My truck and gun play is definitely slacking thanks to the bike. Maybe if I can make an AR15 mount for the bike and have it in the truck bed and take a pic. thus getting all my hobbies in one picture haha

Truck looks great! Do you plan to do anything with the bumpers?

Thanks man. I've been tossing the idea around of HD bumpers but don't like the weight. Considering a light bar or pre runner bar but those require some fabbing to get them to fit with my body lift. Smittybilt makes some that bolt straight to the bumper that I am looking into. Chances are I may go for the less is more look and find a way to stealth mount some LED bars behind the grill and etc.
I'm wanting at least a 30" 180+ watt up front and two small set ups for reverse. I have somecheapos for now that help.

Also considering old school and getting a back rack and mounting a huge led behind my cab on the rack.

Yea as it sits know I think its really clean with enough chrome to pop but still be pretty blacked out. Pretty sure I'm just gonna do an led bar the length of the grill behind my mesh, upgrade my fog and headlight bulbs. Then do some 4" high output coming from hopefully a hidden spot under the rear like I have the cheap ones now.

Just updating. New lighting is on the way. I have came up with a way to mount some lights that I have never seen before on these trucks. Some may like it some may not. But they are gonna be hidden front and back and should help light up the night on those long drives I take for work. I plan on doing a write up on the brackets incase anyone wants to follow suit.

I still intend on possibly HID fog lights from retroshop. But I think I am gonna steer away from ridiculously bright head lights out of respect for other drivers as my head lights sit over the roofs of most cars anyways.

It was a very impressive build. It was done so well it looked like it could have been a stock truck. Would I do it? no. But as an enthusiast I definitely appreciate his attention to detail.

Yes sir. Rcx 6" + 3" pa body lift + bils at 2.1 in front and 1.5" spacers on coils in the rear.

I will probably remove my spacers sometime soon just because my bils have settled and it has a little too much rake now.

When I had my Bilsteins at 2.1, my 1" rear coil spacer leveled me out...sounds like you have more though

My front end has settled with quite a bit of rake. Will hopefully be putting my bills at 2.8 from the current 2.1.
