I guess I really did not think about the calipers I was thinking that he saying they had 2 pistons on each side. Like a 4 piston caliper. Are truck does comes with 2 pistons on one side.

VERY nice! I was just wondering what the grill would look like with the crosshairs painted in black! Now I know, and in the near future I will be matching you...as soon as I "make" my new grill inserts

SWEET!

I recommend you get the painted drilled and slotted rotors next time you do brake work since your new wheels are very revealing and possibly paint some things behind the grill such as washer fluid reservoir black

Actually the old leveling kit is gone, it fused itself to the top of the old struts and nothing we did could get them apart:

One thing I did forget in the first post though is that I swapped out the K&N for an AEM Brute Force. Once I get my apartment all set up I'll put up the K&N for sale and possibly my old headlights, not sure if I want to sell them just yet.

Those actually were the black coated rotors from brakeperformance.com. Stopping power is great but the coating has not held up as well as I'd like, I thought about trying to paint them but slathering caliper paint all over my braking surface seemed like pushing it a little too far. I am thinking of painting or dying that washer fluid reservoir though, I wonder how hard it is to take out?
