Your rig is sick by the way nmex...I had all the dough put away to get the calmini but I just decided not to pull the trigger. Hopefully I don't regret it.

Thanks, I appreciate that. Yeah, drop brackets aren't the best, but coupled with decent supporting parts, I'd say they're OK, especially on this platform.

With my new (same. but correct bolt pattern) wheels, I'm wondering if I may need to get a set of small spacers up front due to the brakes. Good to know I've got options.

Yea Jegs had about the best selection I could find. Gonna have to see if I have to replace the studs. With the drop bracket I could see the $$$ pile up, new uca's, larger wheels and tires. In the end though it looks like it would be worth it. Maybe later down the road.

Looks awesome. I have to wait until we finish our cross country move before I'm allowed to lift mine I'm so glad you posted a pic, I haven't seen too many brick red pathys like mine and it's nice to see what it looks like. It looks like you have the emblems on the back blacked out? If you get a spare minute I would LOVE to see a close up of those. Trying to convince my husband that we should plastidip. He's hesitant since he doesn't know what it will look like on the red.

Here is the best I have on hand of the badges on the back. Sorry for the bad lighting. I hadn't seen many red brick on here either but I'm living the color combo with the black. Besides its plasti dip so if I don't like it I'll tear it off lol.



Edit: you can kinda see it here too

The black on the back piece (hatch handle cover thingy...) looks fantastic. SO much better than the chrome.

[yeager51]

Thank you... That looks so sick. The slate pathy we were going to get was bought out from under us so the red was the only one they had left. I really like the black on it. I'll have to keep an eye out for you, we're GA too

[Touchdown]

The truck looks awesome!

Take some pics and show us the difference with the wider stance if you can.

omg, best meme ever!

The Black on red looks really good. I wonder what the roof rails would look like in black? I have been thinking about this for a while.

omg, best meme ever!

Hey Doc, you where hte first person, I thought about, when I saw this.

[WDE08]

Lol that meme is awesome. I wanna dip the roof rails and rear bumper step but I plan on ordering a roof basket so I may wait and see first.

[akley88]

we had the same dislike of that fake chrome pieces on the back. i dipped mine too.

HELL YES!!!!!!!!

Welp, bad news bears, stock studs aren't long enough to fit 1/2" wheel spacers. Now I'm on a mission to find longer studs to make this application happen. Here's to hoping I didn't waste $120 on spacers I can't install.
