    Finally upgraded the grille! Ordered off Amazon for $130 and it actually seemed to be a well made part. It does have the mount for the TSS. Installation was a breeze....just watch the YouTube videos.E7B78D66-02CB-4472-A13F-A39F0A99CC2E.jpg

    Thanks a lot! Good to hear since I’m always so self-conscious of my trucks.

    Is the lift only for the front, or is it 2" in the front, and 1" in the rear. It's honestly one of the better looking trucks on here.

    So I put the 2” spacer on the front initially, but it was about an inch higher in the front than the back, so it squatted a bit. I put the 1” block on to fix the squat. Sits pretty level now...very very slight rake to the front but barely noticeable.

    You got lucky, first one I received had the removable piece for tss but wasn’t molded to actually mount tss. Getting the run around on return. Ordered another one though so hopefully the second one is right. Different vendor though this time.

    Haha I know how that goes man I was there before! I had it done at an Off Road shop near my house so I don’t have the exact link. Go on Rough Country’s website and search for your vehicle. It should take you right to it. I think they’re pretty reasonable price.

    Not to be negative, but if you are self conscious why did you go super cheap and get a rough country spacer lift? Literally the quickest way to damage suspension components

    It’s personal preference and what you do with your truck. I’ve had spacers/blocks on 4 different trucks and I never had any suspension issues on any of them. If I was into Off Roading, I would have put upgraded shocks, etc. but for all I do, spacers work fine for me.
