Nah, not any as of now. So far all is well, and it just got back from a roadtrip to Mayhem in ATL. I took tomorrow off, so I'll probably get some cleaned up pics once I get out of bed.
Still has the parking lot scar, but I've got new pieces ordered. Maybe within a weekish she'll be back to normal.

Finally got some updated pics.
Final drop is 2.5/4 with Slam Air helpers - 9psi in the pics. The rear is a little low still, but I'm going to try 12-15psi and see how it looks/rides. Once I'm able to use my shop again I plan to try the front at 3".

Any opinions on this setup? I'm leaning heavily towards these wheels in 22", ptm grille, and retrofits with ptm housing. More than likely all emblems will be shaved as well. Would mirror caps and handles be too much ptm on the truck?

I've been wanting to shave emblems or at least do the 2013 Limited emblems instead of what's on my truck. Either way would look better in my opinion.

I just didn't know if it would be too much ptm. I asked him to upsize the wheels a bit, but they look to be 20's. I'm trying to decide between 2's or 4's since I can get either in the offset I want.
I was originally planning on 09+ emblems, but I just think shaved would look a lot better. I have to replace the whole tailgate so that pushed me over the edge I guess. Tailgate will be smoothed completely, side emblems shaved, antenna deleted, and tailgate handle relocated.
Already have a new tailgate, so I just need some smooth handles and a relocation kit. I'm hoping to have it in paint around x-mas.
Still need to figure out what I'm going to do with the grille though.

The only reason I haven't completely shaved my tailgate is because you lose the ability to lock it afterwards. If that's not a problem for you, then that'd look great!
Between 22's and 24's, I think it depends more on how much sidewall you want to have left. Either one would look good.
Do you plan on moving the antenna or just shaving it and forgetting about it?

I have a couple questions for you on some retrofits. I'll send you a pm about it sometime this afternoon.
