If I wanted to change the look to something like that I would look into them. I like the stock look with a big brush guard though. I really like them rims.

 

Like I said before, it looks great. But what about the weight on a 1500 (although you do have a SFA, maybe a bit stronger than a 1500 IFS) did you do anything to re-enforce? If not, did you notice any sag?

Not to steal your thread, but does anyone know where I can buy some diamond plate? Looking for aluminum. My winch mount on my Trans4mer grill/brush guard is flat black against the stainless Trans4mer. I don't like the look. Thinking I can use a brake and cut/bend some to fit over it and rivet it on. I know I could weld black steel diamond plate to it, but that defeats the purpose of trying to match the color. Any help would be appreciated...

 

Sorry dont know of any diammond plate.I do have a couple of friends that build bikes and do other metal work so they may have a piece.How much are you needing?
I didnt notice any sag at all with the bumper.

 

Steal someone's toolbox.

 

Tires go great in the mud,and on the hills.The grip is great and they clean out really well.
On they road they are fine.They are loud and sound like a WWII fighter though. Its cool for a bit but the noise can be a tad annoying on longer stretches of the highway,but then again I didn get them for the highway.

 

Not much, I was hoping for a couple pieces and I could use a brake to bend it on the angles, but if need be, I could butt smaller pieces at the curves. You'd not see the seams from more than a couple of feet away.
Basically the exposed black steel of the winch mount. If you saw the whole truck, my toolbox, bed rail guards & tail gate guard is all aluminum diamond plate, so I think it would go well. Plus the color would match the grille guard.

If you only need a small amount... try looking here: http://www.metalsdepot.com/products/...cc=%20&aident=

Probably better pricing than you would find at Lowes or Home Depot.

Good luck!

Well I didnt have any squat on mine and didnt do anything to the front suspension. I dont think I will have any problems in the future with in but I am goin to get rid of my set up once I build another, maybe not quite as heavey this time. Oh yeah, the brush guard is a ranch hand also.
