    I kind of like the bedliner design...it's creative and I've never seen it before. Props.

    If you do any wheeling though...lose the nerf bars for a pair of sliders. Then get the sliders powder coated. I have 'em and they look badass.

    Overall looks nice but you should have less chrome! Chrome is for mall crawlers!

    There we go with the critics again. The nerf bars serve a purpose. The stainless steel wont rust. My girlfriend is short and sliders are great for hardcore offroading, but I just use mine for hunting and running over "haters" lol.

    Also for all of you who have not used a high-lift jack. Get a CLUE! You don't need sliders to jack up your truck. You just need a wheel and this accessory.

    So you're going to put all the weight on the wheel that you're jacking up, or you're going to jack up one side of your truck?

    If its option a) have fun being right next to a inherently dangerous device that could fail at any time and kill you b) be glad its IFS

    From what I hear they're pretty darn sweet. I would want some, but I can't justify paying more than 25 bucks for a seat cover that I'm going to trash with oil, grime, and dirt. Hence why I have my universal mossy oak camo one!

    Tim - I think he needs that much space because of the back spacing on his wheels. "Procomp 15x10's with 3.75" backspacing"

    Thank you 3fitty. with the backspacing and 12.5" wide tires it is tough to clear everything. After I tear my first set of CV's I will drop the top plate spacer and see how everything goes. I had to do VERY minor trimming.

    So you wanted to lift it waaay up high for 33s so you didn't have to trim anything. Gotcha.

    Have fun in the off camber parking lots!

    Why so rude pittim? I understand the consequences of my actions. I mentioned in the first part of this thread that I appreciate all of your support.
    So thank you, but no thank you...

    Nice truck man I'm going for just about the same thing with mine 33"/12.5"x15" I'm going to try and stay under 3" of lift and hope they don't rub to much.

    i like it alot. but like others have said step bars will not hold up to a highlift, true you can lift off from the wheel but then you have to carry a jack stand around and all that. sliders will work for step bars, just dont tuck them as close to the truck when you weld them on you can let them stick out a some. i think a snorkle would be cool. i plan on getting one eventually, a cold air intake sucks for any mud and water. i used to have one until i took it off and done the deck plate mod. How did you prep your bed side for the bed liner? any kind of sanding or just put it on there?
