    Figured it might finally be time to make a post like this..

    The truck is a 2016 SR DCSB 4x4 V6. Bought her brand new back in February on 2016. Spent the last 3 1/2 years slowly modding it and here is how it sits today.

    Nice looking rig, those sr wheels always grab my attention. Cool to see stock wheels on these trucks, and the spacers place them perfectly.

    It's crazy how those high clearance bumpers make a 3rd gen look so high. Some of you guys have big balls cutting up bumpers and besides!

    I know 33’s are the “full bro” option, but I gotta say, your trucks looks perfect on 31’s. The proportions and the amount of lift is perfect. Super nice man!

    All the parts for suspension was right around $1,100 for the lift. And the SPC’s I got later which were close to $500 I believe.

    Yes sir! Been super pleased with them! They gave the truck a nice aggressive look prior to the bumpers.

    I’ve been super torn on the flares from the start. I kind of regretted not getting a truck with them from the factory. But with all the mods and after looking at my truck next to some TRD’s. I’m happy I went with the SR. Just a little cleaner look all around.
