Dumb question, but if the single headlight guys can do a simple plug and play swap to the duals. Why can't you just simply do the other way around? I know of a few guys on here who have popped out the singles, popped in the duals and pluged the harness back up.
Other wise, a hood is a must. I could do without the graphics, but SEMA does require such. Some killer bumpers would be sweet. Nothing like big meaty bumpers on a large 4x4..... oh wait.... yours is a 2wd..... JK Big bumpers would still look sick.
Stereo is a must as well, ditch the back seat and go wild. And how about a nice drop down BBQ and fridge in the back, just for those tailgate parties? After all, a 2wd is a pavement pounder. (just had to toss another dig in there, sorry)

Looks decent enough with the 38's now. What is the point of adding 10 more inches of lift without adding bigger tires and cutting the fenders to fit the bigger tires? Some 52" Michelins and it would look cool with that much lift, but then you would have to do something functional and beef up the axles.
As it sits with the 38's the stock rear end is living on borrowed time (if the truck gets driven)

its getting regeared after the new lift. for SEMA we are doing 40s but the lift will allow us to clear 44s. The 38s we have no dont clear so thats why we are going bigger. since its custom it cost me the same wether it was a few inches or alot. so i chose alot to make more of an impact.
So what do you do with something like that after SEMA? We've got a couple local companies (ORO and BVOR) who build some vehicles for SEMA, but they are always functional - plus sometimes some wierd paint and accessories.
As for the lift, what kind of bracing do they do on the back of a huighe box IFS lift like that? Seems like if you ever ran the front tires, or the front of the box into anything (like even a curb) that the pressure to fold the box back would be immense.

Check them out at www.bncoffroad.com and see what you think of their work.
Looks like their norm is 2-3 feet of lift, stock axles and 6 inches of ground clearance. Show trucks, sure - offroad - no way
This one especially cracks me up:

LOL, we're supposed to be nice, so I'll just say I would relish the chance to see any of their stuff actually go offroad - I'll bring my jeep with 35" tires and 4 inches of lift along to drag them home
