    the rake on your truck looks pretty good.(from the sig pic) but idk how it would look if front was higher.
    ^^ other than that I don’t like how when you load 200 pounds or more in the bed or tow a nice load the back end sags and makes the front even higher. I put weight in the bed and tow quite a bit, I like the factory rake for towing and hauling stuff. heck I would be fin if the back was 1/2” or 1” higher even.


    some have asked why i have not lifted yet. I had the money for a spacer lift, but did not want a spacer lift. 1) i just wanter a better lift. 2) i did not want the truck to be “level"

    I was poking fun. I hate that look and like you said I'd rather be higher in the rear for towing and hauling stuff.

    yeah i know. i don’t mind the front like 1” or so higher. but if you use the bed a lot and tow a lot than it’s not ver practical. Having the rear higher is better, because than once it has some weight it sit level and not sagging as much.

    Did my 50k service today changed the engine oil, front and rear diff. Replaced the pcv valve, cabin air filter, upper and lower radiator hoses and the coolant. The trans case looked good so I left it be. I guess the belt will be next on the next oil change along with cleaning the K&N air filter. It rained here most of the day and would have taken the air filter forever to dry out so I didn't bother.

    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    I ordered some lights. New turn signals since the wife said stock are too dim when I was following her out a few nights ago. (blame the BHLM).
    Will mount these signals on the trim piece under the headlights I think. They're flush mount LED motorcycle turn signals.

    Also ordered a 4 inch LED flood light to wire into my reverse lights. Will mount it on trailer hitch bar.

    Plasti-dipped these. Intentionally gave them a textured look.
