    Hey sweet looking truck!
    I'm thinking the same Predator front and wrap around rear that you've got, great taste in armor!!

    Any regrets with not getting a swingout or you’re okay with it?

    How was working with Relentless?

    Eh, I dont mind not having a swing out. I guess its all about how you intend to use your truck.

    And working with relentless was alright, when I ordered it took about 9 months to get to me... But that may be different now as that was awhile ago when I did order. Other than that the communication was good. Nothing super negative other than the wait times.

    True. I guess it’s convenient once in a blue moon when you need to change our tire or if you really get into some shitty stuff that would rub on your spare underneath.

    I think they have like 12-16 week wait times but nothing like 9 months. Was that the predicted wait time back then or just things kept popping up?

    I believe when I ordered mine it was supposed to be around 5-6 months. Then just got pushed back a bunch.

    Some use the swing out if they have spare that doesn’t fit in the stock location or maybe they boxed the rear frame or done a shock relocation, but still need the bed space for cargo on trips.

    Awesome truck. You still on here still have your truck? I'd love to hear what that aro exhaust sounds like.

    Still on here, still have the truck just don't post as much. The aero is alright. Honestly I would just keep it stock of I were to do it again. To me it's not worth the upgrade to make the exhaust louder. No fuel or hp gains if your looking for that or if there is it's definitely not noticable.

    I was more interested in the cat back kit that has a turndown in front of the axle. I know there's no other gain from it.

    How are the retrofits holding up??
    Do you still go wheeling?

    Retrofits have been flawless minus the halos which I wouldn't do again. Definitely one of my favorite upgrades and they still work like new. Still on the original bulbs.

    And I still go offroading occasionally... Life happens and I haven't done it in awhile. Still need to match my front diff with a 4.56 gear ratio anyways before I throw it in 4wd again
