Sometimes I think, what if I lifted my truck and put some great looking rims and tires on it? That would look cool! Then I realize I'm a 55 YO, white male and I'd probably look a little goofy trying to be like the HS kids I teach. So, I'll stay conservative and keep everything stock. That's not because a lifted truck doesn't look great, it's simply because those years are behind me. As
@GrimsterGMC said, it's really about what makes us feel good. I get plenty of looks and questions about my OEM setup (and yes, it feels good to be acknowledged that keeping it that way is OK too).
