so i got the bumper modified, painted and mounted today. and it totally changes the whole attitude of the truck, i completely love it. ive always wanted a full replacement for this thing and it really does make a world of a difference. better protection, more tire clearance and better winch platform. next mods will be body lift, Lightning headlights, 08+ SD tails and Recon LED running lights up top. and does anyone have pics of a truck with 285/75/16 tires and a 2-3" body lift? afraid i dont have enough tire to pull it off

285/75 16 is a 33 inch tire. Might I suggest a 305/70 16

Nice truck btw.

I would double check, but I don't think your bumper replacement will line up once you get a body lift

Looks badass though

ahh, thats what i figured. i never really liked the idea of a body lift, and probably wouldnt have done one. i just want a few extra inches, and really cant afford suspension lift. guess i will settle for now. thanks for the reminder!

ive considered ditching some of them, but they are all groups, freedoms or feelings that are important to me. especially my military and unit stickers.

but then i realize that i love driving through Austin (super liberal) and looking at some of the people stare and make angry faces, sometimes even take pictures
