    Did the deckplate mod today! Can't say i notice much of a differance...not at all really actually. Gonna get a new filter tommorrow tho as that is needed.

    First rough hole

    then after a lot of filing

    was really easy. Took like 30mins.

    Also my new 10'' 5150s shoulda shipped today i hope. Been riding around with out shocks lately lol Not that the ride is too bad actually...

    Getting a magnaflow exhaust setup on the 17th too! :woot:

    Your truck looks great man! I'm in the same boat as you with the small tires. I just bought a set of 31x10.5s about a year ago and now they look small...But the spacers definatly helped. Anyways how do the Eibach coils ride? Im curently riding on my stock coils just compressed with the bilstiens and have been debating getting the Eibachs to smoothen out the ride.

    Thanks man! its coming along for sure.

    And the wheel spacers helped a ton! im really not in a hurry anymore to get taller tires now. And when i do get new tires i dont think ill get 12.5'' wide ones. Looks plenty bad ass with these 10.5'' and the spacers. So i think ill end up with 33x10.5s most likely...but not for a long while, prolly run these tires into the ground first lol

    And i love the Eibachs. They are much better then what i had. Funny story, i finally got my original pair i ordered from ECT today...so now i have an extra set..sheesh..But yea man they are great! Make sure to get a diff drop kit tho too as they can be bad for the CV axles. I imagine they will settle a bit more too especially once i have the Elite bumper on.

    Installed my 10'' 5150s today. nice to have shocks again. Now i need a brake cable pretty bad and i think i need bigger bump stops.

    You can defiantly see they are bigger

    no they dont! there is one in my town with them and it looks good. If done right it looks great. My dad has duals on his 08 taco and it looks BAD ASS. Granted thats a 2nd gen...but there is a first gen here..and it looks good. We have a really good exhaust guy. But im more then happy now after a few days of driving with it.
