    Yeah, definitely looks high in the front to me. I have exactly zero experience with lifting or leveling, but don't you guys usually put a little mark on the fender, centered on the wheel, and measure the distance from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender?

    So I came across some free wood recently and decided to put it to good use. I cut it to size, added some supports, and put a 2x6 up front for a headache rack. I used some scrap aluminum and made some brackets, painted it all black, and bolted it on. Total funds invested: roughly $40, plus my time.
    Looking for some honest feedback, how does it look? Don't worry about hurting my feelings, I want to know what you think.

    If I decide I like it, I'll buy a few tie down anchors to bolt on it for loading gear on top for some weekend adventures.

    Looks pretty good. If it were me, I would add another board front to back in the middle for symmetry and maybe round the egdes.

    I dig it. Could try bedlining it if you plan on sticking with it. Would help ensure that any cargo on top wouldnt be slipping anywhere.

    Looks good, only downside would be trapped water in the two sections on top possibly leaking down into the bed or eventually deteriorating the wood.
