As much as I'm gonna get disagreed with, I kind think it looks a little cleaner this way because it doesn't hang down so low compared to the rest of the body...but it would look better with at least the expy valance so you could get some fogs down there

Or if you like the Street Scene L valance, there's one of those for sale in DFW on CL for $150 I think. Looks like it doesn't hang quite as low as the STX valance.

It's an optical illusion. Looks like it hangs down about the same amount, just the lowest part is closer to the tire for better approach angle. (can you use the term approach angle when talking about slammed trucks?)

Eventually you will just rub a hole in it like I did mine.

yea i was getting tired of hearing it rub tho, so out they came

I may modify them a little and put them back in because i would still like to seal the engine bay off a little from the fender wells, but havent done anything with them yet

Work looks good man. Guess this means we will never see Fiddy in a mud pit again like a couple years ago?

I want to see you parked next to Josh ( mhockey )'s truck . 12" Rize, 3" body, 2" level. And those are 37s

Truck looks damn good man. Is it just the camera or is your bed sitting funny in that speed bump picture?
