Mark,

I'm sure whatever way you go it'll turn out great. One things for sure -- you'll have a great looking truck with the lift, tires, etc.

Speaking of lifts, where'd you end up getting your kit?

Rod,

You'll never believe the pricing I got. I had mentioned I had a friend who for 10 years, he owned a truck shop. He's been installing lifts for years.... well now he works for one of the dealerships my shop does paint work for. I've been good to him helping out whenever he needed it.

He got me a Fabtech 6" lift, steering kit, shock kit, Mazzi Hulk 20x10's, Toyo Open country 38's and extended skid plate (he had ONE set of Toyo's left in stock, apparently they are impossible to get right now)

The entire kit including installation is 4800.00

The kit should be here Mon or Tues. Hopefully I can get it installed by the next weekend.

I'm going to order the SS flares, I'll try them... luckily, my friend is also a distributor for them and said I should be able to get them for well under the 399 I have found them for.

Now, one question. Do I leave them black or paint them the color of the truck?

Thanks for your help.

Mark

Ernie,

I live in NC. Even though our inspections are only second to Calif., around here (too many rednecks) they don't really say anything about stuff like that. Just yesterday, I was talking to a guy with a LIFTED Ford. I'm only 5'5" but my forehead JUST touched his rocker panel. He had a set of 44 or 49 on it... it was stupidly high but I see him driving all over the place.
