new stance

hey yall whats up. I just got my new 4" block and 1.5" aal installed. I took out the factory and pro comp 2.5" block.







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 good, not a big fan of flares but some amp steps would clean it up very nicely

Looks great, Cheap Install. I like the tire/rim combo, the amount of sidewall makes the tires look "meaty" I guess would be the word.

looks great

i wouldnt get the flares , i think fender flares ruin the look of a lifted truck

x2 on the amp steps

the amount of money you would spend on painted bushwackers would prolly be the same cost as the amp steps

Looks great! I too vote against pocket style flares. Keep it how it is, looks great.

Take off your bugshield.

Take off the steps.

Tint your tailights/3rd brake light.

Doing those 3 things will make it look twice as badass and it will cost all of 20 bucks.

do you have a write up on how to tint the lights and do you have any pics? I might play around with bug shield this weekend and see how it looks.

i agree on ditching the bug guard, and if youre young why do you need steps

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.

To tint the third brake light and or your tails, just take them off and get a can or two of night shades tint (rattle can) paint in on to how dark you want them and the clear it, I think there is two coats on my third brake light and 3 on me tails, but i painted to match most of my tails and them masked off an area straight in the back and just tinted, I can get some pics if you would like
