Oh and I wouldn't go buy Hella black headlights, they are infamous for leaks. I have a new set sitting in a box next to me right now actually, lol. I think I would paint the stockers before buying the Hella lights.
Get a programmer if you haven't decided to already, it's like a whole new truck

Yes please, find out for me.

I think I will try the headlight mod this weekend, get my buddies wife to cook them up for me... she cusses me all the time anyways for eating dinner over there all the time, so cooking some headlights should be a welcome change

Btw great looking truck chris. I'd swap leveling kits though. It will ride much better.

Bilstein (sp?) makes a shock replacement which lifts the truck 2" great kit, and rides awesome, really makes the truck ride solid. I had the spacer for 1 week, I didnt like it switched to the shocks much better!

$65 for the FX2 grille insert in Lexington. I haven't looked at prices so I have no idea what they normally run. He doesn't want to ship so I'd have to pick it up and ship it to you. I have no idea what shipping would cost but it's very light.

Last time I shipped a grille it was about $35 via UPS Ground.

Thanks for looking into it for me, but with the $35 shipping I can get one cheaper off of ebay...lol, never thought I would say that.

So, grille has been ordered...gonna try the headlight mod this weekend.

No problem for me. I just remembered that he had the grille sitting in his storage unit, figured I'd check it out.
