yea I've been wanting color matched door handles since i bought this truck 2-years ago lol they look SOO much better than the black ones on the truck but ive just been too buisy spending money on everything else lol you know how it is when there is just sooo much you want to do. appreciate your thoughts though man.

LOL yea! definately a 4x4 actually had to get the front driveshaft lengthened since it was a full 12" drop on the diff. I'm not a fan of 2x4 trucks that are lifted I don't like to put down on them becuz alot of people have them but i myself wouldn't do that to a 2x4 just personal preference. love the color of your truck man!

thanks man. my biggest problem with the 6" was that it wasn't a very good kit. although it was a 6" lift it only dropped the differential 4" which left my cv angles,upper/lower control arm angles, tie rods,ball joints etc. at bad angles causing more wear and tear along with a harsh ride so ive had my mind set on getting rid of it for a long time. not to mention it just kept shrinking the more i looked at it lol. having lifted truck is the equivalent to having a fast truck. you constantly want more hp more tq. first you add the intake then exhaust then tune then cam then when thats not enough headers then forced induction lol and you just can't get enough of it

Does the truck go offroad? Yes it does. Doea it go offroad on a day to day basis? No. Did I loft the truck so it will go through 4ft deep water? No. The truck cost a lot of money and I don't have the money to throw at it when I tear it up offroad. So I go every now and then and also have pulled a many people out but I dnt go near as much as I use to for the simple fact its a pain in the *** to clean afterwards. Once I'm done modding my truck I plan on buying a older truck with a SFA to put in the mud bogs. As for the tire comment the truck will have 41's or bigger after christmas.
