I think you should do a 3" body lift on it and 37's! Man that would look killer! Ive been thinking about having the chrome part of my front bumper PTM to blend in with my PIAA valance! I love what your doing with your truck! I really want to do those coil spacers but i remember how hard it was just to get the springs in there with out them! LMAO!

I was in the same boat as you. Painted mine on the truck. I just masked off the area which took me about 15 minutes. Seemed like a lot less work to me. I used the Duplicolor black trim paint which is a semi-gloss black. It turned out great.

I want to soo bad but don't have the money for that right now lol. The plan was when I need new tires, get the body lift and 37's on 20" fuel octanes. I'm starting to save up for them but I think I have a ways to go before my tires wear out.

I currently have a 3" PA body lift but i just can't afford the 37's... Like 2500 bucks. I'll get there eventually but the new motor stuff broke the bank for me last year and still trying to recover.Your truck is going to be one of a kind man really dig what youve done! Good job!

Put that baby on anyways!! It won't look bad on the 35's, then when you step up to the 37's the body lift will already be on there! And I feel ya on the motor work, I just had to rebuild my tranny and that cost around 2500 dollars. It's not fun paying for things like that. And thanks man, But I still like yours more, I'm debating on getting those fender flares you have. I'm having the OEM ones put on next week but maybe later on down the road I'll get those .


On a side note here's some more pics

I will say the fender flares were my favoroite mod for looks i had done to date.Just totally changed the look of the truck only thing i had to do was put wheel spacers in the rear to have them fill out the flares. I think a set of HD rep head ights would look killer on your truck too if you baked them apart and blacked out the orange refelector strip in them. Ive yet to see any one do that to HD reps yet. Im thinking the OEM flares are going to look sick on your truck though!

Do you mean coil spacers? Because I'm not running wheel spacers, but it's a 1.5" coil spacer.

And redphantom thanks man, defiantly better than the chrome but the next rims will be the best!

Looks good man! When I get around to changing my lower ball joints, I think I'm going to put my 1.5" Daystar spacer back on.
