I was gonna refrain, but since nobody else did......

It does look slightly off weed. I kept going back and forth looking at the B&A pics, asking myself if I was sure about my opinion, lol. MMMMM, Im not even sure whats "off" about it, really. I just like the before pic better. But Im definately not a naysayer about your truck in general, its still completely bada$$, handsdown. Id take it!!!!!

Lookin' good. Only thing I dislike about it is where the exhaust tips are now in proportion to the bumper.

weed- i think i'm going to have the same problem. i am moving into an apartment in the spring and i made sure i got one with a garage but now i lifted my truck and i dont think its gunna fit... the door is 7' and my truck measures out only a few inches under 7'. i may have to get a portable air compressor and air down to get it in there for the winter

Yep, a 2wd. My tips and all exhaust will be replaced here soon with a whole new system.

Cheapbeater.....Like I said, I had to let the air out of the tires to get it out but incase that was going to work I was prepared to pull the tires off and support the front end with two floor jacks to let it down lower so I could roll it out.

Thankfully I didnt have to do that though because those rims and tires are heavy.

Ive got gap guard man but I dont want to use them. Im going to get full liners here soon. Those just look better to me IMO.

THX tho.

Did you guys ever figure out when you are going to do a FLA GTG? I was in Jacksonville about 3 weeks ago BTW. I might be back soon.

I agree about the liners. They look so much better than gap guards.
