How do get this look?

[Cotty16]

Hi guys, first off, I'm not very mechanical. Lol
I'm totally confused as to what I need to do to achieve a certain look on my truck.
I have an appointment to get it leveled late next week.
I'm hoping to avoid an all around lift, but not sure if I need one to get what I want.
So, how do I get from this:


To this:


I'm already saving my pennies for the fender flares. I just need to knowing leveling the truck will get me to where I want or do I need spacers or something? Any expertise is greatly appreciated.

That looks like 4" lift, chally hood, fender glared, and a set of rockstars.
Welcome to the site BTW. And your truck would look great with just a level and a little bit more aggressive wheel and tire package.

Just get 35 inch tires and you'd be some where closer id think. Im hoping to get to that point some day to. No expertise here but I'm pretty sure that red truck isn't just levelled, probably has a suspension lift.

Welcome to rf. you could probably get close to that look with a 2.5" level kit and a 1.25" body lift. Check put 0212353's truck that is what he is running with roughly 34" tires

Thanks for the quick responses guys. If I just get the leveling done, will it look ok for now to ride my stock tires? They still have plenty of life left and don't want that cost until I need it.

Yes it will look fine to level with stock tires. That is what I am running right now. In fact I think it looks much better

Thanks! It sure helps to see the before and after pics. Definitely makes a difference.
Do you notice anything different in the ride quality?

Looks like a 4" lift and 35's to me.

For rims too? But you can achieve that look by either putting on a lift kit(3 inch) or a level kit(2in up front).

Look at JJ or 0212357390 whatever his name is truck. He put a body lift on his and got some meaty tires.

Heres my friend's truck. 4 inch lift ad 35's

Not really. You are making the whole assembly longer so the spring rate doesn't change much

here's a few pics to give you a few ideas

stock tires, 2" HBS level

with Laramie flares:

added 34" Nitto Trail Grapplers

and body lifted (1.25")

Welcome to RF! Your truck looks pretty familiar.. Check out my build to see your identical truck leveled, etc...

http://www.ramforum.com/f17/ksbowhunter-build-17576/

There are tons of flares on the market so look around. Some go all the way to the front bumper, others stop short. JJ showed me a couple a week or so ago. His are OEM, I'm pretty sure the ones on that red truck were bushwackers (or some very similar brand).

Good luck!

You'll also run into the same issue I am/did if you are wanting color matched bumpers.. Cheapest route is to just order new ones online, or embrace the chrome.

 

[Cotty16]

Cool! You guys are a big help.
