Looks nice, those lights and grill are sweet! Gives it a menacing look.

Thanks guys. I will have to do the next phase all at once too. My next phase is 295/70/17 Nitto TG's, bull bar and nerf bars. My wife can't get in it as it sits. She has leg muscle problems and it gives her hell with stairs, let alone my truck.

I got the grill brand new and only cleaned with spray rubbing alcohol. I used Krylon Fusion Satin Black. There is about 6 thin coats on it. Not too thick. it actually seems to be pretty resistant to nicks and dings. I drove it around yesterday, close to home since its not aligned yet. Some freeway driving but only a couple of miles. So far, no damage. I scuffed it pretty good installing it but was able to touch it up.

I followed the directions on the can of Fusion. In retrospect, I wish I had scuffed the chrome up. if it starts getting nicks in it I will take it off and sand it down.

LOL!! We went to eat last night with our church and my wife was telling everyone about me raising it up. She complains but I know she loves it! I should surprise her with a 6" Pro-Comp lift! LOL
