Here is how it sits now, got these tires and wheels for 25 bucks per corner. I like the wheels the tires are 265/75/16 so too small. I will use the wheels with the new tires.

The drop shackle lift was on it when I got as was the flatbed. Its not exactly what I want but I got the truck super cheap, put a Toyota front axle back underneath it and painted it. Its got efi, a/c and will go 75+ on flat highways here in KS.

I agree the flatbed is not my favorite but the rest of the truck was built right and EFI so I had to compromise

They can, but this is the wrong thread. Try the Newbie Tech Section, or Google. There are a few options out there.

You talking my sr5 graffics? I used the bed coating from napa. Only thing I wish I would have rubbed the spots down with some red scotch bright. May stick better that way. Just don't get wax on the bed coating cause it will kinda show forever. Got some on the edges on my hood a few years ago and you can still see it.
