    Ordered a new set of 5100's to get rid of my spacers and have a little better ride.
    Going to do the balljoints and sway bar end links/bushings.
    Devoting this next upcoming weekend to getting the paint done.

    I think that the fender flares black would look better. Might be a little too much blue if they were the same.

    You mean the fender flares? Were it me...I'd probably go with black to match the grill and bumper. Black on blue themed. I've got the black on white going and it works for me.
