Awesome thanks! Thats exactly what I was looking for. I'll be home the weekend after this one and I plan on redoing both bumpers with roll on bed liner. Your truck looks good btw, same look as mine just a bit higher, how do you like the body lift?

Throw my $1.25 in. Obviously prep time is most important thing. I used SEMs PROTEX liner. You can get thru Eastwood for around $220 I think. Its a polyureathane and its UV protected. By far the best thing you can do to a truck.

I like the body lift so far because it was so cheap, its been through Pismo dunes and a bunch of mud holes without any problems. My only complaint is that I dont like body lifts in general because the beds load limit is dramatically less without added reinforcement.

I've never heard of a body lift decreasing the beds load limit, do you think a snowmobile in the back would be a problem for a truck with a body lift? I'm thinking about getting a body lift just before its time for tires and replacing my 33's with 35's

its because the bed its sitting on little pucks instead of on the frame. It makes stress points on the pucks. The PA body lift comes with metal supports that you can weld on for added support. I dont think a snowmobile will be a problem.
