Awesome. Good to know! Hopefully I will have mine in sometime this week. My tires will still look like little girl tires until I get some new ones!

I put a 2.5" HBS on my 4x2 and it sits slightly nose high. But the shocks have 100k plus on them. Surely new shocks would help level it out in the back more.

you sure its not just high cause yours is a 4x2? if it doesnt have the rear blocks from factory that could be why

Well I got new rims and its really weird seeing them with the stock tires on still. It still feels good though to know I'm making progress on it though!

i just had my pinstripe removed with an eraser wheel and it marred the sides of my truck. Thursday i'm taking it to a shop to get buffed and polished out then completely detailed and i can't wait to get it looking right again. the marks down the side bother me so much haha

Ah, I remember seeing a post about that. I had a small rusty spot on my gas cap and I finally went and got some touch up paint to fix it and there are still some scuff marks that I need to get out, or at least try. Didn't want to pay like $200+ to get it done professionally
