Looks great! Had mine a month and already debadged it. Gotta see about the wheel emblems though. Any tips on the center caps. Haven't really looked at them too closely. But one of my co-workers was on me yesterday asking when the whell emblems would go. Been looking at doing a Belltech 2" front spindle drop and 3" in rear with shackles and removing the factory spring spacer.... But now, I kinda like the look with the larger tires and leveling kit. Decisions, decisions.

Do you you have active fuel management? How does it sound when it flips to V4 mode with the exhaust? I've heard that with Flowmasters it sounds funky. How 'bout the Magnaflow?

For the wheel centers I just got a carboard tube that was the same diameter as the painted area. Put it over it, and spray paint stripper down in there. I did this probably 4 times for each center. Rinse with water in between.

The magnaflow sounds fine in 4 and 8 mode.

Stock shocks, and rides just like stock. The spacers have no effect on the ride.

From which company you got your leveling kit. I ordered one before but Needed to cut the shocks bolts to make them fit.
