    Would black powder coat on my rims be a good choice? or not so much?

    Yeah. I've always loved black rims, but i dont know if my rims would look good black cause i have seen some black rims that just look like crap. but the other day they were covered in mud and if i looked at them at a certain angle they looked black and looked pretty sweet. so ill do that sometime but its hard to find anybody around here that will do black powder coating

    A 4x4 conversion is not easy at all.

    Here is where you can start.

    heres some helpful criticism either run one square L5 or the kicker comp. Dont mix a square and a circle sub. Ditch the cap it doesnt do anything helpful 90% of the time. Is your remote wired to your battery, just wire it to your deck so your amp will only turn on when your deck is on.

    You only need one aal and the toytec kit comes with it unless you order the blocks which would be a mistake.

    My remote wire is wired to my deck and then to a switch so i can have my subs on and off whenever i want. My lights would dim when i turn it up so i added my cap and my lights dont dim anymore. I have 2 L5's and one CVR. they sound really good and hit extremely hard. the vibration makes my rear view mirror go all the way down. it annoys the heck out of me

    Then this is what i will be ordering

    Front coil options: 883 coils
    Front top plate spacers: no top plate spacer
    Rear lift options: Toytec 2 inch lift add a leaf
    Rear shocks: 60062 (normal valving)
    Front diff drop kit: no front diff drop kit
    Front shock Assembly: unnasembled

    Sound Good?

    Not yet. This summer I am though. I already have the money saved up and everything. I just have to find the time to go without a truck for a little bit and with school I have to drive everyday. So the summer is the best time to do it
