Hey guys, thanks for the positive comments, sorry Jefk, I forgot to post back lol, I do have 3:55 gears. A quick update on the truck:
Got a headache rack:
After a year of contemplation, I finally got the 4x4 stickers:
Then I got bored with nothing to do, so I painted the scuffed up plastic on the console.

Very Nice, I remember being 16 (lol 6 years ago) and I wanted a truck but everybody selling them wanted way too much for what they were ordering so I but the bullet and Bought a few cars (4 to be exact) and when I finished college at 19 and got my career going I bought my 13 FX4!!!

Thank you, the headache rack I had a fab guy weld up so I didn't have to spend 400 bucks on a brand new one lol. There is no structure to it though, you can wiggle the thing back and fourth...

I finally got leaf springs out of a F-250 LD, and put an add-a-leaf in them and installed them today. My U-bolts where just barley long enough for the amount of lift I got. Before from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender was 26.5", and after it is about 29.37". We had to relocate the E-brake cable, but for now I think all is good.

I repainted the skid plate today, I spray painted it when I got the lift but it wasn't holding up good with rocks so I am hoping plasti dip will. I like the previous color a lot more, but I don't like seeing little black dots everywhere the rocks hit haha.

Trucks looking good dude! I actually like the way the plastidip came out on there better. If that doesn't work though, you should look into some gator liner. I think thats what its called anyways. Its a roll on bedliner that you can tint to any color. It would probably hold up pretty good.
