That's awesome looking! Love it. How much the LED white/amber KC's run?

I got the KC lights on eBay from KC. They were selling factory seconds with a huge discount. They just have a little scuff on the rear that you can't even see.

Also - The amber is Lamin-x film. Don't know why, but KC doesn't offer any amber covers for anything besides their pro6 series.

I have Falcon shocks also (tow/haul). Love them. What height do you have the fronts set at? I've been thinking about going to something in about a 34" diameter and those that you chose look really good.

I had it on the second highest setting and it was perfect until the bumper. Had to bump it up to the highest after this heavier bumper. Leveled it perfectly.

Not a fan of the Rebel grill, stock black out looks so much nicer imho. Not my rig so it don’t matter. I do like your new bumper very much tho!

Unfortunately this bumper requires the headlight fillers underneath and the grill without the bottom angles. Rebel grill comes down straight and works with the headlight fillers.

I used the same (second highest - about +1.5") and, like you, it looks perfect to me. I have the stock bumper, so no need to adjust. I think you have convinced me to go with the 17" wheels and the 285/75-17 tires once I make the upgrade. I want something that will give a larger diameter plus a little more sidewall for some modest off-road work. Thanks for posting this. Also, as a side note, I am also sort of a Mustang guy. Don't have one now but had 2 different '66's and a 2008GT (see attached).

Ive had a few myself. I have had 10 and a Lightning. Was a Ford guy my entire life and then caught the Dodge bug pretty bad.
