Thanks, that's kind of what I'm going for. I want a classy, badass, not over-the-top look. I'm thinking the SRT-10 tips, the Cowl hood, and some nice 33x12.5 A/T tires, hellas behind the grill, and a couple other small things will really set this truck off and make it take full use of the stock body lines, but give it a much more aggressive low-profile look to it. I would love a lifted or slammed truck but it's my tow truck, 50% of my miles have a horse trailer behind it so I think this look works perfectly.

Looks real nice! I'm partial to the two-tone myself.

I would get some good quality shocks on all 4 corners and throw a swaybar on the *** end. it'll help with your trailering as well as your handling. They are only a few bolts if you wanted to remove for offroading for the day. New shcks will make a world of difference. i can't wait to put some on mine.
Not sure how long it's good for but Shockwarehouse has a 5% sale going on right now if you use the code. PM me for it, not sure if I can post it r not? http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/bilstein_info.cfm

Get some gears. Also, you should get the door spears and have them painted to match. They go on the lower part just below the crease. i wanna get a set so I don't get dinged up.

otherwise, great job!

I'm generally a fan of monotone paint jobs, but damn does that look good. It's also very different from what you normally see, it turned out really well, lookin forward to more pics!

Thanks for the plug! The 5% discount is permanent to forum members and is directly from us. I will post any manufacturer discounts as they arrive.

This one just started on 7/1 and runs through 8/31. When you purchase ANY combination of 4 of the RS9000XL and / or quickLIFT shocks you get a WIRELESS remote control for their 9 setting ride comfort shocks FREE. These are valued at $188.

The way it works, you show proof of purchase with a mail in rebate and they send you the remote.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

I think that's because you are so used to seeing them on your truck?
