    Do the trim pieces under the headlights go back on without the bumper?

    I initially bought 35x12.5r17 massive short course tires like B-lang, they clear in a straight line but at full bump and lock they rub the firewall. Sooo I went with smaller tires to save my truck from the hammer.. If you were to just mall crawl and not actually use the kit, you could run 35s all damn day.

    Not scared, just don't need too... yet.:thumbsup: haha These tires being smaller was just an all around better decision for my truck. Less stress on stock parts, full 14" travel with no rubbing, more power to the ground, they are street legal, no need to re-gear, mud and snow approved... since I have 4wd :wink: and they dont even look that small sooo 35s aren't important to me anymore.

    The trucks not quite done yet. I have only had it for one day so a lot of details need to be addressed. I have those trim pieces just need to mount them.

    And I can already see this question coming from some random troll, the bumper is going to get painted black asap and the skid will be redone and extended farther down under and meet up with the factory crossmember.

    B-lang was the first person to ride in it with me. I'll let him explain.
