    Yea man, just leave it on. Don't just take it off, to do something different to the truck. If you actually get a new bumper though, that'd be cool

    im gonna get the bumper made late in the year cause i wanna get a lift soon

    this week im gonna get a sub. Then the next 2 weeks ill be getting the lightning heads and save the rest of the money up for the 3 1/2 inch spindle lift kit.

    by the way my magazine says rough country makes a 3 1/2 inch spindle lift BUT i cant find it on their site if someone can find a good deal on one for me or the rough country one that would be cool

    i think rough country discontinued their spindles, go with doetsch and a 2" block and you'll sit level

    i don't know much about wheels and tires and i may be wrong about this but anything with a negative? offset and some wide tires. my tires are 265/75/16's and my rims have 4.25" backspacing 8 inches wide and the spindles pushed my wheels out about an an inch and a half
