Ok so there is a issue with the tires fitting had to buy new hub extenders and the truck is getting the new rubbers on now. I might not get my truck back to day but I do have pictures to share of the 6" Zone Lift with Bushwacker fender flares. Sorry for the crappy pictures I take a bunch when I get her home.

Oh that's feakin AWESOME man! I love it and those flares look great. Just confirms it... I'm getting those flares and paint them.
The tires were the exact same thing they ran into on mine trying to fit the factory 20s. And exactly one week ago too. Hope they get it done for you soon!

I don't know how much they are charging you for taking off and putting them back on, but they aren't hard at all. I'd just take them off myself and drop them off at the painters. Save the middle man and probably some money.

That sounds about right to me. I would think between $150-200.
My dealer wanted $300 to paint and "install" them.

Oh yeah $200 isn't bad. The expensive part is for the shop to buy the factory paint. I'm sure labor charge to paint them isn't much since I'm sure wouldn't take long to paint.

Thanks bro. I am getting rid of my nurfbars. I want the Amp power steps
Sweet! If/when I ever get steps those will probably be what I go with. I just can't see spending the $800 on them now when there's still more to do to the suspension/tires/rims situation.
When you get a chance, can you snap a picture looking down the side of your truck? I want to see how your flares cover the tires. I realize you're going with 13.5 next, but I'm still not sure yet what I'm going to do.

Will do (if I can remember, lol). I'm definitely hoping mine provides protection otherwise I wouldn't be getting them. I can go either way, no fenders looks good on some trucks and the look of color-matched look good too. I can't go wrong either way really.

Dude, you're looking at a lot of serious cash right there! Probably close to $3k I would guess!

That sucks man. So are you having to run a spacer and are you running 12.5 wide tires?

No there not spacers. They are a new hub. So a hub on a hub that way I can get every single thread available to get the nuts on. I like the look even though I only have these bad pictures to look at.

Truck is looking good, but I definitely know the frustration on having to wait. When you get it back, it will be worth the wait!

Yeah it will be good. Sad part is I can't drive it when I get it back. I had surgery and I am unable to drive for at least another week. At least I am look at her in the driveway.

Man that really sucks! I hope you have a quick recovery so you can get back in your truck! Looking at it at it in your driveway though would be much better than having to see pictures of it I bet.

Yes at least then I could tinker on it. I need to get those badges removed and start working on a coat of wax.
