I know I want to run these 40" + tires (maybe 44's) and the truck just didn't look right without doing what I did. I'll edit this post in the morning and post some photo's. I ended up having some time tonight so here are the photo's.


The soft leafs have been removed and the stock leafs are back on. The helper leafs are on top of the main leaf.

As you can see, the front has been really trimmed up. Gone are my humorous eye balls. I like my amber lights.



Well that's it for now. I don't know what will be next, but there will be a next, this is a fun rig. What I'm hoping we'll see for this truck are some metal bumpers that fit the bumper mounts well and some no slop diff locks. Other than that I'm pretty happy.

Looks mean!

Can you flip the bumper mount so it brings the bumper even with the grille?

you need the #1 size bumper if you're using the top setting on the body lift kit.

I have the #1 on the rear and it set the bumper flush with the body.

Are those Iroks? looks great.

Yea, I'll have to play with the bumper mounts today. They are the Blue Monkey, front and rear. Yes BKcrawler, IROCKS. Thanks for the kind words about the truck.

It looks like it's ready for some serious offroading, very sharp . Have you considered painting the headlight buckets silver/chrome? Mine looked like it needed some added detail to brighten it up.

TrailDawg362, I have some chrome reflective material that I was thinking of cutting and placing behind the lenses. Paint may be a better way to go however. Thanks.

Does this lift kit still work if you have the 4 link setup?

The body lift does. The lift blocks will only lift the leaf packs.

I have the body lift kit + a 4 link and it works fine. I have mudslingers which are a bit taller than the stock wheel and the fit nice into the wheel well with the lift.

Cool thanks

Finally found a driver that fits good..."Punisher"

The choice to cut was mine, as drastic as I went wasn't necessary, however, the whole thing looked funny with the fenders hanging down below the valance.

I'm looking forward to seeing your truck.
