    How much of a gas hit was it with that lift and tires?

    @Millski , about 3 MPG when calculated straight from the odometer, but if you keep in mind that the odometer is now off due to the bigger circumference of the wheel (by about 7%), it is probably only 2 MPG since I actually travel further with every rotation of the wheel.

    Did a little painting today. I used VHT Plastic paint. Will see how it holds up.

    Great looking truck borther! If you don't mind me asking what 3"/1" set up do you have?

    @LAPlatinum , thank you. I love this truck.
    My leveling lift is just a Rough Country spacer in the front and blocks in the back. It is actually 3"/1.5". I only had 1.5" lean, so the 3"/1.5" puts it exactly level.
    I use the truck every day on construction sites (200 to 500 acreas of ploughed over land development projects) so it gets mild offroad use very regularly and I have not had any issues with the setup. That being said, since the Bilstein 5100 setup would be only a couple hundred bucks more I would probably do that, or something similar to that, next time in lieu of the spacers; just because... as I said I don't have any issues with this setup.

    For sure I get you brother. When I saw pictures of your truck i was like this guy right here has great taste and knows how to take care of their truck. I've been doing alot of research on here about lifting and honestly im still not sure what route to go. At first I was thinking the TRD Pro shocks, 6112/6150 combo, or falcons. Just keep it simple leveled may do a uca for better adjustment, keeping my stock 20 i actually like em just get some bigger tires on them and were good. not trying to spend money on the other brands but i get it you get what you pay for.

    How's your engine cover holding up? I'm thinking about painting mine soon. Any tips or things you would have done differently?

    When you used your VHT, did you use any primer or just spray the red/silver straight onto the black cover?

    @RobertD I just sprayed straight onto the plastic. The VHT is formulated for that.

    Sorry, I didn't see this post until now. The VHT is very easy to work with. Just make sure your masking tape sticks good, especially around bends it tends to lift. And start with very thin mist coats. It helps to seal the edges of the tape without bleeding underneath it.

    Awesome, thanks! Honestly if anyone around carried the blue VHT I would have tried this past weekend to paint it. Appreciate the advice and for sharing what you did. It really makes a difference in the engine bay.

    And so it comes to an end. I am sure going to miss the 2018, the V8, the memories...
    But it was time to move on to the next one.

    Nothing serious planned yet. (2018 did not really have anything very extravagant either - just small touches)
    I will start a build page and see where it goes. The XP package already added a bunch of little things that I would have done to a standard SR5 anyways.
