If you're lowered on ibeams all the better. I want to see what they look like. Sort of for a size reference, so I can use photoshop to try out wheel sizes. Thanks.

I was just looking at that same truck earlier this morning! I love the way it sits. That is a dream beam and rear axle flip drop on that truck right?

Thanks...I appreciate man. Its no wonder that truck looks so low, those tires are only like 25.75" tall. It looks good though, I'm curious what his rear wheel / tire set up is.
