Congrats on the baby
That's my problem also I don't really like running board's. My truck had the ugly factory one's installed when I bought it and I took them off the very next day.

25 hp might be a little bit on the conservative side. I thought I would atleast gain 40 hp with that sticker on my truck.

yours seems to sit a little lower though, but still, it sucks to be stretching when putting a carseat in the back...got 3 in mine
Thanks Tylus! My fiancee is 5'4" also so she would have problem's getting out of a lifted truck. Your's does sit a little higher than mine since it's a 4wd.

Id say stick with chrome after seeing that picture, and the difference in the lt handles is they are smooth and the buckets are the same color as the truck, with the chrome handle.

I agree, the chrome seems as if it would look much better than black. Your color is a hard one to blend add-on's with.

I bet it could look pretty good if I PS the taillights dark and crop my headlights on it, PTM bumpers and the bull bar, or bull bar in black. I gotta get to work in a few so I cant do it this moment but tonight i'll try.

Yea it may look better with the light's tinted and the bull bar black. If you can just leave everything chrome with just the head and taillight's tinted.

You work at a tire and wheel dealer? If so let me know where my fiancee has a doctor's appointment at Glenwood friday so maybe I could stop by and look around see what you have available. Thanks Jditta!
