I will be doing the same thing once I get home. I have already put on black headlight housings, black altezzas, and black fuel door. I haven't decided if I am going to be blacking out the grille with chrome inserts or matching the color to the body with chrome inserts. Bumpers and wheels will definitely get blacked out.

I just bought some plasti dip for my bumpers and grille. Did you take the bumpers off the truck or just use some type of degreaser and tape it off and paint it right on the truck? Also, I was planning on plasti dipping the wheels, why did you paint over plasti dip those?

BTW: Looks super sharp, hope mine turns out as good.

I also want to know if you had any problems with the spindles hitting the sway bar when fully turning. I hear different things when people install the 3" spindle on 06+ trucks. Did you have any problems with the alignment?

Sorry haven't been here in awhile updates
I am now running 275/65r20 at's
I do not have any issues with the spindles hitting or rubbing you do have to swap brake lines.
The wheels were painted because I had left over paint and I wasn't sure about the plasti dip with the lug nuts, I didn't want to repaint every time I rotate the tires
