Spindles have been great for me. Imo, its the bang for the buck.

do you have part numbers available for all this? The existing shutter system doesn't work with the new grille? Is it that much different?

I have all the part numbers somewhere filed away. Took about 2 months of calling dealerships and looking around.
The shutter assembly is completely different. It wa on back order so I modified my 16 to fit

Extremely good quality lift. You’ll appreciate the kit and how easy it installs for sure.

Very nice! What brand lift did you run with? Looks like new UCAs as well? My lift is getting done tomorrow... putting rough country 4" lift on my Fox Shocks at 2" preset and bought BDS 5" block for the rear along with the 6" lift BDS shocks. I'm pretty excited.
