Default A few new upgrades...

Finally pulled the trigger a few weeks ago and ordered some Black Rhino MOABs 17x9 with +12 offset and also got Rancho Quicklift with RS9000xl's in back. I will have new measurements up tomorrow as far as fender pics go.

Here is truck before upgrades

Front fender measurement prior to quicklift

Rear fender measure

And finished product.



I will be having some fun with plastidip in the near future. I am going to do the bumpers Anthracite Grey and emblems Black.

Did you put the Ranchos on yourself? If so how was it? I'm planning on getting a set next week. I've heard they go on easy.

Definitely let us know how it rides. I'm trying to figure out if I want new shocks in back or the Hellwig bars.

Where did you find the anthracite plasti dip? Nobody around me sells it yet and I can't find anybody that charges less than $10 a can to ship it which I'm not paying

Ride is a little stiffer, but in a good way. It is a lot tighter now. I will have to adjust it some to get it dialed in how I want it but overall am very impressed over the stockers that were on before.

Had a shop install for me as for the past week and half I have been installing floors in our house. Overall did our bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen and entryway. I just didn't have time right now nor the energy - I feel like I am roughly 15-20 years older body wise due to the flooring. I ordered the Anthracite plastidip through Amazon from dipyourcar.com. With the Anthracite you will not get below $9-10 a can as it is kind of a specialty color with metal fleck I believe. Ride as I said is way better than before.

BTW if you are on the ledge about spending the money on shocks and struts versus just a spacer Rancho is doing a spring promo right now which lasts until June 1 I think and I should be getting $120 back which almost covers install price that I paid.
