brilliant! i thought that was something home made or "tweaked". how did they hold up? how do teh new fender flares look? and where dod you get that vertical sticker for the bed? also what did you do with the leveling kit? i know you had it above the strut then switched it. do you feel a ride difference? or see a loss of height?

sorry for the inquisition

after moving the kit i lost about a quarter inch...ride was better but i would say it was cause i put ranchos on at the same time...klings designs did my stripe! (hes on here) and those first trim peices lasted well but the new ones are way better!

looks great! is that the exhaust snealing out the rear? very nice. i like the new fender flares better as well. were they a pain to install? njjer said the bushwackers were a nightmare.


did you install the body lift yourself?


once again thanks for the insight.

thanks bro.... the flares were an easy install except they give you HUGE rivits with the kit that dont fit a normal rivit gun... i used stainless screws instead... that way you can remove them if you want without a hassle... the body lift isnt a hard job either...did it myself in a weekend...

NOT really very functional... but hey....looks good...
