The truck is looking great. I like the extensions you added to the steps and the front bumper is looking great too.

Those bump stops are the same ones I am going to use on my Jeep. Did you find a good price on them? Who are you getting them from?

Thanks Wildman!
I picked up the mounts for them on http://www.polyperformance.com/#Syne...0-Air-Bump-Can

The bump stops came from

How are you coming on your engine build?

This design has a plate with a nut welded to it under the bed welded to the bottom

Then the bolt screws down through the bed and locks the tire in place and then with a padlock through the welded on chain link, the tire is secure

The lift I put on had 5" lift leaf springs and the D80 and spring perch pads gave me 2 more inches. The shackles are still stock set up

All of the little LEDs are eagle eye lights. The red lights are 3 watts each and the white ones are Gen4, 5 watts each.

I'll take a night picture to show the light quality.
