@2013bluef150 I appreciate that man, I love it so far. It does sit a hair taller than a ProComp, I've got a buddy in the neighborhood with the 6" kit, same thing with the Fabtech kit but I am not sure about the BDS kit.

What would be really cool is to remove the 2 center sections of the grille and put 2 lightbars in there spots.

The tail end is a little lower, but I have lift shackles on order right now to even it back up and I think they were $80. If you decide to go with this lift get with [MENTION=156902]Brian@TruckImage.com[/MENTION] or [MENTION=156901]Billy@TruckImage.com[/MENTION] to order it, they offer a forum member discount and it is really an unbeatable deal. You can get it for about the same price as a 6" Rough Country kit. They're great guys and awesome to deal with.

That's what I am leaning towards. There is a company in the Houston, TX area I've been talking with who has some very reasonably priced 20" and 30" single row bars I'm gonna go with. The plus side is I don't have to drill any holes in my pretty truck to install them haha. They deliver nationwide which is another bonus.

I cleared these on a leveling kit so a 20x10 should be fine, if you have to trim it should be minimal.

Hope this helps

Jesters are a +12 not a -12

That truck looks KILLER!!

My mistake, I looked for a negative offest everywhere and all I could find was a +12 in a 20x9
