Maybe some custom audio and maybe some OEM smoked headlights. Still waiting on a set of emblems from one of the guys on the forums... They should tie everything together.
Nice! I like the color of the wheels! What color is that?
It is a titanium finish from Prismatic Powders. It is actually translucent and you still see the original polished finish.

What's your thoughts on the lift and how it handles after the install?
Any issues with install?
Does the drive shaft have to be shimmed?
Thanks
The truck handles well. I did lose a bit of ride quality, but I think its more to do with the MT tires. I honestly feel like the truck handles just as good as my 2014 with 3/1" leveling kit.
I talked with my installer and he said it went together smoothly. He was happy not having to drop the crossmember. The front is just the spindle, 2.5" spacer and extended brake lines. The rear is just a block/u-bolts. The driveshaft did not need to be shimmed but the block is tapered to improve the angle.
My only gripe is I never measure to confirm the actual lift. I have another buddy that just did the RCX lift 6" and it almost looks taller. I'll confirm later this week when I see him to compare the height.
I am actually in Orange Park. I actually met up with my buddy at Hot Wheels and he did the 6" Rough Country kit. Side by side the Maxtrac kit was slightly taller up front.. They might be close with the 7" overall height.
My recommendation is not to go crazy with your wheel offsets/width with 35s. I have had to trim both crash bars, fender flare, bumper plastic and shim the front bumper to clear 12" wides with -44 offset.
