285s look great on this vehicle. Ditto on the question about rub issues-have you noticed any?

I assume you are running HIDs in your projector housings? Did you hook up those 3 LED lights, or leave them disconnected? I've had mine hooked up, but I keep thinking they look too cheesy when I see them from the outside.

I was thinking the same thing ditto on this question also. I'm guessing you got your Deluxe Suspension lift installed also.

Those look great! Like the aggressive tread. How noisy are they?

First, the rub issue... I have the deluxe lift all the way up in the front so it was rubbing on the door side of the fender. I took care of that by removing my front mud guards. I'm pretty sure if I dropped the front down one notch it probably would be ok, bit that's way more work then removing mud guard.

Second, the noise. They really aren't that loud at all. A low hum but nothing if any over stock road noise. I can't complain.

The lights, I left all lights hooked up actually. I have the xenon version of the halos and I kinda like the way it all looks together. I don't have HID for the headlights yet because I wanted to make sure everything on the headlights worked before I started modifying them. Several of my friends have tried to do numerous things at once and when it was all hooked up nothing worked and they didn't know where to start troubleshooting.

OH, and thanks for compliments!

Truck looks great. I've got the same color and have wondered for a while how those headlights look installed. I'm eyeing the blacked out version just have other parts I want to pull the trigger on first. Do you like the lift so far?

looks great!

as for the rub, you can do a couple of things if you want your front mud flaps.

i have a pic of what i did, but basically i carved out some of that front mudflap, and heat gun'd part of the fender liner. it helped alot and i just barely rubbed at first. i still do just barely rub the frame at full wheel lock, but i'm ok with that.

however now as the tires have worn, there's no rub issue at all. so if anything just wait about 5-10k mi and you could probably put them back on :)

oh, and i'm only at 1.5in setting on my bilsteins, so i wouldn't expect that to help your rub problem at all.
