    I'm actually thinking of taking off that front black valance that houses the turn signals. I just converted mine to running lights. I think taking it off would provide a plethora of new mounting points for lights or whatever. Never thought of taking that off, just the whole bumper. Looks really good.

    Yeah I love it, I cut mine so it covers the collision bar behind the valance. It looked like I was in a wreck or something when I had it all off. Haha

    Do you have stock leafs in the back, and what did you use to paint your bumper?
    I like those wheels and tires, what size are they?

    Soooooo i havent posted on my own thread in awhile, and ive been doing quite a bit to the truck!

    I know your all gonna hate me for this, but i bought some of these

    906F6FA0-8B73-431E-A135-F748B6FAF3D9_zps_1cfeb83c49d33320f53d62b3b4e6886142817a24.jpg

    the ride is actually amazing. adjustable for tarmac and offroad, and they are shiny :p

    81EBE22E-80D1-424F-9201-65AEFF414A7F_zps_26a34e40c0e949d7ed7a17531a1311d45caf21f5.jpg

    Then i FINALLY did.....

    EE6AD8C2-14E8-4C3A-950B-95C438A2B20E_zps_f0578405440ca6c7247034b7455d16e9ea125ad0.jpg

    Satoshi!!!!! (lights arent level i know):eek:

    715711D6-10E3-4A36-837E-65F5F2984366_zps_20800b4738ae8c17ce5b12d74e1d87d7f360f045.jpg

    After getting the quicklift struts up front she was LEANING hard so i bought these AAL from Fabtech

    DD7021BE-CDC6-40CB-B58A-4D78B54034E7_zps_bf8e4f886372fdfcd31345dc1cd05fa032e4003c.jpg

    and now the rear is a tad higher than the front (contstant battle):mad:

    FC6209B5-F95C-4B3E-A985-B5633C514BEC_zps_eaadc012cde96d04039011e4559a4508728ab945.jpg
    7AC94FE3-9216-4FCB-BC42-AA424FCD423A_zps_8a8b120ece86d4e9affa1d17cdf2cef575d2c08a.jpg
    ride quality on the AAL is actually 10X better than i thought it would be. didnt make it super rough at all! :yes:

    might have to put some spacers on the front struts again but whatever. hope yall enjoy!
