Yeah I haven't put the tips on yet, cause Im not sure if Im gonna keep them out the back, or cut them short of the bumper and dump them. Once I lower it in october and get the airbags on and all that done Ill make a decision. If I decide to keep them out the back, tips will be the first thing on my list.

Trup,
If you drop her down, you'll probably choose to go with dumping them. The tips sticking out under the bumper distract from the clean parellel line of the bumper and the ground. If you are going to keep the hitch it can easily be moved up behind the license plate, again cleaning up that lower edge. Dropped 4x4's always have a very special look. IMHO......

Thanks man, that's exactly what I was thinking. I don't think I'd like the look of them sticking out the back with it lowered. I just dont want alot of drone from the exhaust in the cabin, so Ill dump them as far back as I can. Im not gonna put a roll pan on, I bought the sport version with painted bumpers for a reason, so Ill prolly keep it like that. But thanks for the input! Your truck is amazing!

Gang,
Here is a recent data logging of a 0-60 mph run. It was a backup run to a 5.97. Red is now in the 5's. This is has been my goal for a while.



Thanks for looking...
