Looks good all around. I'd love to find one of those minus the side cladding. Problem is I don't think you can get the 8.1 without the cladding

Thanks! I actually am a fan of the cladding. I think you are right though, the 2500 may have only come cladded. We use it for camping/plowing/etc and the cladding has already proved its worth on more than one occasion in regards to protecting the body. I think one of my next steps is going to be to truck bed line all the cladding as it is started to look faded. It's currently in the shop due to a front alignment issue so it may just be getting a leveling kit and upgrade to 33's.

Leveled and 285/75/16's(almost a 33" tire) installed:

Removed the running boards, I like the look without them better.
Wife is not happy, she needs help to get in now.

Nothing crazy, but I got my new bug and stone guard installed. You really have to look close, it blends in well with the front lines.
Also totally not off road related, but I'm pulling the cub scouts float in the upcoming Halloween parade so I picked up some cheap under body color/pattern changing LED's that are music reactive and also a knight rider style scanner for the front grill. Zipped tied everything in place for easy removal later.
