For that exhaust, Magnaflow makes a single in / dual out muffler I used on my '07 MegaCab. I had the exhaust shop make me two new tail pipes, they installed double walled angle cut tips and no resonators. It sounded DAMN good!

I'll have to check that out. I might stick with the single in and single out. It looks cleaner being tucked away imo. I would either put it out the side or just turn it down towards the ground away from my axle. Already getting tired of the stock muffler and no resonator sound.

Here's the picture of my led set up I never put up from earlier

Here's some pics that might help. The only thing I saw when the truck was on the ground was the tips.

i got my tints done finally. 5% all around the back 50% on front doors (because California is strict, aka illegal, on tinting front door windows) and a 5% brow.

Nice. I want to get tinting done later on mine. I've gotta replace one of my passenger windows

Thanks. Only cost $240. This guy is a pro but doesn't charge as much as he should/could I think.

Next on my list is the level. Anyone have an idea on what to do for a 4 inch level kit? The max I've seen is 2.5....I don't want a bro lift with the front higher. There's a 4.75" height difference. Any suggestions?

Coils or coils and spacers. Then 2" blocks with some 2" shackles if you can find them. That would probably be the easiest and least expensive route.

The largest coral spacers I've seen are only 2 1/2 inches. Is there anything bigger than that? And I want to lift the front, the back is at the height I am looking for

I meant 4" coils or a combination of coils and spacer.

maybe i missed this, but why did you paint a color matched bumper black?

When I got the truck the po had all sorts of dents and super deep scratches on it. Decided to go black to give it a newer look. Now it's chipping from the rocks and bugs we hit out here in the boondocks. Thinking about bedlining it in the future. But that's way down the road.

I've had good luck with the gallon bucket of bedliner from Walmart. It's bondo brand I think. Just do good prep work and lay on a few coats. It doesn't work well for bed use because of dragging stuff across but what a bumper goes through, it should be fine. I plan to buy a gallon for my truck later (not for the bed obviously)

When my wife drives the truck almost once a month there's a mysterious scratch or little dent somewhere. Now there's a pretty good scruffle and it took the clear coat and paint off. Not down to the primer.
Any advice on how to fix this, besides for not her driving it lol

I already cleaned the spot pretty good to make sure it's not just the clear coat. It didn't go away like the other little marks I've hidden.

Try to polish what you can, but if its through the clear then its repaint time

My wife son mother in law and brother in law were in the truck coming back from grocery shopping and get hit by another driver that was on her phone and passing in an intersection. Trucks not totaled but is certainly not drivable. When I met her at the scene the drive shaft was on the ground rear driver tire was flat and the driver side fender was pretty tore up. I ask for prayers for a speedy recovery for my wife and son who are still pretty shaken up. Thanks guys.
And please stay off your phones or other devices drivers. It can cost you your life or worse someone else's!
