    Cooper Discover STT tires 285/70/R17 (33s) Procomp 7032 matte black wheels 17x9 -6 offset. Front lift: Bilstein 5100 Adjustable Shocks set at 0. OME 885x coils. Rear lift: Bilstein 5100 shocks. 1.5 inch 3 leaf progressive. I still have stock UCAs but plan on getting aftermarket ones later. I ordered the shocks and coils from headstrong offroad and the 1.5 inch 3 leaf progressive from Wheelers Offroad. 50" Radius Light bar (From Sidetracked Offroad) Mounts from Relentless Fabrication.
    Decided to plasti dip the chrome around the grille. Looks so much better !

    Looks good man! I'm not a fan of chrome either so I've done a lot of blacking out with the plastidip on mine as well. How man coats did you use?

    I'm waiting for their primer to come in. I could find Plasti Dip everywhere, but, after reading their website, I was worried about using it without the primer. I ordered it through Amazon, but it's filled by an affiliate. I think they're sending it via burro...

    I actually did plasti dip my front grill surround last week, pulled it off the next day. This week I installed a color matched grill, much happier now.
