It's definitely coming along! Still lots more plans for it though. Hopefully I can get most of the things I want for Christmas and really get the ball rolling on some more expensive mods like a gear swap.

Next mod coming in by the end of the week! Airlift 1000 thanks to Andrew at Bully's Performance! I should be able to have them installed Friday night, just in time to test them out when I tow my jeep up north on Saturday.

So, even though the bags made the ride so much smoother, my truck still sags just as much. Since the bags are made for a stock truck I'm going to have to add some sort of spacer under them to compensate for the longer springs

Bye bye bully dog. With superchips expanding their tunes to cover the 11-12 4.7's, I got a great deal to be a guinea pig and try it out. I should get slightly better hp results (10-15hp) and better trans tuning with the superchips.

This is great news...

We have a special on these tuners this weekend :D

Just got a quote for $633 to have my bumpers color matched.. Still up in the air on whether it is worth it or not but I think I want to go for it

Who color matched your bumpers? I didn't think you could paint chrome

A body shop did it, you can't paint directly over it, there is lots of prep work involved. I would have got them powdercoated but for some reason none of the places in my area that do powder coating could do something as big as a bumper

Just picked up a new front diff assembly from a 2011 and a machined rear carrier for my 4.56 swap, now all I should need is the gears themselves!

Can't believe I missed all the big news. I can't believe they want $633 for powder coating it's $100 a bumper here. Let me know how you like the superchip since I'm in the same boat as you with the 4.7.
