    The wheels are Level 8, MK6 in gun metal grey.

    Thanks!

    Thanks! I was worried about everything clashing, but I think it all works together pretty well.

    I didnt. Since I'm only running 265s I'm not real worried about it... yet. I lost about 1/2" with the bumper. We'll see how much more I lose with the winch. I might be hitting him up for some 1/4" or something. I honestly didnt think the winch was going to happen for a few months, so I really wasnt worried. Hpwever, my quad sold so I had some extra coin. Its going to be busy sunday. My winch should be here by then, I have UCAs and the ECGS bushing to get installed still too.

    Got the winch in last night. Ran out of time to get a bracket built for the on/off switch so it isn't wired yet. I also want to get the fairlead anodized black, just have to find someone to do it.

    Dakars are great, i have them but after about a year and a half of light use they sagged a lot and i had to add a D6XL leaf ti get some height back. If I had yo start over i might choose differently. YMMV

    I'll get it figured out. My dad has hellwig helpers I think, and it doesnt sag, but it doesnt hardly flex either, so I dont want that. When I do springs I would like to do the ATO shackle flip too, but I would need longer shocks... Oh this money pit...
    It was good to see you on Sunday Max, truck still looks good, even with the 285s.:p
