Bob, Are you planning on lowering the whole truck or only the rear to
level it?? As you probally already know I lowered mine 2/4". With the
rool pan on the back, it looks real trick. Thats a tough call my friend.
I'm sure the hood is gona look great. Glad to see these type of
decisions are not only keeping me up at night! My Stillen Bumper Cover
is on its way. Now I also have to decide on whats next. Xenon kit?
($800) 15" Sport Rover Tires? ($440) 17" Rims and Sport Rovers? ($1400
silver, or $2200 chrome, or Sound system? ($1500) I'm really struggling
here! And yes some of my spelling sucks! Whatever you choose, I'm sure
you'll enjoy it. Regards Bob Nichols
