Hey dude, so it looks like your step rails came up with your body? PA told me they might not, depending on where they are mounted. Mine look like they would follow.

Yeah no modification had to be done to the side steps! They stayed where they came from the factory!

Thanks man! Yeah I think it turned out perfectly down there! Plus I think in the fog it'll work well being low to the ground. However I have yet to **** that theory lol.

Little update:

I installed some bed lights in the truck! Just need to get some plastic tubing to cover up the wires and it's good to go!

Bought 16' of LED lights on ebay, used 10' under the truck and 6' in the box!

I picked up this demo unit for work. It's an ultralite product, this 30' unit with a deep 14' slide weighs in at 5247 fully loaded. Not sure on the tongue weight but it only sat the truck down 1". I didn't use a WD hitch, there was a bit of swag from time to time but overall I was impressed with how the truck handled it! Looks great behind there too!

To power the Led lights, where did you tape in for the 12v?
Great Idea also. Gives me something to think about.:waytogo::waytogo:

Ran wires right to the battery and installed a 10 amp fuse!

If I were to do it over I'd just get a suspension lift...only because I want AMP steps and I can't get them with a body lift lol.

That being said I'm very happy with my body lift. It looks great which is what it's supposed to do! Only thing I'd suggest is get some gap guards too!

Go for it man, I saved about $1000 and rarely go off road, so I didn't need a suspension lift.
