    i think you will be very happy with the FTS lift. did you get the uni-ball uppers too? you should get it powder coated lime green or something. do it like Dizzles truck and do bright orange.

    I didn't get uppers. I may eventually get uppers and dual hoops, but I don't know about running chrome resi's in the winter up here. Same thing with powder and chrome, I'm just going to leave it black since it would look like doo doo from the salty winters.

    Mostly just being very busy with work. I was in the Dominican for 2 weeks then just got back from Mexico yesterday. 12" travel Bilstein 5100s ordered for the rear along with Bilstein 7-9s for the front. Probably going to order wheels this week and try to get it done next weekend.

    Small update:

    A local guy agreed to paint by bumper plastic. He's all through with the upper pads and sent me some pictures. Lower pad with sensors, front valence, tailgate cap, and mirrors will get done as well.
