Very nice man. 2 questions:

1) What front chin spoiler is that? Carbon Creations Vortex?
2) Information on wheel setup. I love concave wheel setups

exactly! there is a Ram here higher than that, it has military axles and about 5' tall tires, I am amazed it is allowed on the street here quite frankly. I need to try and get a picture as I see it quite often when out cycling.

Yes, the front lip is a Vortex from Corvette Creationz.

The wheels are Forgestar F14's in satin bronze. They are 18x9.5 +50 offset, and 19x11 +53. The tires are Hankook Ventus EVO.2's in 265/35/18, and 305/30/19 respectively.

I don't think I could get into that truck without a ladder. Not that I care...I'd much rather be in a Vette

Definitely a unique picture! Is that a friend's truck or a random one you found?

Awesome thanks man. Looks great. I've been looking at that exact front chin spoiler but some people said they had a ton of fitment issues with them to make them look right and had body shops spend hours making them fit. Did you have any issues getting it to look right?
