Looks great so far, any more pics?

Dumb question, but if the truck going to be the same color as the truck? What kind of paint/clear?

Looks great!

Now might be the time to consider putting some exhaust holes in the crossmember if your thinking about lowering it....

I just put an exhaust on and don't like it hanging down there all exposed, wish I had done it.
