Truck is juuuust the way I want it now. (pic)

Well......for now anyway.

Started with tires, then got a camper shell with rack for camping/kayaking, then Plasti-dipped all the badges as well as the front grille and rear bumper. I recently added 884 springs, a 1.5" AAL and 5100 Bilsteins all around. That's it.....I am DONE. Nothing you jerks can say will make me spend any more time and money on this thing.

 

Looks nice! Making it the way YOU want it should be the goal

 

Long travel?

 

....but that should definitely be "Plan B" lol

 

Looks nice and clean. But... Maybe some step bars or sliders. Ya know, for the ladies.

 

Tint the two front windows, then you're done.

 

I think it needs a snorkel!

 

The ladies that are worth keeping are the ones that will hike up their skirt and jump in!

 

Yeah, the pics make it look like they're not tinted, but it was the sun shining through. I tinted them as far as the local PD will tolerate.

 

True true. My wife is 5 foot. I've been through three different types of step bars for my truck until I found some she liked. Ended up with flat OEM style steps.

 

The girl I date is just over 5' tall, and she has yet to get in my truck since the 2" lift. LOL, we will see how she fares.

 

how is the interior?

 

Wet Okole TRD seat covers, but otherwise stock. *shrug*

 

Sweet looking truck. Now you just need sliders and skids and you're done!..... And LED bar, and tailgate reinforcement, and seat covers, and dash cams to capture your adventures, and............................

 

Looks good. I am leaning toward the exact same lift. If you don't mind, I have a couple of questions:

- Do you have the stock 4 leaf pack and if so, did you leave the overload in when adding the 1.5 AAL?

- Did you maintain the factory rake with that setup?

- What size tires are you running?

​

 

1) Yes, stock leafs, and yes, I left the Overload in.

2) Well, the 884s gave me 2" up front, and with the weight of the camper shell, I think the 1.5" AAL just about evens out the back with the front.

3) I have KO2 tires on stock 16" wheels. The E-load tires are overkill for our trucks, but dammit, I wanted them. Would have gotten C-load KO2 if BFG made them for 16" wheels, but nope.

 

How do the KO2 tires ride?

 

I've heard each of the following:

1) thanks to their weight and size, they ride smoother than stock, as long as the pressure is right.

2) they are harsh!

I can't say that my ass is tender enough to tell a difference at all. The road noise is a little more than stock, and the MPGs went down one or two, but I expected both of those.

 

You need the @Up2NoGood heated mirror mod

 

Had to scrape it a few times this past winter..............
