Also, forgot to mention I did the Bilstein 5100's 2" leveling shocks. My next purchase is tires and just wondering what is the biggest tire I can out on my truck. I don't care if I have to do some trimming on the wheel well plastic. I do minor drinving during the week because I have a work van but I do tow a boat every weekend.. Thanks for any help guys.

Just in case you wanted to see what the rockers would look like. Nice truck, by the way.

Just have to wash the rockers good and let them dry. I did one body panel at a time. Also lay it on heavy at the tape line, and pull the tape while it's still wet otherwise the dip will tear. I found a video on YouTube that showed how to do stripes with plasti dip... It helped explain the process.

Thanks man. The next thing I want is the flat black fender flares like yours. I think they would look sick with the rockers/bumper.
