Just call me sean. Really
Oh yes. Test fit had just the rim sticking out an inch past the front fender. Exactly where I wanted it! They're getting put on thursday after I paint them black. A real heavy gloss black. And when I paint the truck they may get the entire lip painted the same blue as the truck.
I think they are 4" backspacing, I can lay a beer can perfectly on the lip

Did everything I could with what I had. Used a still wire brush (didn't seem to do much but every little bit helps), then a bare metal primer, 2 coats of gloss black and 2 coats of gloss clear. Hopefully they hold up the way I want. Otherwise I'm gonna have to get them powder coated.
The lips on all of them are a little messed up paint wise. Something left over on the surface I missed, but that doesn't matter cause they are all getting a blue pinstripe over that area

I got them at my local advance auto parts. They were a little to big for the top hole tho which would have been like a 3 inch drop. The were too long to fit under the bed lol. So I cut the top hole off and used the second one down and it worked perfect
