Default Longest 3 months of my life. Well worth the wait!

Ordered my XLT at the tail end of October, built on December 19th, 2015 and took possession on January 13th, 2016. Waited an additional week for the dealership to install the Rough Country and new rubber. I did a lot of studying on this forum during that time and gained a lot of great information. I've been a Chevy guy my whole life but this truck has changed my mind......

Husky X-act contours are perfect.

Is that top pic after levelers? You do a block in back?

1" higher block in the back so I still have a small amount of rake. That way when I'm towing the boat I don't look like I'm doing a wheelie. Looks perfect/aggressive with the BFG's.

Like it. I have a similar truck on order. Doing levelers and a set of airbags to achieve a similar look and function. Same tires on order. Looks good.

I thought about air bags but I will see how much this settles first.
