To each their own man. Not my style either, but it's not my money.

Agreed, I just never have been a fan. But like you said TETO

I will say, I've seen super singles at all four corners of a SRW truck, and I like it better on the dually. I really don't like it on the SRW trucks. I think that dually would look better if it sat lower and could put some of that rubber up into the fender better too.

Way heavier than 37"" LT tires.

Well thanks for the info. I've never been a fan of semi wheels either. However those x1s look sweet although I bet there ice traction is virtually non-existant. I want to do something cool with the '12 but I hate lifted trucks if you can't work it its no longer a truck.

2012 F350? Dually? If you don't like the lifted look, go lower. Have you seen the nice 2011 white dually that was on last months diesel power mag cover? He's on most of the powerstroke forums, SWEET truck. It's riding on 26" american force wheels. His name is Josh and he goes by InMotionJosh on the forums. He posts on powerstrokearmy.com a lot.

Ya that truck was done in good taste for sure. But no I'm a diehard dodge guy and I'm from Alberta so I like the look of a lift just hate how they ride and how you can't hook on to trailer. I'm wondering if a small (4") high quality lift like a Carli would allow the use of bigger tires and still not ruin what I want my truck for. Lol I'm torn this is the first truck I've got that ill be able to do up and I want to do it right!

He already sold it and bought a SRW truck he's building up too. Guy basically just buys them, builds them, sells them, starts over. Must be nice eh? He seems like a pretty laid back cool guy on the boards.

Here's his new one. I'm pretty sure this is the second aftermarket grill, and possibly even the second set of wheels. He likes trying things to see how they'll look....

I really like the Rigid LED light bar in the middle, I want one of them so bad. I can't swing the $$$ for one though, just out of this world expensive.
