They can do custom colors on the coilover springs if you're interested. Prob a good idea to get the weather wrap and the spanner wrench too. And my rear blocks are 2 3/4" for a slight rake. I'll be here if u have any other Q's.

And then with 35's. My wheels have an 18mm offset, so if you're gonna get 35's double check that they'll fit for sure.

You're tugging at my heart with that black truck. I've had two solid blacks in my life and loved them. The next new truck is going to be black.

Thank you sir, I didn't mean to I swear. Lol. This is my first black truck, it's growing on me now, I actually said "I'm kinda over the whole black truck thing" about 2 weeks before I bought it. Lol. So I bought it and made it even MORE black. Thursday its getting a total paint makeover, clay bar, polish, possible wet sand/compound, and then 2 coats of C Quartz. Hopefully that'll bring it back to wet shiny black glory. I saw a nice '15-'16 black crew cab today, damn nice, had the factory 20" grey 5 spoke wheels... Very very nice. I'm sure u could have one in the driveway by the weekend.

I probably could, and I'd probably end up living in it.........

Reading that last post reminded me of the one issue with a black truck. Keeping them clean is a chore. My 350 is dark blue metallic, and a close second on the PITA scale when it comes to keeping it presentable. The 150 is ingot silver and much easier.

Yeah, I had a '13 XLT in ignot silver for about a year, loved the color, always looked clean. The wife helped me find this truck, was driving one day and was just like maybe I should just get a reg cab? She stumbled onto it on a website right then on the phone, got to the dealer 2 hrs later, they hadn't even finished detailing it to set on the lot, left with it about 4 hrs later. Just happened to be black. Hard to beat black when it is clean tho right?

I don't currently consider my reg cab lifted (1/2" front spacer with 2.5" rear block), but two years ago, I was going to a totally different look and it was a bit taller.

Now:

Then: 2.5" level, 3" rear block, tow mirrors, 31.5" tires.

Man you turned that into one clean sharp looking truck. Wow. I'm still baffled and amazed at your underside looking like it just rolled off the factory, beyond impressive.
