    Yup but it's heavy as a MOFO! Probably too much body filler :notsure:

    Alright! Small update!
    The DTF kit is trickling in now, have about half of it but still missing 1-2 boxes. Guy at the post office had a "funny story" of his coworker not being able to lift the box so she left it in a crate that got returned to the last distribution center.. says it will be here in 4-5 days lol

    Good news is I got a bunch of the other parts and I get to admire them for a week or two. They're a lot bigger than expected but that's good. Kings coilovers look good! Here's a pic with a dip can for reference size since they're pretty standard lol

    Will be taking half the parts to get powder coated next week probably and the rest whenever they get here. Anybody have a color recommendation?

    Not my truck just extending the front bumper to match the glass. Not sure but I think it was Tenorio auto body. They didn't do a good job in my opinion. A lot of the screws they used to hold the fiberglass are coming out by hand so we may make some new mounts to secure the glass

    IMG_1413.jpg IMG_1421.jpg IMG_1417.jpg Front install is all completed! Everything is mounted and next step is reinforcing everything so won't be doing anything too crazy until then! Also need to get the new bumps installed until I move a bypass up front with it.
    Here's so pics of it from night time I'll get better ones soon once it's all clean!
    Let me know what you think about the blue powder coat, it's a gritty, no shine type that matches the king coils better in person and thought it'd add a little to the kit!

    Good point! I usually go under the UCA for that reason. @Bobby18 be sure to check with your installer if they double checked clearance.

    I didn't install it. @anthony250f
