    Jim, thanks for posting the pics. I have so few from wheeling because I'm usually driving. ;)

    Funny, I was looking at some of the pics of your truck rethinking the whole tube bumper thing. :eek: Get the All-pro rear bumper to make it a matching pair and call it a day. :cool:

    Front springs settled enough, felt it was time to install some 10mm top plate spacers. Passenger side was a PITA. Took over an hour prying on things to get the eyebolt lined up. Utilized my bottle jack for the first time ever.

    IMG_0426_zps9bb4a23a_24de0f93704197e300c40b53e215256378237155.jpg

    Really crappy picture but the eye bolt was really close to the CV boot on the passenger side:

    IMG_0427_zpsc00ed656_359eed6da4ee26b41b459719a5870b64a013f9a9.jpg

    Victory!

    IMG_0438_zps79320765_31818da16c07c2b0aece084ac14c19a63f9f0121.jpg

    Got both sides installed, all shiny and new:

    IMG_0428_zps9e85b9eb_7811b956f0ab2f3935fb788c7df8cbe5e89048fb.jpg

    Measurements shows Truck is sitting very close to level. Hoping to get it washed tomorrow and some pictures showing the new stance.

    Picked up a 60" hilift today. The 48" wasn't cutting it anymore.

    IMG_0445_zpsc22c9656_009a0a4582eb6d758152cdfb3a82820ba4e2f383.jpg

    I think some of you can see what I'm going to do about mounting it with the way it is laying there. Have to figure out how to fab up some mounting plates that tuck up against the bed sidewalls and I'll be able to have the full bed if I ever need to haul something big.

    Also, picked up a nice little kit in prep for a UPS delivery :eek:

    Butt seriously. What do you know about fog lights vs. driving lights? Looking at getting some PIAA 510s for the bumper fog light holes and they offer two versions. Which do I want, driving or fog?

    driving lights throw out light a good distance. they are supposed to reach farther than normal high beams but not as far as spotlights. fog lights only throw out light a small distance (less than low beams)

    so it just depends on if you want the light right infront of you or "far" infront of you
