I forgot to say, I might also try and get a 3 inch body lift. So that I can take off the 1 inch lift and get rid of the huge gap I have in the bumpers right now.

Your truck didnt look so good in that picture where you are flexing, the side view one, it really looks like your cab and bed are getting torqued out of line with eachother. I just fixed up my front brackets on my 1 inch bodylift and raised my front bumper about 3/4 of an inch, so its barely low now... btw, can someone measure the distance from your bumper to your fender, is it a 1/2 inch??

Looks much better, but I think you need to color match that black spear, it kinda sticks out like a sore thumb to me, either that or a chrome one, but I think color match would look best...

I think you should definitely consider fixing your bumpers before getting the 3 inch bl, the 1 inch looks really good imo, no visible frame at all!

Yeah, that was before I got to use an impact gun on my bolts. Now I am all squared away and tight up.

What are you using to drill the wholes. That metal is thick as hell. I just want to measure and drill, but I am worried that I wont have any play or adjustments for it, you know?

I first drilled pilot holes, then drilled a 1/2 inch hole with a brand new dewalt drill with dewalt bits, the real nice gold bits. Then I took an angle grinder and grinded out the holes to shape them almost to where they look stock shape, just farther down on the mount. I havent done the rear bumper yet, I am trying to think of a way to raise both the bumper and the hitch...

I like the chrome, to me the black grille looks cheap IDK maybe cause I used to have a 96 ram reg cab it was red with a black grille and the thing didnt have a single option.
