Got bored last night and decided to go ahead and knock out the leveling kit..Install Wasn't as bad as i thought it was gonna be from reading so many threads with people having a hard time getting them in..The other good thing is i still have a slight rake to the truck which i wanted thank god..Will be going to get an alignment tomorrow.I think it looks alot better with the plastidipped emblems and rear well liners,But i keep getting hung up on the nerf bars..I really like the way the FX4 posted earlier looks without the bars,But my wife and little girl rely on them to get in and the Amp power steps are a little steep on price..Im kind of liking the bars you just got Jeb..I wonder what they would look like on my truck!

Belushi thanks for the feedback..What size do you have because I think it looks perfect,And I know what ya mean about the factory antenna smacking the pillars in a parking garage lol..!
FX4Life it's A Daystar 1" budget level kit and yes the tires are 305/55/20's..I really like the way it turned out..It's my 1st 4x4 and I must say that I don't think I'll ever own another 2wd truck.....

Just as a suggestion, Dupont makes a garage concrete floor treatment. There is some really supr fine granular sand you can buy separately from the kit.
I'm fixing to spray a light coat of black Rustoleum primer on my steps and then sprinkle a light amount of sand on the steps. Then, I'll re-spray the steps with the Rustoleum gloss black. I think it'll stay on for awhile and should be great for foot traction.
Belushi, thanks a lot for directing me to the NFAB nerfs. I love them and have already got a lot of compliments on them. That bed step is priceless, as well.

Well, it looks great! These 1"-1.5" level kits really make the truck look dead level.

My HBS levellers were 1 3/8" and brought the front up 2". Mine's within 1/2" of being perfectly level ... rear is just a 1/2" higher.
Thanks for updating the thread everyone. Anyone got headers planned in the future? Looking to do a Roush catback for now, but, they're not available .... Roush said they don't know when they'll be available again but said they may know by week's end ... doesn't look like any of the other brand catbacks have the 3" flange like the Rosuh kit.

Here are a few updated pics after I cleaned her up yesterday.Even got 1 of my lil helper lol.I guess the truck is all settled down now and it sits dead level on the passenger side and a 1/4" higher in back on the driver side.Whats weird is in the pics of the driver side it almost looks like the front is slightly higher but its the exact opposite.Weird lol.Also that's a pretty good idea Jeb.I can't tell y'all how many times these steps have made me look stupid when wet out lol.
Thanks Fx4Life.I was scared of the truck sitting a bit higher in the front but luckily mine came out almost dead level.Its crazy how there is so much variance between all the trucks with level kits.You can put the same level on 3 different FX4's and get 3 different results.
