Let the transformation begin (pictures!)

So i just ordered my lift it is scheduled to be installed on wednesday november the the 4th. I bought a cognito 7-9 kit and my new wheels are diamo karat 17. In a 20x10 4.5 backspacing and -12 offset. I am going to start with these 35 inch nittos i already had and then go up to a 37" when the time comes for new tires! I wanted to powder coat the kit but i couldn't find a raw one and to sand blast it takes alot of extra time and alot of extra money. I am going to do a lamborgini style exhaust exiting a rollpan and i am going to smoke my taillights! Or and do a blue led dash panel!

Wheels and tires!










Not my truck but what i want the back of my truck to look like!




THANKS FOR LOOKING!!! i will update pictures when i get back from getting my lift installed wednesday!

Sweet looking wheel/tire combo. Aren't you afraid the exhaust is going to turn your tailgate black?

Nothing a little soap and water can't take care of haha. I am so ready to have it all done! I am going to buy a set of 37/13.50 Kumho mud KL71's next time i think but who knows i may throw another set of mud grapplers on. haha. Thanks for all the compliments. I am stoked that i am finally going to be able to own a lifted truck! I have never owned one! I hope the ride is as good as everyone says it is. Anything is going to be than it is now

Mud grapplers are insanely loud!! be prepared...lol!!

Only down fall is your seat breaking down on the edge from getting in and out. I kind of jump out though to try and keep it from getting worse then mine already is. Good luck with the lift! I'am sure it's going to look sweet!

That has crossed my mind before! I have cloth unfortunetly! Also kind of dreading working my tail off and jumping in and out of it atleast 15 times a day in my line of work. Haha... So i am sure it is going to wear the seat out all to quick. Oh and these mud grapplers are rediculous! I have run them for about 15k miles before on a different set of wheels at stock height. They are cupped a little so it is going to be even worse haha.
