Got busy this Sunday! Much to my surprise my truck still fits in the garage! I was sure it wouldn't be able to get past the door after the body lift but it clears by about 2"

First thing was replacing the door speakers

Trucks looking good man, been a while since I looked through the thread. I was going to do a NBS bumper but couldnt find a decent one. Also didnt think tips would make that much of a difference in gas mileage, pretty crazy.

Thanks man! Yeah I didn't know either about the tips, a friend was constantly ragging on me for having them and when the body lift happened they look like a sore thumb even with the bumper not being lifted. So I let him have his way cut em off, needless to say I didn't mind my drive home lol.

I know I picked up around 3 when I got the pipe ran all the way out on my truck. Was getting around 9 with the mufflers dumped under the passenger seat.
