Well, got some of my stuff back from powder coating today. I liked the silver on the RIZE kit, but I have a silver truck. It would have been way to much silver for me. Plus I want to be a little different. So I got everthing coated in black. I am still waiting on all the crossmembers though. They should be done tomorrow. Here is a quick shot of the control arm support strut....

 

looks great i cant wait to see it on the truck!!!

 

that is awesome man.....i was going to do mine in red but....so expensive...and wouldnt look good with my tan trim

 

top of the line. im green with envy. your gonna have yourself a heck of a truck.

 

I thought that someone said painting the kit would void the warranty? Anyways it looks much better black, IMO.

 

x2 looks awesome!!! whats your wheel and tire set up?

 

Thanks for the kind words. I hope the truck turrns out the way I had planned. It would be done if my leaf springs were here. Oh well, custom stuff means more time and $$. Both of which are in short supply as of late.LOL

 

When I called RIZE they said " yup, no warranty if you modify it in any way". Oh well, it looks well built. I doubt there will be any issues. Fingers crossed.

 

That's gonna look good. I can't believe Rize voids a warranty due to paint.

 

Thanks. My wheels/tires were my compromised items. I was going to run Racline wheels with boggers, but this truck is going to be used for work and fun. I couldn't see running $2k wheels that will be submerged in mud.That and dealing with the vibration from the boggers. So after alot of debate with the GF and other friends, I decided to get some Pro Comp 6089 wheels with Goodyear MT/R tires. I still may pick up the Raceline / bogger combo for shows. Who knows?

 

are the MT's 37's? i dont think they come in 38'sdo they?

i dont care if you "compromised" thats a NICE tire wheel setup.
i compromized on my tires...but i love them...they look SICK.

 

The 6089 are awesome, thats what I have on mine and have recieved many compliments....nice choice.

norm

 

Sweet! I can't wait to see some pics.

 

Yup they are 37's. The MT/R's have limited sizing .No 38's. They do come in a 40x13.25x17.

I use the word "compromised" very losely. I am happy with all the choices I have made thus far.

 

Picked up the rest of my lift kit today. It looks sweet. I am so jacked.

Here is the front crossmember....
