    Put in the pro grill and painted the letters white. Can't decide which grill I like better...

    Oh ya, I agree. I was thinking about doing it but all those crevices might be a massive headache. I'll probably end up taking it in and having someone else paint match it.

    So many crevices. :annoyed:

    You’ll need the pro grill for raptor lights. I’m not pushing them mind you but it does seem to obscure what’s behind it more.

    I received my Deaver U402 stage 1 springs Friday after a 7 week wait, and installed them Sunday morning.
    I ended up with 25" hub to fender on passenger rear and 24-3/4" on driver rear, which is an inch taller than the worn All-Pro Expos they replaced. I imagine they will settle a bit.
    DCLB with a Leer shell and maybe 100 lbs in the bed. My rear weight is between 2,350-2,450#. Initial review is they are amazing. I got the lift I wanted and the comfort. They are very noticeably softer over potholes and speedbumps than OEM, OEM+AAL, Medium Dakars, and All-Pro Expo. I'll update if anything changes with some miles on them.

    Noice!

    I am planning to do this to my truck at some point in its life. I have so many rock dings in the paint all over that its bound to rust eventually. My paint chips just looking at it. Getting real tired of filling the chips and have been eyeing some sort of liner to coat it in.

    Been waiting a long time to get those in!

    Noticed my sway bar is blown on one side, shopping around for linkages and probably adding a drop kit to it as well. And new bushings.

    Did you modify the sport gas straps to work, or replace with off road gas tank straps? Looks like you didnt use the front straps mounting points, still sturdy?
