    6" is dope as fuck if you do it right, like Neil for instance.

    Mid travel is cool if less lift is more of your style. I really want 3" and 35s. I just don't want to go hacking, or drop a bunch of money just to run bigger tires. My set up was pricey, yes, but it rides amazing for a mid sized truck. It also rides exceptionally well off road. I really tried to flex it out as much as I was comfortable with this weekend.. Without ripping off the bumper. A bumper seems like more of a necessity at this point compared to going onto 35s to achieve more clearance. The last thing I'll say that if you do decide to go mid travel.. Don't do 5100s/Coils and then upgrade.. It's a hassle imho, save and do it right the first time so you are satisfied. The only thing I can see myself doing is either cranking my coilovers up a little more since they've settled, or going for a 14" spring when I do get some type of bumper set up.

    Neil thanks for the compliments bud! I love your truck dude. Mine's coming along. Kinda on a break right now. Probably some more small mods to come.

    No I don't.. I enjoy loud. Holy shit though, this thing was bitchin.. So much drone. I enjoy a more subtle truck sound and can't compliment the Spinach enough.

    I'd throw in some dually's for fogs. Even a 30" light bar would look great in the bumper

    Hahaha yeah, I haven't had any "spare" time. Been going 7 days a week lately. I know you and a few other guys have been asking. The only thing I could do is share the dimensions I have and ya'll could have them cut? Or it would at least give ya'll an idea to go off of?

    That may work. I was thinking some dually's on the hood brackets. How could I mount some lights in the bed corners?

    The hood brackets look good too! I was wanting to build a set of those also. Really easy to do if you mount them where the bracket meets the hood. Hit up 4xinnovations for tabs to mount lights in the bed
