I'm putting on a 3" body lift tommorrow and I started preping the truck today by taking off the things that I can do by myself. No I'm not doing a roll pan. What is a roll pan by the way?

Its a flat (rolled to the lines of the body) piece of fiberglass, plastic or metal that replaces the bumper so instead of having something stick off the back, it gives a clean, flat "shaven" look.

Kent just wants to see if he can get one while still being able to keep his hitch. lol

And Kent, I can take those brake light covers off your hands then. They will help clean up my rear end even more

Btw Marc, does that hitch stick out past the body lines? Im wondering if mine is going to be in the way. I would love to keep it back there for some protection incase I get rear ended, but either way the new roll pan is going on. Ive got insurance.
