    lol

    Yeah, I gotta admit, these 98-00 front ends are hideous.

    The 01-04s are meh, IMO

    The 95-97s are fucking badass.

    I think a 95-97 grille with an 01-04 bumper/lower valence would look sick.

    IMO the 95-97 bumper/valence is too flat and square. Reminds me of that awful phase Nissan truck's went through.

    The 01-04 is more rounded and protruding, I like that.

    Hell I might even just keep my 98-00 bumper/valence now that it's blacked out with clear turn signals.

    They are a little longer than stock for 1-2" of lift, and certainly better than the stock, worn our billies that were on there.

    Engine freshly rebuilt due to blown head gasket, built my own CAI, EGR delete from LCEngineering, Billstein 5125's in the back with GM leafs, I can't stand paying for something that I can make in my garage so I built my own spacers for the front and tweaked them for 3" of lift.
    bought a cab with doors, windshield, and full interior for $340

    Your truck looks so sick. Just remember to remember what you did because I will be picking your brain, hopefully in the spring/summer

    So did you not jack up the rear of the truck to reduce the amount of compressing you had to do...but I'm sure the struggle helped keep you warm.:D
