Thanks man. It's pretty close, but I'd like it to sit just a tad higher. As it is right now, the upper spring can compress about another inch before it's done, and I'd like to have a bit more room there. I think it's the smart call to just swap to the 400's and run a lot less preload. Weekend project!

Appreciate the offer! It's already got 2" spacers on there in the pic...but the 6" rear glass makes it look like it skipped leg day. I'm gonna swap to 4" rear glass to better match the front fenders, so hopefully that'll help a lil bit.

It's mostly a weekend driver, so no on the roads too much :-) I'm up north.

Had a fun little day trip out to Barstow. Had a chance to put around and get a feel for the new steering, new spring rates/coilovers, etc... Truck ran great, no issues and drove it home. Good times!

Awesome build man! Starting my back half soon. Have all the parts! I love your aluminum inner fenders.

I had to replace my drivers side door handle cable, so figured while I was in there, might as well toss some fat mat and MLV in the door to cut down on road noise (did both doors). Works pretty well!

Swapped some of the Autofab 5" Vessels front fenders onto the rig today. Really happy with the extra tire coverage, and as always, Autofab quality is second to none.

Comparison between the 5" and 3" front fenders:

Yes looking very, very nice. Never paid much attention before, but I really dig the front & rear bumpers. Now that I'm in the market I may have to borrow a bit from them if you don't mind.

Thanks Jim! I'm really happy with the rear bumper...the license plate flips down for a tow hitch as well. Something similar would look great on your rig.
