Thanks. I had to go white because anything dark in Atlanta looks like hell for 3 months out of the year because of the pollen.

haha yea I feel that. Were in TX and had a star white ordered but ended up with a SQM demo which was begging to be bought.

At least I got it ceramic coated and hopefully it’ll clean easier :p

Ceramic coating definitely helps(big fan), it takes me 15 minutes to wash it and it shines like I waxed it.

Then 20 minutes later the Annual Atlanta Tree Orgy leaves its mark again. 🤪

Have you picked out a pair of fender flares yet for the Lightning?

I am still waiting on someone to make one at a tolerable price.

Looking forward to seeing the fender flares as I am considering that as well. Please post pics when you do. And could you also post a pic directly from the side so I can see how the leveling looks? Would also like to know what you observe with range impact from those tires...

The wheels are fantastic. It looks like it says Fuel on them. Do you know which model and size and how much they weigh?

-Vorsteiner Offroad(Venomrex) VR601 Carbon Graphite.
20 x 9
12 mm offset
-2 Inch Level

They are flow forged and weight a lot less than the stock wheels at 27 lbs a wheel.

The tires on the other hand. LOL

The range definitely takes a hit but it isn't as bad as you would think. I am getting around 295 on an extended range after having this setup since January.

Added a couple of other pictures of it from the side and the wheels up close.

Much obliged! I like the look. On mine I put Fuel Vector wheels (20x9 +20) with Mickey Thompson A/T size 285/60R20. I'm really happy with it, but beginning to wonder if I should do the leveling like you. My front tires seem pretty close to the fender right now, but I haven't observed any rubbing. I don't mind the raked look with the rear end high, but I am worried that if I level it then whenever I tow a trailer or have a heavy load in the bed I'm going to get that "high nose" look which I really hate.
Have you seen what it does to the level if you have a load on the back? From what I understand, the 2" level is really the smallest that can be done, but let me know if that's wrong.
