    AFe Rebel Catback Exhaust, AFe GT Momentum Air Intake, Method Wheels, Bilstein 5100, Rigid 30" SR2 Light Bar, Rigid 10" SR Light Bar. Lots of Love
    I would look elsewhere; if I ever saw that truck I would think that its been done up cheaply; Bodylift + 6" cheap procomp lift? I've seen it too many times before; so many shops showcasing a truck; but its got a hacked up lift with thick spacer lifts. It makes me feel like shops are being cheap and that's usually the statement I get from them. Just a personal opinion so don't mind me.

    That is a nice truck; I would however at least dump the body lift.

    Haha no not at all, just figured it's a great looking truck that feeds my forced induction need that can show off my lighting mods :)

    Well we specialize in lighting, honestly not going to try to sell lifts or anything like that. I was upset when I saw the body lift :(

    I'm more drawn to the 4x4 low miles and supercharged hehe

    Exactly why you should get it haha! I thought when I found mine with only 70k on it I was lucky, but what you found is like a brand new truck.

    Looks fine. I'd personally dump the 3" body lift. I know the appeal is the supercharger and lift but what is the point of a supercharger if your center of gravity is roughly 9" higher than stock?

    But I also know adding a magnuson supercharger aftermarket is going to be a good bit of $$$. And you had said this one is the TRD installed at the dealer.

    You like it, just buy it. Have your accountant do an accelerated depreciation on it to help with the negative equity part if that is of concern.

    OP to accountant, "well, you see it's like this. I asked on TW if I should buy a $26,000 supercharged truck for my business. The overall consensus was that I should, and that I should also buy a Donzi to pull behind it. So, I spent $55,000 and we are selling lots of lights."

    New company slogan, "Lights so bright you can't outdrive them with a Donzi".

    Was also looking for pricing cause like I mentioned in Cali pricing is inflated and wanted to see what everyone was paying or seeing them sell for

    Kinda answered that also with the Cali pricing being higher those of us living in other areas kinda have no comparible refference. It seems like a really nice truck with low miles and you like it and the mods that have been done seems like a winner to me

    Part of what you need to look at also is that's probably a fairly rare truck in California. DCLB trucks are fairly rare. California has a much higher percentage of 2wd trucks than states with mud. Then you add the lift, supercharger, matching canopy, TRD, and low miles.
