    What did you use to coat the fenders? Is the grill and bumper coated the same way? Nice Job.

    Things and stuff and such
    It looks good, but I think you should have cut the bottom of the grill guard off just above the shackles so you have better approach angle. It looks like the lower part could get bent up if your not careful when using the shackles for pulls. It looks cool though, good job.

    No the final exposed thread was about 2" showing. This gave me about 2" of lift, but I also have a very heavy aftermarket bumper and winch. Pic of exposed threads:

    Thank you, thank you. Ill be home sometime next month hopefully. How much does that bad boy weigh? i have the allpro i know that things solid and my winch is a 12.5k and weights about 100lbs so you have to have alot of weight upfront.

    I never actually got the weight of the front bumper after it was finished. I suppose I could add up the weights of the All-Pro, the Steelcraft, and the Warn 8000 and be pretty close. I know it's around 250 lbs.

    I did weight the whole truck after I was done modding . . . 5000 lbs even.
