I think you'll have a different opinion when you see it up close. My truck is kinda blinged up as it is... I really don't want to go overboard with shine or chrome. It's not easy avoiding tackiness.

Did I tell you I can get to Cashiers in 5 mins driving this beast ! LOL

yeah yeah yeah... :-) Thanks. I'm pretty disappointed with the Bilstiens. They're great riding shocks and all but, they're sold as " Stainless steel " . They aren't. They're zinc with some kind of coating. No sooner than a week after they were on they started pitting. they'll be being replaced soon with some reservoir shocks.

RR shocks with your 6" lift may be tough. Unless you run them outside the coil. Not a bad option if the mounts are designed for all that load.

not trying to pick on you, my truck still has a identity problem. I dont know what way to go either.

Not really. Superlift has them. They'll fit my truck because I already have the dual shock brackets. The reservoir will strap to the shock itself or to the bracket. The one in the coil will stay a normal shock. The only reason i didn't get them in the first place is, they really aren't much better of a shock and cost a lot more. I'll be installing Fox shocks this time around.

Your truck looks like you've found just what you want to do with it. It's very tough looking from what I see. It has a nice stance.
