Update on project:
Well spraying all done. Going back tonight to finish unmasking and clean the shop up. Then hopefully reassemble Wednesday.
It turned out awesome. Very clean lines and when I sprayed the white pearl and clear I had a second tape line done above the raptor liner edge so it was basically encapsulated in top coat and clear to prevent water infiltration.
Is it 100% match? No, but very close and looks identical to a line-x job I saw in the color.
I was hesitant on what to do with my chrome body strips. I said F$@* it and prepped and sprayed them too. Luckily the raptor liner didn't block the crevice between chrome and body panels.
If you have a garage/shop space and enjoy working on your truck I recommend this project. Nothing about it was overly difficult, just time consuming. Mine took longer because I had to plan around my friends schedule and when he was going to be home.
I believe the raptor liner will hold up perfectly. I've done months of research, spent countless hours reading reviews and raptor liner projects so I was well prepared. There's overspray on the inside of the bushwackers on unprepped plastic, I literally couldnt scrape/pick it off with my finger nail and I was trying my hardest. I also tried it on the front of them it nothing.

for the record...
if anyone takes any pet of anyone I know, a beating will be the least of their worries.
yea cops, I used the word "will". doesn't mean i'd do it, or I know someone who would do it for me or a friend of mine...
but I can say, anyone I know in that situation, would probably consider A beating to be the start of a long, long, long encounter.
as for myself, I would be the best "law biding citizen" anyone would ever meet if someone ever harmed my dog. heck, I won't even let my gf discipline my dog.

RAS?
meaning roadmasters active suspension?
if so, could you please school me on these. i'm looking into buying them and having them installed for me.
while i'm usually empty on my truck and rarely have I used it to tow, I would rather be prepared than anything else.
thank you

I installed it with my bilstein 5100's so I can't say exactly how it changed my ride. My ride is a bit stiff though. I mainly got it so my *** end doesn't sag when pulling my bumper pull. It didn't sag much without RAS so I'm sure it will still hold slight rake when loaded. Sorry not much more info to provide.

It raised my *** end about 1/2". Install it yourself. I did it myself in about an hr with my wheels on.
