Yeah those retrofits are incredible looking and I know it will look good on your truck. Wish I could make an extra 10k-20k a year to do all the mods I want lol

Thanks man, I think they will too. Raptor Retrofits does some great work.

Haha you and me both, I'm active duty military so I only get so much a year to spend on me and pretty much all of that goes to the truck.

After picking a copy up yesterday and looking more closely at the headlights [MENTION=111876]HTXfX4[/MENTION] had built for his truck and then having a conversation with Dawson at RaptorRetrofits I decided against the black bezel and I am going to go with entirely Ingot Silver headlights and going to do the shroud red. Can't wait for these to get here next month.

Those are going to look sick man. Looks like that kit I was looking at aren't Kali Legal. Which I thought but was hoping and praying it would be. I'm going with the AFE Mach Force XP Cat Back. It's Cali Legal, Good Price and Good sound. I can't wait, going to put it on myself instead of paying 250 some odd bucks to install it.

I hope so. Man I'm sorry to hear that, but you'll be happy with the AFE.

Thank you for taking the time to post all of the pictures of your progress. I am getting ready to pull the trigger on suspension mods and like many others I couldnt decide between the Camburg/Fox Coilover w/ UCA's or a full 6" lift, but after seeing yours I am definitely going with the 6".
I think im going to get the 6" BDS Fox Coilover Package. I figure its a great combination of both ideas, I still get Fox coilovers but will have a true 6" lift.

Now I just need to decide if I will need upgraded UCA's with a 6" lift or not? It wont have the same angles that a leveling kit will, but its never a bad idea to get rid of the ball joint arms anyway...... decision decisions...

Thanks man, glad I could help you out. If your able to do control arms at the same time, I'd suggest doing it just so you don't have to mess with it down the road. I would eventually like to so my control arms just to make the truck that much better.
