    It looks like you are running the OEM lugs with those wheels. That is the wrong kind of lug for those wheels. I would not recommend driving it like that. They may have damaged your wheels with those if they are not the acorn style lugs. FYI but you better look into it.

    Do you mind taking a measurement of the front for both driver and passenger side? I want to eventually get 5100 shocks in my truck to replace my aging coilovers but wanted to make sure the setting I have them at now will match the 1.75" preset on the 5100 shocks. How did you take care of the lean from the driver side?

    the lug nuts and locks are from Wheeler's and I have 30K on them with no problems

    GotLift37, I really thought about the front mud flaps last night. Anyone know if the amount of crap flung on the side of my truck after removal is that much greater?

    LanNinja. are looking for ground to fender distance? Even before the install, I didn;t have any noticeable distance between driver and pass measurements. Maybe a 1/8-1/4 in tops. I probably have about .50-.75in front rake now.

    Yes ground to fender please. I can compare your measurement to mine since we have the same size tires. Thanks!

    I like it but I am looking for a little more robust sound. The Gibson sound is too quiet. I'll probably swap the muffler out for a Flowmaster.

    kws129: TRD emblem is from eBay

    mjp: not a member of SCORE...had sponsorship with Cabo Wabo/Sammy Hagar F-150 Trophy truck in the Baja 1K several years back. I'll have to dig up a picture of that truck and post...great paint job. We only did it for the booze/girls. Money well spent!

    BTW...anyone looking for the SCORE decal or any custom TRD decal...I gotta a guy that does awesome work with a quick turn. That decal is reflective and awesome quality. He'll do any color combination w/ reflective tapes. Lemme know and I'll post up his email address and website w/ some pics. I think that decal cost me $18 and it'll last years.
