Default Boost74 Build Part2

So my first build was a 2012 Eco with a 6in lift on 35's. Now I'm in 2016 5.0 and keeping it mild. So I started with a Icon stage1 level kit sitting on 20x10 -19 Hostile Gauntlets wrapped in 305 55 r20 BFG KO2's. Icons are in hand and awaiting tires and wheels. So for now I have started "de-chroming" the 150. Removed all rear emblems and hydro dipped the oval and PTM the blue areas. Next were the fender emblems and finished off with a urethane clear coat. Replaced third brake light with a Recon light and next will be the rear bumper.

More to follow and enjoy the pics for now.

Tires came in today. Have to say not much of a height difference from stock. I would say maybe and inch.

Can you report back on how the Icon Stage 1 system is? I've looked into those, just pricey. Looks like the start of an awesome build.

Power is just fine. It felt a little sluggish at first, but I guess now the computer has adjusted for the tires and it feels stock again. As for MPG, I only lost 2. I'm very happy.

Wheels arrived on the "brown truck" express today! Nice looking wheel in my opinion. Thoughts?

Waiting on new TPMS then off to the shop.
