I think it sits nice and level now. I was also wanting to get some ideas on what to do next. I was thinking some bushwacker pocket flares.

Looks great!

seriously tho ditch the steps or get the retractable ones, those are tight.

you could paint your factory heads and fogs too that would give it a really good look, i think darrenws6 did a pretty good write up awhile ago.
i need the steps to get my big butt in the truck

1) Buy VHT nightshades from summitracing - $12
2) BUy clearcoat from hardware store - ~$10
3) take off taillights/3rd brake light, tape off parts that you want to remain untinted (i taped off the clear reverse lights and bed access lights)
4) 2-3 coats of nightshades, leaving 15 minutes between each coat to dry.
5) 2 coats of clear, leaving 30 minutes between coats to dry. You can also lightly wet sand between coats with 2000 grit to get a nice finish.

done!
