How do you like the rough country lift and how is the ride quality?

I have only had it on a few days, but it doesn't seem rough to me. This truck has never been in the mud or on a gravel road and it will stay that way.

Perfect height and wheel and tire setup for that truck and the perfect amount of chrome. Very tasteful

Honestly, remove all that stick on chrome. It looks pretty bad. The front grill also doesn't look in place, it just looks like a piece of cheap plastic. Remove the hid lights until you get projectors so you won't blind everyone on the road.

Then some black wheels or tastefully chosen chrome ones, and your truck will be looking pretty nice.

When I painted it I had to buy new molding or go with the blacked out theme. Everyone does that so I decided to go chrome. And aren't all the grills plastic? My hid's on high beam (strange enough) on hi beam shoot straight into the ground. I tried some cheapies out to make sure I wouldn't be blinding people. And they don't, I've had my buddies drive it past me while in another vehicle and they're fine.

I don't mind some chrome but I think you do have too much. If it were me I would lose the chrome on the pillars, around the windows, door handles, tailgate handle, wipers and the bug guard. The grill is different but I kind of like it, I would black out the grill center and leave the suround chrome. I would remove the chrome body side molding and the strip on the tailgate too. You could also pick up a set of FX4 or Lariat wheels that would look better than the factory steelies.

How did I do spending your money? Honestly if you like the way your truck looks that is all that matters.

Either people love it or hate it lol it definitely doesn't have that off road vibe a lot of people shoot for with these trucks. But I like it, it's different. That grill was $160 and its one piece. I don't like the billet grills what so ever and It was love at first site when I saw the vertical. I am thinking about getting chrome rocker panels and taking the molding off. Since I'm getting chrome fender flares lol
