Thanks. I had to go white because anything dark in Atlanta looks like hell for 3 months out of the year because of the pollen.

haha yea I feel that. Were in TX and had a star white ordered but ended up with a SQM demo which was begging to be bought.

At least I got it ceramic coated and hopefully it’ll clean easier

Ceramic coating definitely helps(big fan), it takes me 15 minutes to wash it and it shines like I waxed it.

Then 20 minutes later the Annual Atlanta Tree Orgy leaves its mark again.

Have you picked out a pair of fender flares yet for the Lightning?

I am still waiting on someone to make one at a tolerable price.

Looking forward to seeing the fender flares as I am considering that as well. Please post pics when you do. And could you also post a pic directly from the side so I can see how the leveling looks? Would also like to know what you observe with range impact from those tires...

I have also been waiting on fender flares, specially raptor style to have the flushed with the tires. I am putting some pictures of my setup for you guys it is also leveled 2"

Love the wheels!

Ajjra · Apr 27, 2023

The wheels are fantastic. It looks like it says Fuel on them. Do you know which model and size and how much they weigh?

-Vorsteiner Offroad(Venomrex) VR601 Carbon Graphite.
20 x 9
12 mm offset
-2 Inch Level

They are flow forged and weight a lot less than the stock wheels at 27 lbs a wheel.

The tires on the other hand. LOL

The range definitely takes a hit but it isn't as bad as you would think. I am getting around 295 on an extended range after having this setup since January.

Added a couple of other pictures of it from the side and the wheels up close.

Much obliged! I like the look. On mine I put Fuel Vector wheels (20x9 +20) with Mickey Thompson A/T size 285/60R20. I'm really happy with it, but beginning to wonder if I should do the leveling like you. My front tires seem pretty close to the fender right now, but I haven't observed any rubbing. I don't mind the raked look with the rear end high, but I am worried that if I level it then whenever I tow a trailer or have a heavy load in the bed I'm going to get that "high nose" look which I really hate.
Have you seen what it does to the level if you have a load on the back? From what I understand, the 2" level is really the smallest that can be done, but let me know if that's wrong.
