Default Rough country 5" lift questions
So I bought a rough country 5" lift today, it should be in around next friday, and I want to put my own touch on it. I know it comes with a differential skid plate, and I am going to paint that red, but there are also these other two plates. I want to know if anyone knows what they are / if anyone has them, and if they would be easily visible.

Yeah they're paintable. I don't know if a lot of people have done it, but I've seen it done. Also, yes you can see them if you don't have side steps.
