Truck looks clean, and I love the looks of those bumpers, but it looks like the bumper takes it toll on the front with the rake the truck has, might want to look into a leveling kit or getting a stiffer rate spring for the front

Nice ride dude! Always been a big fan of the 2nd gens in Silver with black bumper/accents. Looks to be very good shape! Glad to have you with on DF!

Welcome(?) to df you have a great looking truck! I love those offroad wheels and I'd kill someone to find a nice brushguard for the front albeit in chrome

Thanks all.

Yes, Im in Texas, DFW.
The rake is factory seeing that its stock susp. (just a body lift)
I have compared the rake to others and I dont really think mine sits any lower in the front, maybe just a little. I think the front ranch hand is about 175lbs. I'm 220 and when I bounce around on the front the truck doenst really sink any lower.

I'm not a huge fan of having the truck sit higher in the front. (ie, chevys that crank the torsion bar, really looks bad when accelerating and the front is 4" higher in the rear)
I dont know maybe a 2" spacer in the front would be nice in the future.

None the less, thanks for the warm welcome, the forum has treated me well so far.


if you want to ride high in the front get one of these
