project update with lift
Hey guys...Just wanted to do a project update.
In Sept. 2010 I bought a '98 1500 laramie 5.2 club cab.
Since them I've been working on it
The day after I got it
both rockers were rusted through and the bottom of the pass. door were the worst. Had that all fixed, along with a little more rust and scratches and dents.
then had the whole truck painted black
then added
-3" TGC lift-3" front spacer, 1.5" back blocks, steering stablizer, 4 new shocks
-16" dick cepek torque rims (new 2011 remodel)
-285/75 16 nitto terra grappler
-black bumpers, grille
-front break pads
-transmission pan
-smoked headlights
Still got to paint and add plastic to front and rear bumpers.
Also on the inside I got a Jensen VM9214 DVD head unit
got an amp wired, but still need to get some subs.
Also for the truck I bought flowmaster 40's and smoked taillights, haven't gotten around to them yet.
What do you think so far?

Wow, looking great! Congrats!
Oh, and I hate to be a fender flair downer, but I wouldn't put them on for the sole purpose of keeping the mud off the side of your truck... because it wont stop it. Trust me. Been there, done that. Now, if you are doing it more for looks, than have at it.
Also, the flairs will rub the hell out of your new paint job and scratch it up... it did on mine, and I used the black rubber strip too. Also, flairs mount to these trucks by drilling self tappers into the bottom edges of the fenders. That is a recipe for rust... took my tuck a few winters for that to begin in the "new" holes.
