Is it as easy as using a heat gun and stretching and smoothing the 3m vinyl over the pieces then trimming with a razor blade, it looks much classier with it over the wood grain. Would look to do this in my 2008 as I dislike the wood grain very much so.

insulators on these things are big. I just wrap heater hose on top and bottom coils on them but the oem ones give the truck a 13/16 lift

Finished cutting the drivers bracket put the belltechs in along with the djm links. Rig rides nice and came down 4.25 inches..... but its not low enough for me Ill post up pics with the rear dropped tomorrow. Im planning to do the swaybars and front drop this weekend. I have a feeling ill be putting in my custom spring in rear and getting rid of the autoride to slam it.

26" tires came in today also.
