Thumbs up

I had a roll pan on my 1990 4x4. It was up on 35" tires and it looked good to me. Don't have any pictures anymore though.

This month's Truckin' magazine has a SuperCrew with a roll pan, you may want to check it out.

Donate that would be a great idea...cuz you have that body lift and your rear bumper sits a lil low right? This way you wouldn't be able to even tell.
I've seen a few chevy's with them and they look fine...even for being on a chevy...I say go for it.

Hey Donate!!!! I just thought of something.
You might want to make sure it mounts to the body and not the frame, if it mounts to the frame it would still have the body lift gap.

If I still lived in Lauderdale I would paint it for ya. I would imagine a local paint shop would do it for under $50, depending on the quality of paint used of course.

i wondered the same thing. you think that if i get a fiberglass and it still hangs down, maybe i can re-drill some new holes to make it match? im getting it used and pretty cheap so im not too worried if i mess it up.

you sure you dont want to move back down here? i guess $50 isn't too bad. i want to repaint the truck in about 2 years or so, so maybe i could just tell them to use the cheapest paint for now and then when i redo the whole truck they can use some good paint.

thanks for the tips, guys!

go for it Donate...since it is fiberglass I doubt it wouldn't be to much trouble mounting it to the body if it mounts to the frame.

Most, if not all, roll pans mount to the body. I have never seen one that mounted to the frame. Stillen, Sir Michaels, all the quality ones mount with screws or rivets.

Also, one thing I found out about the hard way was that in my state, PA, it is illegal to take off the bumper. You may want to check your laws out before investing the time and money.
