Thanks, ive recently bought 2 more inches of lift(RC shackles and coil spacers), and gathering parts to do a long arm for a total of 6" .. the flares and end caps were sprayed with duplicolor spray can truck bed liner.. i backed off on the 2nd and 3rd coats to texture it so it all matches

Well it looks awesome! I am considering doing my flares, endcaps, and trim, or just remove the trim all together, can't really decide yet. I like the idea of it protecting my doors from door dings haha

Thanks. I debated on the door trim but it looked so clean without it and it just sits in the driveway. I bet ive only burned 1full tank of gas over the last 4-6 weeks. Im debating side steps or rockrails. But i have to do something to keep my kids from complaining. Ive also got the 37" tire bug . And access to a secret stash of axles.. So its very tempting. But i dont want to go overkill

after a week on stands and being out of town i finally got my 15x8's and 33's on.. and i can tell you now.. 15x8's drive alot straighter than 15x10's. the 10's had a tendency to wander and pull.. it drives as straight as an arrow now

wheel size is 15x8 with a 3.25"/-27mm offset on a 33x12.50 a/t with 4" lift

I got my ol crap exhaust replaced today, I had the double mufflers removed and 2.5" pipe with a magnaflow knock off put on it and it sounds awesome and runs so much smoother, the response is quicker and my engine also pulls more vacuum now, its a 01 it has cats under it although it doesnt look like it

ignore the leaking pinion seal, i have a new one. I just havent put it on yet
