I will, the truck just isn't my DD anymore so it hasn't been that big of a concern. When I do it, I'll be at 11" up front. At 9.5" up front and 6" in the rear right now. Not sure what I'm going to do with the rear. Either swap to a 4"-5" block with an AAL or just get 6" Deavers or the Skyjacker springs.

The deaver springs would be pretty sweet! But expensive lol. There ain't nothing wrong with the block and AAL setup, I have the 5" block and 1.5" shackle, originally I was planning on puttin an AAL back there to make it level with the coil spacer up front but now I like the bulldogged look to much lol.

So I did a few things to the truck, I got all my bumpers front and rear professionally painted and it's 1000 times better. Also finally got around to putting my fender flares on. And last I painted the rims black, I liked the white but it would never stay clean. I kept having to touch them up so I just painted them black lol. Let me know what yall think. Sorry if the pictures turn out big.

Str8t six- I know I know lol, I'm think that the smoked lightning headlights will look pretty good on her, what do you think?

AndersonS - the shop I went to charged me 400 to paint the front an rear bumpers, upper bumper pad, mirror caps, and fender flares white, and he reprinted my valance and rear bumper trim black. He did a great job and I think I got a pretty good deal on it. I had painted them white before and it looked good for a couple weeks but then started to fade and would always chip so I just had a professional do it lol.

Thats the look!! I like the black wheels much better. I wish they made "wagon" wheels for our trucks. I can't find a picture, but they had like 8 triangular holes in them. They were basic, but I like the style. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Looks good man! I like the black wheels better. And I'm with josh on new heads. Either some L heads and corners or black L heads and corners will look killer!!! It's crazy how much they improve the look of the truck!

And I installed some JL audio tweeters flush with the door panels which I think turned out great! The sound is so much better with them, just a lot clearer sound quality.
