So what are all the changes? Hard for me to tell.

Painted Calipers

Box in bed

Leveling kit

Did I miss anything?

Damn, I missed the calipers. Looks good but I would have gone more agressive look on the tires. Still, looks good.

Looks Good!
I just got the paint to do my calipers tonight (waiting for it to stop raining...)
question for you, do you take them off, or just mask them. The guy at O'Reily's said I could just mask them; but that makes me nervous...
Thanks!
Sharp looking Truck!
