I also added an all red LED 3rd brake light. I wired it so when the brake is on, all the LEDs light up.

Looks good but get you a small tie strap to hold the brake line up by the rear leaf springs. That drives me crazy on a lowered truck to see that hanging down.

Nice bro! I like seeing a lowered truck that doesn’t sag in back. Well done.

I've tucked it up as much as I can... Not sure if I can get it any higher

Looks good! Is there a bit of rake towards the front?

Helper bags in the rear aired up in the pics because I just made a trip to ikea. It's perfectly level if I let the air out. When I get real pics I'll let it out.

Seriously tho, besides putting lotion on its skin, what is used to tuck it higher ? Zip ties ? Going any higher put too much stress on the line or fittings ?

I zip tied it up a little higher, but it can't hide completely

Looks good Nathan. Any thoughts on doing the 2012+ 2500HD bumper too?

Thought about it, but because my bumper is already color matched, I think I'm gonna keep it like this. That 2500 bumper is HUGE...

I'll change it if someone pulls out in front of me...
