You could always throw a 1.25" body lift on there like Durango and it will work with whatever lift you want to use later. That will be a combined almost 4" of lift to hold you over until the lift is ready.

yeah i could prolly do a body lift to hold me over till my 6'' or 4'' lift comes out, an no theres no lights in the bumper, just some rays from the sun hitting the front bumper, but when i get my iron bull bumpers ill be putting some lights on, but them damn stock head lights suck at night but soon to be changed to some hid's

yea with bilsteins and that body lift my truck has a nice stance. your truck looks good though especially with those tires. the rough country body lift isnt too expensive and made a bigger difference than i thought it would on my truck

Welcome, there aren't currently any kits on the market for 2012s that I know of. Something was changed on the 12s that make the kits from the 11s not work for it. Not sure who all is working on it right now, but do I know RCX is.

The bedliner will be cool and unique. I just didn't want to do that without doing the bumpers, and well, then that kinda defeats the purpose of me having a sport. lol.

They can color match line x haha
I have seen laramies with color matched linered flares rockers and bunpers and it looks really good of course they are all two tone to start
I wonder how it would look now
