I think the bushwackers are gonna make your truck and tires look small, they are too big/wide for 12.50's in my opinion.

they look really good on trucks with 7"+ lift and 13.50 wide tires on big offset wheels.

just my 2 cents

I appreciate that. Thanks. But is my paint going to take a beating without some protection?

Lookin good. Gotta get rid of those chrome bumpers now. :D

I know they're hard on the eyes. I would like something like the Iron Cross bumper but I don't want to look like a tool putting such a beefy bumper on a 1500.

I guess another option is plasti dip and I might look into that in the spring.

Suggestions welcome.

looks great, did the spacer in the rear keep a slight rake to your truck? (rear higher)

im going with a 2.5 front level but nothing in the back, wondering if the front spacer alone will leave it flat level

I don't think so, if anything it seem to have a reverse rake.

I'd suggest the EGR bolt on style flares especially for you because they go beyond the headlight and flush with the bumper. If you get the bushwackers they stop at the headlight and you see the strip of body colour paint before the chrome bumper.

The wheels/tires look sweet!
