O and that bumper is a little too much for my liking. Looks like it weights 1000lbs. Im not looking for a military vehicle
I'm sure the linkage, steering, etc might have to be adjusted so I'm not sure. If you have a good collection of tools I'll help you. I don't weld and I think the bumpers need to be rewelded so thats the only thing I couldn't do (small and cheap task). The cab bolts are on floor underneath the carpet, wonder if getting to those is most of the work because I cannot see it being too difficult other than that.

yeah it is a little much on most trucks but it does sometimes look really good on lifted trucks! while at the beach in destin,fl, i saw i lifted chevy parked by the road , didnt get to stop and look but it looked nice and had probably 37s, a lift, and a ranchhand bumper replacement! man it looked tough for real!

yea I agree. I think it would look a lot better on a lifted truck. I kinda like this one but that would be at the end of my list of mods. I think you ahve ot be REAL big to have a bumper like that. So Id probably get 37s or 38s before the bumper.

I'm just an old fashioned old fart but I like the looks of the stock bumper better.

I vote for LT handles, you already have a nice lift, it looks great.

I think Ill go hood, LT handles, and a new hu. I could probably get that all for less than $1400. Does that sound good?
oh and maybe a train horn

If you did consider getting fender flare I would recommend the ones without the rivets. Since you truck is already clean looking, I wouldnt mess that up. You ever thought of a bull bar maybe? Looks tough and it doesnt way 5 billion pounds.

LT handles, flares (as mentioned above, the type without the rivets, keep the truck clean looking) and HU or LT handles, efans and intake. Get the pig moving you know. The hood and bumper aren't my taste, I think your truck is pretty darn slick at it's height with the wheels and tires you have.

Oh, a Carbon drive shaft maybe? Did you ever look into that?

I did. It costs about $900 for a carbon fiber one but they have other aftermarket stronger ones for cheaper. That might be a mod in the future but not roght now.

So you dont think I should lift it any more?
