    Mama approves! SHE wants sliders more so than myself (for entry purposes) and she's all for the skid plates!

    Yeah, my kids have been standing on my new sliders! They have been telling me for years about these things they see on other trucks... that you can put your your foot on to get in... I was worried they would say step bars or running boards next!

    Skid plates is your department ATM.
    I'm pretty sure that template I printed off is sitting in my garage waiting for you to make sure my holes are not off by 6" ( give or take... :eek::D)

    Tanks for the help with the test fit last night @Canoehead, Things look good, I'm going to bun in the drivers side and start working on the passenger. I think I've got the secret sauce all figured out!

    887, or 886?

    same price either way, I am sure.

    So I know my AAL's are not everyone's cup of tea, but the Dakar leaf's would have easily doubled the price of the lift. I took a good look at what I actually use my truck for, and the AAL's should work OK for me

    Bilstein 6112 $945
    650lb springs $252
    Bilstein 5160 x2 (because god forbid they sell them as a pair) $704
    OME Dakars $792
    w/ D29XLs (since they haven't got the memo of ARBs new name for those) $156

    Funny you mention Robin Hood, I messaged the business before Christmas, then I facebooked him (Tim) a week later and haven't got a Hi, Bye, Kiss My Ass, I got nothing from him, so I got ahold of TDot

    I could go with 5100s all around and just get an 885 spring for now, the Dakars and AAL I NEED those, 5100s are much, much cheaper

    That's a heavy ass light bar if you bought one to replace the one you're selling.

    I'm guessing roof rack
