just got off the phone with local 4x4 shop

Rancho installed $3000
Procomp S1 installed $1900
3" body lift installed $950 ( seems like the right move)

also is there anything wrong with just using the bulbs that come with the hella grille ??
i see a bunch of you have upgraged.. but for me im not into the whole light show thing

I corrected if for you! Im just messing though its your truck. I just think you would be happyer with a suspsension lift vs. a body lift. 6" + 2" spacer = 8" of lift vs. 3" of body...

do yall thhink its worth the extra money to get 20's and new tires?? or just save the money and get new 18's for my tires i have now? were talking $3000 bucks more!!!

ok so i ordered my black Procomp 7005's , sad to say they are National Backorder! 4wheelparts said Procomp will take 4-6 weeks to produce more..thats ok though,, itll give me time to get my lift,grille,etc...

Krusedisc you must be busy at work stilll im guessing ?

question for u guys,,, should i go white letters out or Black with the black 7005's?? i cant decide which would look better..
i also went with black lugnuts.. but i can switch back to chrome if i want.. which of these do u think will look better as weell... thanks

To answer the above question...black wall out would look much better on a dark blue truck. Thats not my opinion, thats just the way it is...lol.

ANYWAY............heres what I managed to put together for ya. I was having a lot of trouble getting the combination of wheels, tires and lift to work. So I hope you are happy with how it looks. I got the flares painted in gloss black, the mirror is ptm your truck, fogs are tinted. AND now your truck has a 6" procomp lift and the procomp wheels, but somewhere in there you ended up with Toyo tires.

Again, hope it helps you out man!

True that on the turning...wouldnt that be great though?!
Those are 20's with 35's
and the heads are Hellas.
I would have really liked to get it looking a bit more REAL, but the angles of the pics just werent quite right and without spending hours, thats the best I could pull off.

like i said before, black it out! i wouldnt do that painted black flares though, If you paint um get dark blue, if not painted leave the Stock FX4's on. Also if your doing black out i would not paint the whole mirror, only black trucks can pull off having the whole mirror painted, just do some skull caps and it will look great, plus keep some black in there and the "flow" of the windows. Id do some painted door handles and call it good! that should leave a very good looking balance of blue and black.
