    Orange is fucking hideous. Pumpkins would look better if they weren't fucking orange.

    And I'm only doing 1/2" in front to "level" for now. When I meet a sugar momma, I might get a real lift :)

    This is one of the only mods that I got someone else to do. Between making sure that the parts worked together, cutting the bowls, getting the projectors lined up straight and level, and getting them sealed back up, I gladly paid someone the extra couple hundred for the labor needed.

    I'm a fan of orange, but only the right shade and in certain situations.

    I was leaning hard that way at first, but then maths took over.

    I'm looking at like $600 to have someone else do it but, the kit from TRS is only like $120. I have the headlights, and one of them is already apart from when I was dicking around with this idea back a couple years ago. they really only need painted...lol.

    Nah man. Once Jr. gets here, you'll have some costs and shit that will put it off, but you'll get back to square. However, your truck already looks really good, maybe its just the photographers skill though...

    I know, but closer to it. I just think it's odd that front spacers translate to double their actual thickness. My 1/2" spacer will almost give 1" more 'lift'

    I did not know that.


    Still, the real goal for my truck when I started modding it was to make it sit better, ride better and add a few touches that made it mine.


    I missed the mark on one of those, and it kinda eats me up inside every time I drive it. I want it to ride better. I need ADS and hydro steering....lol.


    *** Note ***

    I'm sure if I had a nice plate bumper on the front, the ride would be improved........grrrrrrr

    Not trying to talk you out of it, just saying, for me, the additional 200-300 for someone's labor and advice was worth my paying. I had a set of OEMs that I sent him to use and then the TRS prices were the same for me or him, so delta was just labor. Yes, still expensive, but I'd messed with the BHLM and aftermarkets before and was not happy. I deserve to be happy!! :D

    I'm happy with where I was able to get it to. I spent a decent amount of money on it in the first 18 months, and a little here and there. I'd like a bed rack and a RTT, but I would need time off of work to justify the cost. No point in having it if I cant use it!
