alot better.
