Default Clean truck and 14X3 Pic heavy.

So I washed my truck today and decided to get some pictures of my truck as it sits now, and since I got pictures of the truck I took a few shots of the 14X3 and I dont think I have ever posted up pictures of my headlight ballasts. The new things since my last full size pictures are the steps which are lined with undercoating(off-brand of line-x) 1 inch body lift, exhaust with black powdercoated tip, although you cant see it great, and thats about all visible from the outside.

And for AF I decided to measure my fenders to the ground, 42.5 inches in the front and 43.5 inches in the back, thats leveling keys, add a leaf, and 1 inch bodylift with 35X12.5X17 Toyo Mt's.





























Sorry they arent the best, they were taken with my iphone in the fading light on a cloudy day...

Looks great Cherry. What kind of headlights are those? Are they plug and play?

The bottom of my tailgate is line-xed, it protects it if I ever have a load of gravel in the back of my truck and some gets on the bumper, if I drop my tailgate without cleaning it off on accident, I used to do that with my old truck all the time...

Thanks about the headlights btw, and to answer 4XL at the same time, Im not really sure what brand the housings are, they were a lucky ebay find, I recommend them to anyone who wants the aftermarket headlight housings though, they are definitely the best quality on the net. Not quite as good of projectors as a retrofit, but definitely the best ones I have seen yet. The HID's were purchased from intensehid.com, pricey compared to some, but I have yet to have a set of them have any issues whatsoever, I have 3 sets on my truck and a set on my girlfriends volvo.

And thank you too Lastrights!!

And AF, I was very surprised to find out I was that close, I have really fresh 35's so I can see that giving me about a 1/2 inch over yours, but a "6 inch lift" vs what should only be tops a 3.5 inch lift... take away that half inch from yours, lets say the fabtech is actually a 5.5, then take that 1/2 away, that makes 5 inches, you should be a strong 1.5 inches taller than me, and that would be if I am over the top with my level, and I dont think I am, my cv's are barely any worse than my buddies with an actual lift kit on his truck and mine sits level with his... It really makes me hesitate about buying a lift kit...

I just ordered the pucks from performancelifts.com, and the bolts from like boltdepot.com, I got the idea from OE, he did it to his, but he removed his because he couldnt figure out how to raise his bumpers, I figured out the front pretty quick, but the back took me until yesterday to figure out, although I havent done it yet.
