looks like a good way to upgrade the look. Got any pics from the front?

Came out looking factory.
Rough Country level, 285/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W's. Still contemplating the rear 1" blocks for a minimal rake...thoughts? Kinda looks like it's lower in the rear now, but it's level.
How do your tires ride? Ive had a set on my truck along with 17x8.5 level 8 trackers and it rides like crap, ive had them balanced twice now and they still have a vibration. 😠
I added a camper shell, an aftermarket video in screen rearview mirror with a backup camera, changed the lens in the backup camera to a very wide angle, added a rubber bed mat, a dash cam, and a CB radio. Next will be an aftermarket camera for the front which I have but not installed yet. I am mulling over tinting the back side glass and removing the rear spring spacer.

Finally remembered to shoot a photo of the $99 snap-on grill.
The stock look was just too unfinished for me and it looked like a county service vehicle. I may or may not still paint the headlight trim in cloud white, but am fine with it for now.
