Truck's Goal - Thoughts?

Here's my rough goal - over the next couple years (Didn't really show a lift at all - but I've got 265/75's, Billy's at 1.75 and TSB AAL right now:



Here is how she sits now:



I just wanted to get thoughts on my goal build and any wise advice, additions etc. (Besides saving the money!)

Additions for the plan:
Avid Weld-On Sliders (On the way)
Trim 3" from fender flares / OR Bedliner on outer 3" (Thoughts?)
ARB Front Bumper (2nd Gen)
2-3 Lightforce 240 Blitz lights (Depending on fitment on the bumper)
OME 3" with 886 springs & 285/75/16 Duratracs
CBI High Clearance Rear Bumper with Tire & Fuel Carriers
Full skid set (Brand suggestions?)

 

Looks like a solid start! Go for it

 

I think blitz are bigger than that.........those look genesis size

2 Genesis
....



4 240's

 

For skids I would go Bud Built all the way. CBI will treat you right. The 886 may be a little stiff with just the bumper so get a winch or skids with those. Give them about a month to settle with the extra weight.

 

Thanks for the advice man. I plan on having both skids and a winch, so that's why I decided to go with 886s. Don't want to strain 885s. I'll look into Bud Built.

 

Are you going to move up to a bigger tire?

 

It is personal preference, and I am usually a huge fan of ARB, but I don't think their
bumper goes with the lines of our trucks. The many plate-style options are much more
flattering, IMO, and cheaper to boot!- Relentless, ATO, Demello, etc.

Great looking truck though! I'm just nitpicking!

 

I plan to, but I just got the Duratracs, so I'll run them until they're dead, then move up to 285's.

I appreciate the comment. I am also a fan of the AP bumper, minus their new style of headlight guards. The decision is a ways off, so I'm going to continue doing my homework on it.

 

Brute force bumper. And if all you're going with is billies set at 1.75 you don't need to trim your fenders like that. Unless I misread and you're putting 35's.

 

I'll go take a look at Brute Force. I am planning on having an OME 3" and eventually, 285's. I also want to minimize trail damage to the fenders and give the tires more clearance at full flex.

 

Which you can totally do and still not cut the fenders up. I'm not cutting fenders and will be running 35's on a 3.5" lift. It's all in how you set it up.

 

Looks like a good start. Although personally I'm not a fan of the ARB bumper on these trucks. Just my opinion though. If I were to ever get an aftermarket bumper it would probably be a Demello. But I don't see myself dropping that coin on a new bumper.

 

Sounds good. I'll keep that in mind. I also like the look of the thinner fender flares as well, which might play into my eventual decision.

I also checked out Brute Force. That might be the winner for me. I really like the style of it and especially the price. That's much easier to muster than the ARB, Demello, etc. Thanks for the head's up!

 

Absolutely! Keep in mind the Demello uses the thinnest steel of all the aftermarket options. I do like the look of them though.

 

I like the idea of the 4 lightforces

 

I don't like the headlight guards that everyone seems to have started adding on either. The center grill guard/light mount is ok, but the big hoops look tacky IMO.

I'd forgotten about them, but the BFF bumper is an awesome choice!

 

holly shit let there be light!!!! Night shots are required

 

I'm not a fan of the light guards either so that's why I got my CBI with no top tubing.

 

Very sharp looking man. I'm definitely going with CBI for my rear bumper.
