    Can you tell us about the setup? Looks like you have coilovers and some Light racing upper control arms.... I bet it rides way better than the basic 6inchers.

    Rubs a little, I had a 1" spacer put in the front and it doesn't rub nearly as bad. Hardly rubs at all actually.

    It's the performance system, with dirt logic coilovers and rear dirt logic shocks. Sadly, I'm not as impressed as I'd hoped to be with the shocks quite yet. Riding on the street is fine but taking it on a logging road, it doesn't seem to ride too smooth.

    Rides nice! Off-road isn't vary smooth though. I'm not sure if the suspension just needs to be worne in or what. And as for the rubbing, not much of a problem. Rubbed a bit at first, had a 1" spacer put in and it hardly rubs at all now.

    the rear end is really rough off road right?

    thats cause you have blocks to lift the rear end, if you get new leaf springs it will be way smoother. and put some weight in the bed of your truck and it will make a huge difference!

    I've got the exact same set up on my 12, the front will get smoother after a few hundred miles. Just had to adjust my coil overs to bring them back up after settling...the rears are fairly harsh. Like others said probably due to the blocks. Have not had any weight in my bed since the lift.

    No money, all went to truck...
    did that skid plate some standard? I have an OR too and it has a black skidplate different than that one.

    Soo all you did was paint your rims then?

    Yes the skid plate came with the truck. And those are completely different wheels. They're not painted stock wheels.
