    A little of this and a little of that.

    Finally, a rear bumper that looks good. Who makes it?

    I was thinking about those, and they look great, but they are super pricey in my opinion...

    They certainly are spendy and it was a bit to absorb. You might want to look into a local auto body or auto paint shop and see if they can give you an estimate if you bring them in. The other issue with the painted caps I got from Sparks is they are plastic, not painted metal. Some minor fit issues but it worked out.

    Yeah I want to at least get a quote on getting the metal end caps dechromed and painted. Might end up more cost effective.

    I just cruised around for a while tonight and ran the signals quite a bit - no issues at all with just the front set.

    Also added some bumps to the truck today. FIL had a used Sonoma with a sound system that he parted out when it broke down, so gave me the sub and amp out of it. JL J2 250.1 and JL W1-10, just enough bass to round out the stock system.

    Yes, I did on my 2011. Used black touch-up paint and a small brush. Clean them with alcohol, let dry and apply. I did one coat. Lasted for 4 years (Until my 2011 met a tree that wouldn't move out of the way).

    First photo with 21/4” & 1”
    2nd photo 21/4” front with 1” block removed
    3rd and 4th photos 21/4” level it 7000 ranchos removed. Bilstine 5100 installed on lowest setting rides and handles a lot nicer and my 275/70r18 coopers fill out the wheel wells much better

    In all seriousness, these were the one thing I put on my birthday and Christmas lists. Both being in Dec, it was the first time in a long time that I didn’t mind getting a “combo” gift!

    Shackles installed. Now to test drive.

    The install only took an hour - with the help of a double claw puller and an impact driver the old leaf bushings popped out in less than a minute
