Well after about 2 days plus a little extra Dave (Ultra) and I finished the trucks up. There is small tweeking that needs to be done but I absolutely love the look now. I owe a huge thanks to Dave for all the help! I am loving the look and the look without the bull bar as well now so good thing I took it off! Let me know your thoughts!

I know I need rims and tires they are in the works, as well as bushwacker fenders, tinted fronts and windshield and possibly the Morimoto DRLs from retroshop. I am going to plastidip the front and rear bumpers for a while until I want to drop the cash on a full replacement KORE bumpers.

Yeah man it worked out good. Looks great. How's it drive? I'd highly recommend taking the two bolts for the steering extension off, apply loctite and then torque to 33 ft lbs. Btw, I can't thank you and your neighbor enough, you guys are awesome!

Looks great. But that body lift may add some issues when switching to an aftermarket bumper. Nothing that time and $$$ can't fix though. Due to my BL I decided to stay with factory bumpers. Looking forward to the plasti dip bumpers though be sure to do a thread!

Edit: I honestly love the blacked out with a tiny bit of chrome on bumpers and door handles. I think it looks fantastic.

Yeah figured going with a tactical front end from KORE will required additional welding of extra spacers to make up for the body lift so it is a well future mod for now. I am going to plasti dip the bumpers tomorrow. I am going for the gloss and flat black combo between wheels, fender flares, handles, bumpers and mirrors.

Love that additional height. It's amazing how much of a difference 3" can make!

It's BEGGING for wheels and tires.
(that's why I'm not touching mine till I can afford it all at once!)

Thanks. Yeah the 3 inches is so much better. Now it's a hop in the truck instead of a step. The rims and tires will be happening hopefully within a week just waiting on some pricing to get back to me.
