Thanks for the comments here is just a couple quick pics of the truck with the stock front end and 22s... Still have a lot of work ahead of me cleaning up the engine bay and some other minor details im just being picky about but so far off to a good start. Need to find a cold air intake that fits, gonna try a Volant and see how that works. Exhaust is done and with the cutout open still sounds the same and loud as ***! lol. New front end should be painted and on in a couple weeks as well as the back bumper color matched. Need to decide what drop to go with, thinking a Ground Force 2/4. Havnt got on it at all but motor sure feels like it has plenty of torque. Cant wait to start on the turbo(s) system and the rest of the power train to see how the truck really runs!

I'm running the same wheels and tires with a 3/5 drop. No issues yet and have been doing boosted launches in 4x4!

Good to know and actually cool that you posted that as I want the look you have as far as drop. Looks clean

I cleaned up the engine bay and the Volant intake fits pretty good. Ill take better pics of it during the day and of the whole truck when I get back to the states from my mini vacation. Got my monochromatic all terrain grille in too so just need the bumpers painted or powder coated and that will be done...
