I actually like the way it looks on your truck abels. Looks pretty sick with those rims. And I really don't mind the brush gaurd. Looks pretty good to me.

hey if you are welding thick stock make sure you have a nice controlled bead and voltage. don't use any of that hot glue gun flux core wire that you get in MIG's, find a buddy with a TIG welder and do it right or you WILL regret it at some point.

What are gap guards? I've been thinking of putting a 3 inch lift on my truck as well. It's a 2000 Dak Quad. Wheres the best place to order a lift kit?

I bought my kit & shocks from Summit Racing , As for gap guards they are so you cant see through the wheel well to the other side of the truck. Im using old Semi mud flaps & making my own there way to expensive to buy.

When i did my buddies full size ram i used conveyer belt for the gap. Also used plastic push buttons from Napa to hold everything on. Very easy to make.
