I agree, some of the factory 20s look pretty nice and fairly cheap, like these, but until it needs new tires, whats on there now should be fine.

actually, if we want to get technical, 'LSX based' is even too specific... 'LS1 based' is totally wrong especially since its a GenIV and not Gen III. I believe this engine would be more broadly specified as a 'generation IV small block V8' or more specificly, 'Gen IV Vortec 5300'

either way, its a nice truck, congrats to the OP!

not an LS1 exactly but nice LS... something or another,

the truck is pretty i bet its got a lot of pull and the motor probably looks tiny in that big body huh (at least it would be easy to change the last two spark plugs haha)

Nice LSMOTHERFUCKING1

Damn we have some morons in here. 90% of the parts from an ls1 are interchangeable with the 5.3L. Close enough.

Looks great! Needs a 4/6 drop, Rollpan, and 22's!

This wheel and tire combo is nice and priced reasonably:
