New pics!! Leveled, 35's, Debadged.
Well I finally got everything done last night. I put the Top Gun Customz 2" leveling kit on it with Bilstein 5100 all around. What a gigantic PITA. If I knew it was going to be such a pain, I would've waited until I got an air compressor. I wouldn't recommend this unless you have air tools, more than one jack and two jackstands. I would compare this to putting a complete 5" lift kit on my old 99 1500 Ram using air tools. I must say, evertime I get in it, and everytime I look at it, it was all worth it. I love the way it looks now!

Looks awesome man. Cant wait to get mine done like that. Still tossing the idea of debadging though. Everytime I see one debadged though I like it more and more.

Thanks for all of the positive feedback guys. I think it'll be a long time until I buy anything else for the truck. 07CTD4x4 If you're going to debadge it, I'd do it soon. I had a hell of a time taking my gooey stuff off the back, but I've heard it's pretty easy to just take off with your fingers on the new trucks.

I didn't even have to wax mine. I did get kinda upset halfway through it and broke out a credit card to start scraping it off. Good thing it didn't scratch anything. After I got it off, I washed it and nothing was faded at all. It looked like it came that way.

The install would be much easier if you have air tools and two floor jacks. If you have these things it shouldn't take you more than 2 hours total. I used hand tools and happened to break my "Snap-Off" ratchet in the process. Now I have to find a Snap-On dealer around here to get it replaced for the 3rd time. The kit just has the 2" spacers that fit ontop of the coils. I did take someone's advice when I had it aligned, which was have them put as much caster allowed by the manufacturer.
Shane, where the heck did you find that guy riding the alpaca???

Looks like a great truck! I like the idea of the white headlight housings, but the turn bay needs something. Looks too big and open there to me, but that's just a personal preference.
Great job!
Great job!
