    That road is probably the main reason you talk so much shit. It all makes sense now.

    I just looked at your build thread (awesome truck) and I have a few questions:

    1) How does your truck ride/handle with the lift and how much did you lift it? I love the look of your truck but am wary to lift as I drive a ton so it's not really worth it to lift to sacrifice drivability.
    2) Any issues with chips after removing the mudflaps?
    3) Where did you get those TRD stickers with the NC outline?

    Thanks. I haven't updated it in awhile. I refuse to until sandman buys me a new tailgate...

    1. I lifted it about 3" with the ome 885s plus top plate spacers and it handles great. I have no issues with it whatsoever in regards to how it handles. It feels great. I drive 50 miles a day mostly on 540.

    2. Nothing I've noticed but honestly I haven't really checked lol. I also have a rear bumper now from sos concepts.

    I guess there is no reduction in fuel economy with lifting right? I have already slightly upsized my tires and dont really want to go bigger even with a lift. 265/75R16s.

    What he said. When I had the lift and 265s I barely noticed any difference in mpg but when I went up to 285s it went downhill from there....

    The 2016 tailgate makes me :drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool: but I've heard it's wider than our tailgates. So might just swap the whole bed.

    Switching tail gates sounds like fun however the entire bed sounds real expensive...

    They are longer for sure. I bought my camper shell from a guy with a 16 when he could not fit his old shell on the new truck.
