about a month ago:






and now,

Bedlined bumper, cleaned up the heads (actually painted black its just hard to tell on our models) and smoked the corners,




bedlined rear bumper, smoked tails :



after the body lift :






within the next month or two i will be adding, 6" suspension (havent decided on what brand yet) 37" tires ( also undecided) and 4.88s

Looks good but you seriously need to paint your frame black.

Nice truck, although I have never been a fan of body lifts on these trucks in general. Your headlights are very suiting for the look you have going.
