In the past few months since I've last updated my build I have:

-Sold the LED offroad lghts
-Removed bug guard
-Added Mark's 1.5" spacers
-Added a hitch mounted tow hook
-Bought Z71 rear suspension
-Bought Bilstien 4600 struts
-Replaced side mirrors with blinker mirrors and TXBlazer inserts

I'm also in the process of getting my PCM tuned by Jeremy at Lime Swap.
Thank you to everyone for the parts and reasonable prices over the last few months. It is greatly appreciated!!

I upgraded yesterday to the BFG KO2'S and couldn't be happier. They do great in the snow and dry pavement. And they aren't loud at all! One of the more better decisions I've made in a long time! These are 31.6" (265/75/16) on the sock plasti dipped wheels.

Just thought I'd check in. It's been 3 months since I've seen my truck. Right now I'm at Sheppard AFB TX, while my truck hibernates in a storage shed in Colorado.
