Love your truck. I wanna black my bumpers out like yours

The wrong ones for these tires. LoL

I don't recommend powder coating the chrome bumpers.

I did it and it started flaking off after about 2 years....or the 1st really good rock chip.

I was just gonna plastidip them. If j spend the money on powder coat then I'm gonna just buy the steel and weld a bumper

Lol. I have 3.55's and debating if 37s would be liveable for a while until I upgrade.

 

[dkappel6189]

I had the stock 3.73 gears for my 38s for a little and it was brutal

 

[Will H]

I have 3.73 as well.

On my bumpers, I chose the bedliner route. And I'm glad I did. Rock chips, scrapes, etc are easy to touch up.

Love it man, basically what I'm aiming for ATM.

How'd you manage the hitch? All the body lifts I've seen have it sitting low looking like shit, yours looks fine.

Also how does she manage the 37's work 3.73's?

Edit: I see you answered that question already, damned phone showed only some of the new parts but not the important ones lol

The hitch :
On each side of the hitch where it bolts to the frame rail, there are 2 "flanges", 1 on each side, with 2 holes drilled in each. These are simply parts of the hitch that they cut and "folded" the metal over, so as the hitch gets raised up under the truck, the "flanges" hit the bottom of the frame rail and the holes align with threaded holes on the bottom of the frame rail for the bolts that attach it.

I had these "flanges" cut off flush, and re-welded 3" lower. This allowed me to raise the hitch 3 more inches up under the truck, which closed the gap between the bumper and hitch created from the body lift.
