First off this is an awesome setup! That color is perfect.

Minor comment though, from the pictures those tires do not appear balanced properly.
The alignment of red/yellow dots relative to valve stem on an alloy wheel are a tell tale sign if the wheel was optimally balanced....

On a truck maybe not as big of an issue, I'm speaking from more experience on the moto end where an improperly balanced wheel is likely way more noticible.

Again Im not an expert just pointing it out, Im sure its fine.

Damn I wish I could slide an extra $2k for new wheels and tires into my build. Using side change to do it might make the wife a bit pissed haha

The truck will probably never squat enough for the tire to hit.

When the tires stick out further, they kick out more road debris. Do those tires stick out enough to throw road debris on the lower quarter panels?

Luv the wheels and tires.

I copied the all season truck tire comparison from Consumer Reports 2021 Buyers Guide, cool tires may not be so wonderful if they fail you when you need to have control on slippery highway, not a big deal in Florida but I've logged over a million miles driving professionally and personaly, I tend to buy the best I can afford because it's not just my life but yours too.

What did you do to the headlight and Taillight? Only tint film or they are custom ?
