Did you relocate the exhaust or is there a larger gap?

about 2 years ago you could get them color matched from the part department.........now, nope. I actually nabbed mine from eBay for a steal, had my painter paint 'em up and I had less in them than the new ones from Mopar go. Can't beat that!

Truck looks good, I've been following the thread for awhile. The rcx combo kit with level and body lift keeps calling me.

thanks, sounds easy enough. for the holes that you had to drill for the new bumper bracket did you use a smaller drill bit for a pilot hole, or better yet what drill bit was best to drill into that metal?

do it! relatively cheap mod, and gives a nice stance

Used a smaller one first - so the bit doesn't jump around on ya.

I have no clue what we used - we had a box of bits, just grabbed one. :crazy:

There isn't a 2" kit, just a 1.25 and there is a 3" out there too.

What all does the 3" kit include?

Gotta extend any wired/hoses? I'm seriously thinking of doing this. How long it take to install? Cost of kit?
