Wanted to share a few pics of my finished (for now) truck setup. Researched all I could and landed on this setup below for the best weight/aero/aesthetics combo. It won’t be everyone’s thing no doubt but the drive/range compromise is minimal and I like the military style wheels.

Level: Readylift 2”

Wheels: Brink Barracks flow forged 20x9 +18 offset 33.3lbs

Tires: Nitto Recon Grappler 275/65/R20 116T 47.53lbs and 34” tall

Tonneau: Truxedo X15 soft (personal preference)

Range was 2.2 per mile before and so far 2.1 after - ride quality is stellar and noise is louder by comparison but minimal overall.

Hope this helps somebody looking to beef up the look with minimal sacrifice 👊

First body color grill I've seen and I love it. Wonder why it wasn't like that from the factory? How was your paint match? It looks identical in some pictures and slightly differently others. Also how do you like those wheels? They seem like an ideal alternative to the ugly factory lariat wheels since they are a full face and somewhat lighter

Tell me about painting your grill... I had this same exact idea, but haven't done it yet. How , what, who? star white paint? Cost? Did you remove it, or have it painted in place? I don't live near where it snows, so don't worry, we won't overlap. :)

In my experience less car washes is better, at least in the south with no salt. Hard to do with colors but white hides it pretty well.
I have a car wash subscription and wash it when it's a little dusty. I'm not to worried about washing to many times especially with the Star white that's garaged every night. I had a black F150 that was dirty just after washing it so Star white is awesome.
