perfect man just perfect now for the PTM handles and mirrors. i dont understand why people like the fx2 valance on a lifed 4wd truck?? it looks out of place in my opinion. but awesome truck man truly one of a kind!

ohh and on a side note how do u like those procomp ATs with 33x55x20? those were the tires i wanted to get this time last year but they didn't have them available that size yet. so i went with the toyo MTs. but i am thinking about switching over to those procomps in the summer and i was interested on how your first impressions of the tires are?

I agree with the rest.. the FX2 valence on lifted trucks does look really outta place, but the PTM bumpers look great on your truck.

You could always just paint the side steps black yourself if ya wanted to save a little cash. I did mine with Duplicolor wheel paint. I think they even have a dark grey, that would look really cool (ptm steps!). It looks like you might already have a little experience with it, considering your wheels are painted.

If you're going for a ptm/blackout look, maybe you could even paint whats left of the silver on your wheels black, have a nice dsg/black wheel. Order some new oval decals in dsg/black, and dsg inlays. Just some food for thought..

either way, your truck looks cool!

Personally I like the fx2 valance. But if you are not going to use it I wouldn't see where running boards would fit the truck? Personally I have never seen a set of running boards that have ever looked good.

Nice switch.

The FX2 valance looks good on stock height or lowered trucks. Leveled or lifted trucks, not so much.
