Not trying to be a dick, but those axles look horrible. Why not take the time and take them apart and actually display what your shop can actually do?

I like everything about the truck, must just be my OCD kicking in about the axles I suppose, mainly where the diff cover is painted on the rear just looks "cheap" to me.

Its a showpiece though. He said they're in a hurry and on top of that i gag every time I see a shiny al or chrome diff cover. It takes me back to a chevy with ifs a 454 and 9" of lift to clear a 35

I don't see how it looks cheap, but yes it's different than every other truck you see with either a G2, ATS or Mag-hytec covers. From the beginning I've had the plan to add the OE finned aluminum cover to the rear, or going with PMF covers for both. I'm undecided.

Thanks for the props guys. I've still got more work to do.

Next up is the PMF fabricated front 4 link upgrade and new shocks.

Shone when are you going to recreate the stance on your king ranch? The stance AFTER the lift.

I couldn't stand the stock exhaust tailpipe any longer, so off it went and threw on a 5" tip. Also ditched the spare to start making room for the compressor and tank for the load leveling bags. I'll also have a hook up for an air hose to help with any flats/low tires when towing my boat or enclosed.

Yea. The 33/22 leveled. Looked so damn good! That is still the most complete, done, a truck has been yet to date.
