Also, sad or glad to say...put my OEM shackles back on....getting ready to replace struts/install a leveling kit the correct way....in the front...to RAISE it....what a difference it made...feels like a truck again...(no disrespect to those running rear leveling kits) I just wanted to do something different again....

Awesome man! I love the way my splash guards look! Adds so much to the rear end. And your truck will definetly look good leveled. I cant believe how much better mine feels now that the front end is higher. And with the kit inside the strut its a little stiff, but that just means less wear on the front end

Just wait until its leveled. You'll always have a smirk on your face while driving it, and you may get funny looks and people questioning your happiness, but they just wouldnt understand.

Those splashguards are awesome, good work on the paint. I gotta repaint mine when it warms up.
