I got my 2" Pro comp level kit today and I am really impressed. Love the leveled look.

Heres a before and after, huge difference IMO...

Before:


After:


So now I need help on what to do next? Tires? Rims? Tint? Exhaust?

Yes, all of that, and paint the inner headlamp and taillamp shells to look Harley/Raptor style, smoked brake light, then the truck mod requirements by law are done

Start with exhaust. Then tint, then the expensive change.

you look a little "bulldog" with that stance. my opinion: I liked the stock stance ... but it's your baby, glad you're happy.

Definitely rims & tires next.

Looks good.

I do exhaust then tint. It doesn't cost much to cut the muffler off and run some pipes out the back or some turn downs. And even if you just tint the front windows it's cheap.

Then get you some bigger TARS!

So what should I do with my exhaust and how much should that cost? Tint will be done here shortly...but for the "big change" I am undecided. Don't know whether I should go with the more offroad look or street...

Offroad look for sure, women love the tough look.

Just cut the muffler off and either dump it after the axle or go duals all the way out the back. Sounds great and not terribly loud. The nice thing is it's the cheapest way to go. If it's too loud you can always throw a muffler in there.

Since you lifted the front it seems you want an offroad look. I'd throw some 33" or 34" AT's on it.

Thanks, I'll probably get duals..it looks great and sounds great too! You think I should put some 33's with my stock 17's or go up to something like the stock FX4 rims?

Those aren't my favorite wheels so I'd have to change them, but if you like 'em keep 'em. There's no problem running 33's on your factory wheels.

Do you know anyone running 33's with my rims? I know alot of people running bigger tires with the FX4 rims but I haven't seen any with the XLT rims......

Thanks for the help!
