Not real happy with the lift on my truck so it's gonna come off and go back to my original plans........don't like the way it rides......handles a tiny bit better but not enough to change my mind...tires are more expensive and I don't like the scratches down my sides from takin it in the backwoods...dropping it back down will defer those redneck thoughts so the lift is comin off and I'm gonna go back with my original intentions...cam it out and throw a stick in here and level her out.I'm also gonna change the wheels out I've got a choice of two sets and would like opinions please...these type:(exactly the same just different lug pattern)

2nd set, tho for a street truck id say some Crager SS's or Torque Thrusts would look better.

Thanks for the input guys.......if I do the aluminum I gotta add some chrome somewhere along the lines cause there'll be too much black heh heh.If I do the black it might be slick lookin iono have to cross that bridge when i get there.....Yea Jurgen i was plannin on doing the 2 inch drop shackles to level her out also gonna get a stall converter and do the original plan i had in the first place.
 
stage 1 tfs cam,p.i. stallion 2500-2800 converter,explorer intake,headers and exhaust should put you well into the 14's.

Are those actual shots of both sets of wheels on that truck or a photoshop job? Good work if it is.. I like the second set actually was thinking about those in a 17" with 32" rubber for my truck.
