Nice truck, lots of stuff already done for ya! The only suggestion I have are gap guards for the front wheels wells. Myself, I like to keep that covered. Otherwise, I have nothing else to add. Congrats!!

Oh, and gears too. With bigger rubber and your 4.6, some 4.56 gears will wake that truck up.

Nice looking truck man! Those wheels look a lot like my ion alloy 174's but with a different trim ring around them haha.

For gears with install I'd roughly guess 1100+ depending on parts chosen and place you decide to go. Or if your talking about gap guards I'd figure 200ish.

Are you going to put on different badges too? Or just have the holes filled?

I think the stripe would look good as long as you fill the resulting holes properly. And I like the chive decal! Haha I still laugh every time I see one
