hmm looks kinda like my truck did, nice job man, hope you like the procomps, i love mine except for there wearing kinda fast. its messed up though ill go offroading and my tires will kick a bias tire like a tsl or a pitbull at rockcrawling, they do pretty damn well in the mud to. rain there ok until you hit a big puddle and then they pull hard. i havent had a chance to try them on my truck yet in snow but they did awsome on my friends truck, we climbed up a snow covered mountain ( about 5inches of snow) with it in 2wd and the rear end locked

do those 315's rub at all at full turn?? i have good year mud terrains 35.12.5's (but they measure to 34 1/2) and they look like they'll rub like a bitch when i put them on after the body lift (6 inches of lift).. if so does anyone know where i can find longer control arms for a 3 inch lift.. suposively the ones that come with the 3 inch lift if it was the more expensive brand

At full lock, the only place the tires rub are on the mud flaps. They come pretty close to rubbing on the wheel well. (Right at the bottom back corner) Turning while flexing could prove to be a problem though. I think I might try to piece together 3" more lift for a total of 5" suspension + 3" BL.

quadro: That is Line-X sprayed on the fenders as well. Im pretty happy with the flares so far.

For those interested, this is the cost breakdown:

(Canadian)

This is all Canadian prices:

to get the rockers and wells sprayed: $700

to get the line-x color matched: $200 (The color of the paint sprayed on top of the line-x)

to get the flares sprayed: $150

to get the box done inc. over the rails: $620


The actual Line-X itself they used for the rockers and wheel wells was white, but kind of an off white. They guys said that they recommend getting the color matched (sparyed over top) so the actual line-x wont fade or dis-color. The flares and box was sprayed in black, and didnt require any color matching. Flat black looks pretty good also.

Any other questions, just shoot away

here are a few more pics from some minor off-roading. Although its nothing too crazy, I did manage to get stuck (The truck hit a bog, and sunk down to the axles) At that point it took the pressure of the tires and all 4 of them were spinning. I had to get pulled out.
