Thanks! FYI, its a requirement in both states I've lived in. I have only been given a fix it ticket one time for no front plate and that was in a sports car I had. Never had an issue in my truck.

+1 on this. I'm in CA and have driven with no front plate on any vehicle of mine in the last 10 years and have gotten a correctable ticket once. Cops seem to care more about tint than the plate.

Just got a 2" rough country level installed. Pretty sure the steering wheel is a tad bit left of center after the alignment, hopefully it's a quick tweak to fix it when I go back in a few days to check torque after settling etc.

Waiting on tire install at discount tire now

I have a feeling the mileage is gonna suck on this tank.....lol
That stuff sucks... I'll never buy it. No performance and with the reduction in mileage you might as well stick with XX octane dinosaurs.

Nitto Ridge Grappler 275/65R20 on stock 20" PVD wheels. 2" rough country level. My future list includes some Bilstein 5100's and a ~0.75" taller rear block for the rake, but this seems great for now.

I was worried about garage clearance but it's not nearly as close as it looks lol (the driveway does slope down I guess that helps)

Sorry I don't have a totally flat picture right now, I'll upload a flat pic with wheelwell measurements later the sloped driveway makes it look a little nose-higher than it is

Looks great!

Just curious what percentage tint do you have? Getting mine done soon, your looks good.

Got my black lug nuts installed and finished my detail job. VERY happy with Chemical Guys products. Their "Butter Wet Wax" is awesome. The sun is shining down on the passenger side and there's still a ton of shine on the drivers side even though it's in a shadow. Was a lot of work but very satisfying.
