Well, I have finally gathered all the pieces and hopefully I will get this all finished up Friday or Saturday.

I'll post before and after pics when finished.

That's going to be one very well built rig!

So it's finished with the exception of an alignment and maybe some minor trimming.

295/65-18 Duratracs on 18x9 Fuel Throttles 5"BS

I'll get some fender measurements after it settles, I check the air pressure and get the alignment.

That looks awesome man, I think thats the perfect amount of lift. The truck looks just right!!!!

Congrats ..... That looks really sweet. Nice choices .

Thanks guys! I am glad I waited on the Throttles, I had thought about Hostage's but there are allot of them out there. I am sure in time more people will get the throttle's as well.

Front end is aligned, I put the hub centric spacers in, hopefully that will correct the 60mph shake. Now to get it cleaned up!

Thanks!

I am going to leave the Airdam on, I see allot of people take them off and debadge, but I am leaving everything, with the exception of the tailgate bowtie.

I want it to look like my truck, and i'm a little old school, I like those items and I also like tires with a little more sidewall. Not that the others don't look good, just my preference.

I'm sticking with these mirrors as well, not a big fan of tow mirrors, and I don't do much towing.

A body lift probably would have saved me some trimming, but I like the height it is now, plus it fits in the garage with the roof open. Would be pretty ugly to tear that glass out!

I have ~1900 in the kit with shocks, did my own install so the money I saved there I put into the kit. I like the fact CST retains the stock track width up front.

I know and have been reminded there are many ways to lift these trucks, this was just my preferred kit from day one.

Truck looks great, and very clean. Aside from removing the air dam, which you just stated you didnt want to do, the only other thing Ide do, if it were me, would be to color match the rear bumper. Ive never been a fan of 6" lifts. That height is perfect.

Im planning on doing the same with mine, except im going the BL route with a set of 305/70/17s
