well hopefully going to start on cleaning the truck up. going to clean the frame and coat it with POR15. make a dual shock hoop and install fox 2.0 smooth body resi's and put on some HD tow mirrors for now. phase 2 will hopefully take place before summer and will consist of power coating the lift kit silver and adding fox resi's out back! i'm hoping to get going on it soon, just need to get the hydro tube bender. will update as i make progress.

Nice truck. Are those 2.0 shocks made for trucks with 6" lifts? I have been thinking about getting some.

You need to get the right length shocks for your set up. Since I am building my shock hoop I went with the 6.5s and I believe most dual shock hoops require that length also like full throttle.

Nice! I just saw this thread. I think even gun metal or the silver like your rocker panels would look nice on the suspension

Honestly with the color of your truck i think you should just color match the bumpers and tow mirrors abut leave the grill chrome with a polished billet instert and yes smoke the rears. I love ur wheel and tire combo but is it neccesary to have a 6"+ lift for that ?
