Good work! Yours looks real good! I like the look of the bull bar. Thought about installing one on mine. What exhaust are you running? Mines just a cat-back. I like mine but it needs to be louder but not obnoxious. Thinkin about removing the back two cats. Any recommendations?

There's other ways too

Another thing about rake on a truck is she'll be level most of the time if you constantly have a big load on. Our 04 is levelled lol....by a bunch of rocks in back.

I was just getting ready to level my truck, I still have a set of spring stabilizers I wanted to do it with.

And if I get that 03, level she goes in a hurry.

I'm running a small exhaust and I have it running out the passenger side between the nerf bar and back tire...I'm going to get a flowmaster super 10 and possibly get two and cut at the Y so have two separate mufflers and separate pipes.

I want to cut out my two pre cats and replace the main cats with high flow ones but not sure how to get around emissions and be able to trick my computer system.

Make sure if you run two separate lines for your exhaust that you either put an x-pipe or an h-pipe to balance out the exhaust pressure to help your truck run better an easier. Otherwise your motor will have to work harder to push the exhaust out the driver side since the pipe is longer from crossing over under the trans. And if you cut out all your factory cats and replace it with two high flow cats your trucks emissions should be perfectly fine.

Thanks! And yeah, I cranked the t-bars to level it. I would like to eventually get some bigger tires but mine have 60%+ tread so ill wait a bit. Probably go with some 33s when I need new ones.
