    Got rid of my 2.75 inch spacers up front and the one inch blocks in the back. Put OME 885s up front with Bilsteins @ 0 and Skyjacker leafs in the back with the bilsteins as well. Truck sits about the same up front and a little higher in back it seems. I wish I would have measured but I was too excited to get them installed. Truck rides great now. I did the install all by myself with the method from the no spring compressor video and it went very smooth. Took me about four hours. Getting it aligned tomorrow. Last pic is before with the Readylift.

    Looks good, brother!

    I spent this afternoon derping the badges. No pic needed I'm sure we've all seen 'em. So much better than chrome though. Wasn't sure if it would be too humid or not, but it went well, and they came out perfect. :)

    Sweet. I thought about doing this to mine too. I really want to do the rear bumper and front grill though. I think the chrome looks weird with the white. Probably give it a shot sometime next week.

    I'm going to do my wheels and rear bumper for sure. Will probably wait for the weather to dry up a bit though.

    Got a brand new bumper off a truck at work today. A 2012 came in with some small scratches on the bumper. We threw a brand new one on and before I tossed the old one I took some polish to the scratches. Came off super easily so I have a basically brand new mint bumper to throw on to replace my old beat up one for free. So stoked :D

    Pretty much... The 15k service was mainly just inspecting things, tire rotation, new oil & filter. I know they rotated the tires. Have to check the oil & filter

    Too much, thanks TW.
    I finally did the Sylvania 894 reverse light bulbs mod today. Freaking awesome amount of light! Why did I wait so long to do this!?!?
    Thanks TW. I read the entire 886 mod thread and decided on the 894 bulbs. Playing it safe but still so much better than stock. :D
