Dare to be a little different man, without making it look weird I say!
I think it looks great the way it is now, period.
yes, still putting the JG bumper on, that project is on a small hold as I am completing another project at this time. After I spaced my bumper up, I would use a 1500 series bumper cap. I currently dont have one.

yes, and I should clarify, I get very little weight transfer now(2500HD leaf pack), however I have two options: First: I have a 1500series leaf pack I can use, or Second: I could remove the existing overload spring on my 2500HD leaf pack in conjuction with drop brackets/shackles.

if you swap over to the 1500 leafs then thats going to drop your truck some there and it would help weight transfer. how much heavier is the 2500hd than the 1500? how many springs does your stock pack have?

i know if you take the bottom spring out on a 1500 truck it will transfer weight really well. i would prob. take out the second spring and see how it sits. the second one from the bottom.

leave it as is. with the chrome rims. get some painted door handles and everything, and you'd be looking really good IMO
