Keep in mind I don't have the front bumper so the PIAA's would just sit in the shed.
My guess is with those kind of mods planned in your sig. you better put the $375 in the bank to pay for death wobble mitigation.

If i had 375 that i had to spend on the truck.... here's what i would do

Gauges
Bedliner
katskins
STU Paddles for the dunes
HID Lights
I have a spray in liner already. I do plan on taking my truck to have the upholstery done on the driver side seat. But I won't be getting any gauges. I rarely tow anymore, and I am not putting any power addes on my truck.

Oh and I got paddles just not for the truck, I live in Texas now

Ahh that stinks. How long did it take before you noticed them cutting in?

Not wishing you any ill will, it's just that most of the death wobble issues appear to be related to lifted trucks/trucks with oversize tires.

Your hard earned money, spend it as you wish. Ppl like to chime in telling you how to better handle your finances. The flares took about 9 months the first time I looked, it's not that bad, it's just the clear coat that rubbed off luckily I caught it on time.

Added some 3m double sided adhesive to the black trim gadget on the flare before I reinstalled it, it acts as a pad between the flare and paint and keeps the area sealed. You can barely see it u have to try and lift it off the fender before you realize it's there. I don't worry about it if one day I sell her the flares will go with her.

Yea same... although I don't plan on selling her. IF anything I will keep her until it cost more to repair than it's worth the junk her. After I buy my next vehicle she will become a deerlease truck becasue she is alrady paid off.

Your Ravelco might have been your best investment--especially in Houston. It might save your truck from being bi-lingual.

Factory flares hardly give any protection, they don't stick out very far and the rough texture makes them pretty much unpaintable.

I probably won't paint the Pockets if I get them.. At least for a while that is... My door handles and bumper things on my doors are the flat black plastic, and the wheels I am getting are matte black so I think it should look ok. But we will see.
