I got the air deflector from a local Dodge Dealership for 102.00. You could probably find it cheaper from someone here on the forum, but I love the way it looks. I was thinking of painting the bolt heads but I like the look for now, Ill probably change it in spring when I purchase the roll pans and Rims & tires. Thank you

Looks good. Do you have a pic from the side so we can see what kind of profile it adds to your truck?

Not at the moment but I will take one this afternoon. The profile looks really sporty and will look great once I upgrade my wheels

Hell forget about looks, for how heavy those damn tailgates are, it is actually a good looking functional upgrade to your truck. I love using those things. Good job man.

It def helps lifting my tailgate which is the second reason I purchased it. I will add more pics of the side profile and from a far distance without sunlight in the way...
