:rolleyes: You know my modding is less than quick most of the time :rofl: Should be a real good yawner by the time it's said and done.

Just bought some minor things for it today (tailgate handle, air filter,...) but tomorrow I'm going to go get some new rocker panels. Got a small amount of rust on both rockers and gonna nip that in the bud before it goes any further.

I've also got a list of stuff to buy that I'm gonna have colormatched (grill, bumpers, mirrors, handles, lower air dam,...).

May debadge it this weekend. Got a super busy weekend coming up, tho, so we'll see.

Also making a list of maintenance items I need/want to replace when I go to lower this thing. Ball joints (Moog), hubs (Timken), drilled/slotted rotors, pads, shocks (bilstein) and probably tie rods. And I think I've decided to go 3/5 on the drop. Will rock my current wheels and tires for the time being because they are essentially brand new on the tread so I'll at least rock them through this next winter even if I do get it lowered before then and then see where we are in the spring or next summer. Got a lot to do between now and then anyway lol

The nice thing about lowering is that you can rock the same wheels and tires and it doesn't look goofy. If you lift a truck 6" and keep it on stock tires it looks like it missed leg day.
