    Either mid or long but that will be a while before I can do that so in the mean time, I will throw a spacer in the front & get the bigger tires & new wheels & regear. When I can finally afford it, then I will do the travel kit. I'll pick up peice by peice. Once I get all the parts set aside, I'll tackle the job in the garage.

    Are you 6 lug? If so, I'd get the bilsteins. Its not that much extra and they are WAAAAAY softer than a spacer.

    It's a work in progress. It does look a bit off right now, but will be lifting & bigger tires & different wheels hopefully soon. For now though, Los Angeles traffic is a bit easier to deal with. People see me coming up behind them & they move over for me. :D

    This was special built for the 2012 but will fit 5 or 6 lug.

    BTW... Thanks for the props on the truck. I am proud of it. It's still a work in progress though. Long way to go on it. 5 kids, 1 grandkid & a stay at home wife makes it a bit difficult to put money in to it sometimes but it will eventually come together. Thanks again

    Btw, the bar is from G and G lighting. Only costs 200 bones for a 15"bar.

    More stuff done to my ride. Yesterday installed the 2.75" front spacer lift. Just a temp. lift till I can do a proper system. Also, forgot to post pics of my bicycle mount in the bed of the truck.
