Platinum transformation finally complete...

Finally, I am happy with my new Plat. Posted a quick photo before but promised some better ones. What do you all think?

Started with adding my Smittybilt Lightbar and PIAA Driving and Offroad lights, K40 Calibre Remote Radar/Diffuser System, and Magnaflow Stainless Steel Dual-Exit Exhaust System, and Linex Bedliner:



Then bumped it up with a BDS 2.5-inch leveling system with Nitto Trail Grappler MTs 295/60R20 (34-inches tall) and Moto Metal 961 Wheels (+18mm Offset, 5.71" BS) with PTM Inserts, along with Front Tint and a Truxedo Low-Pro QT tonneau cover:



Finally got the attitude and altitude I wanted with a new Fabtech 4-inch suspension system and replaced the tonneau cover with a Snugtop XTR topper:

Nice Truck. Thinking about getting a new one myself. They look much better lifted.

Nice work Dawg. Given any thought to the Partial PTM grill mod. I bet that front end would pop with a red surround and plat insert.

Truck looks great but how often do you get new trucks? I don't check here a lot but it seems like every time I do you have a new one. I was about to buy a 2010 when they first came out but unfortunately I lost everything in some bad investments and I haven't been able to get one since. So obviously I'm jealous as hell!

Thanks locster, and I definitely agree with you!

Thanks canadianelbow! Yeah, I keep tossing that idea around but afraid it might be too much red (I really like how that looks on black trucks though).

lol...yeah, I go through a lot of vehicles (this is my 70th something) but I think I am actually keeping this one for awhile as I now want my sports car again at some point in the near future.

Thanks; and yes, I did see something about the 13's being out. So what's your point?

Perfect lift, I think that's what I need for my new fx4. Can you tell us which kit it is?

Great look with the topper!

Thanks Madhouse; the lift is the new Fabtech 4-inch suspension system.
