    If your planning to put 285s or bigger I'd recommend removing your mudflaps as soon as possible so that u aren't left with paint scratches or discoloration when you have to remove them for larger tires.

    Or you could just plan to modify them if it is illegal in CA to remove mudflaps

    Front looks good on the black. I did not like it at first but it is not bad blacked out. I wonder how the approach angle is, better or worse than pre-12.

    Just make sure you seal your paint while its still new. It will protect it from waterspots and bird droping. black is sexy. Glad you went for that color. you have the real black gloss. I wisH i had that black.

    BHLM is a must on this truck. It would look amazing. I would try to stay away from tinting the headlight, will loose some of the brightness of the lights. Just take your time when you do the BHLM, patience is key.:)

    Nice truck, Black is hard to take care of but sure looks good I had a black f-150 that I loved but spent more time waxing it then driving it! Can't wait until my 2012 LB gets here so I can start on it. Going to the off road expo today to get some ideas.
