Coming from you thats a real compliment. I've been drooling over your truck for a while now! That hood and light bar look tough. I'll be doing the same as soon as my bank account recovers. BTW, how much did you pay for the hood and paint??
Thanks Spankdog, I paid $940.00 for the hood paited to match from RamAir hoods, the hood is metal and the paint matches perfectly.

speaking of the lightbar... isnt that going to cause you problems in the summer? looks to me like you just lost about 40% of your airflow to the radiator...
Hey Steve-O, I was worried about that too but my temp gauge didnt go up at all, so far so good

Yeah if you level it and tow you're back end is going to squat down and the front will be higher. Of course you can always level it by airbagging the rear and then it will always be level empty loaded or whatever and ride much better too.

No problems at all. Actually, with the backspacing on the H2s I didnt even need the leveling kit. I put them on before the leveling kit and they didnt even come close to rubbing. Not even at full lock. I justwanted it to sit level.

That sounds good to me. How is the fit? I was looking at getting a SRT hood but if the one you have fits right then I might go that route instaed

Awsome looking truck Spankdog. Have you had a chance to check your mileage since the leveling kit and tires were installed. If so I'd be interested to know what you were getting before and after.

Thanks,
Stephen

What about speedo recalibrate? You going to do it? I am staying with 33's because I don't want to have to recal.
