I had the truck in the shop today for the new duals, True Dual 2.5" pipes off each cat with Flowmaster 40 series mufflers angled out the back with 3.5" rolled stainless tips. Its not as loud as i hoped it would be but it did seem to pick up the lost acceleration i had from my other split dual pipes. My autospring 2.5" level kit, stainless door handles, and Line of fire/ice came in today, I will get pics tomorrow of the handles, and line of fire/ice (night pics) and the truck on the ground. Here are some pics of the truck in the air for exhaust

Here is 2 pics of the side of the truck 1 you can kinda see the chrome handles and the other is a good side shot of the exhaust. I will post more pics and hope that if any one has suggestions or criticism they will let me know, GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THREAD OR MY ALBUM AND YOU WILL SEE MY TRUCK BUILDUP. Thanks Kris

Miller your truck is coming along nicely never had much interest in those light but after seeing them on your truck they got my attention are they a simple plug and play or is there wire splicing involved

Either Or, they come with a 4 prong to plug into the hitch wiring and a white wire which has to be spliced into a reverse power source, I cut the plug and hard wired that way they are always on, even during they day they are bright and also so i would still have access to the trailer hookup if needed.

Wow your truck is coming along quite nicely. I wish I would have gone the true dual route when I had my exhaust done. I also really want one of the line of fire/ice lights. The mod bug is a b because there are always some great mods out there and when you see them on other trucks it makes you want them even that much more. The chrome mirrors and door handles also look veyr good on your truck.

Well i wanted to go with the LT handles, but price was alot more than the 45.00(shipped) i paid so i went with stainless covers. You have the 4.6 also what tranny and rear end did you have stock. Even with all my upgrades it still seems i lack acceleration out of the hole. Im gonna try plugs and fuel filter next but i dont think thats going to be enough.
