So far for the whole weekend of just simple local driving the spacers are pleasing. this weekend the truck will get some miles so ill know how the affect highway drivin as well. I contemplated a bodylift but can't justify the price for a 2" especially after knowing what it costed for a 3" for my Nissan.

Proline, I don't know the actual "model" of them but have the tag off the 1 box tucked somewhere. My wife loves the "DC-2" Dick Cepek wheels and they are kinda similar (and the Dick Cepek's don't come in a S-series lug pattern) so it makes her happy to! (Which is always important)

spacers didn't affect it's highway manners at all and the headlights are aimed a little better now from it. Did have an issue I believe was the coil I was able to swap when I got home (didn't bring one with me)

Scored a aluminum front skid of a SLE Jimmy today at the pick-a-part, got that on and am super happy! (I didn't take a pic yet but I'm sure people know what a factory skid looks like bolted on)

Aaaaand since I'm not doing anything at the moment, a couple updated pics


Rough Country UCAs installed, by by BJ spacers


The built up crap on the back side of the throttle body, had to scrape chunks off before cleaning it...


And that new chunk of happiness I got today bolted on!

Pulled the throttle body again today to give a follow up cleansing and decided to do the throttle plate cut

Didn't want to cut 100% of it off, because I could...

I love zerks fittings so grease will never be a problem! Think I need to hunt down a pair of longer shocks for the front now though too, I think I'm riding on them about topped out.
