Looks like the inside corners of the bumper pads have scuffs, thats way i said that, also why would you want to park close to any wall besides fitting in your garage, just asking, nothing more.

Because this truck is freakishly big. Everywhere I go I'm getting close and personal with either a car or a wall. The parking garage at work is another place I have to pull up as close as possible to the garage wall.

The pads have light scuff marks. The center of the bumper has deep scratches. I covered it with some 3M charcoal grey metallic wrap I had left over (it was an almost perfect match), but the wrap came off as the bumper hit the wall.

I'm all for looking pretty, but I need to bump with my bumper...

I just got the flag stickers in the mail and was also disappointed with the logo on the flag, but I found a good way to hide it.

Good job!

How was the install? I am fixing to do the same in a few weekends. Are those the +3 deavers?

Deaver +2

Nothing difficult, just time consuming, you will need patience and muscle power :baby: couple bolts require 200ft/lb over.

Tips:
1. lower the exhaust to clear passenger side spring bolt! Much much faster than cutting the bolt. For those guys claimed they cut off the bolt in 2 minutes, you must have the biggest sawzall in the whole world :ROFLJest: The driver side bolt tooks me 30 minutes with Bosch saw blade for heavy duty metal.

2. At least one helper! Third is a big plus, very useful when mounting the new HEAVY leaf packs.

3. DO it!! Big ride improvement!

I put Method NV's wrapped with 35" Toyo AT II's on and installed a 30" curved bar behind the grill. Didn't have time to take pics. Hopefully I will get a few tomorrow. The ride is awesome and the light is blinding.

I could've made a Vine video of me cutting the bolt. It was easy. Just apply pressure with both hands and have a person to turn the speed up on the saw as you cut. Start at the slowest speed and stay inside your cut.

Also, when cutting the driver side bolt, a license plate works perfect to slide inbetween where you're cutting the bolt and the lip of the skid plate under the gas tank. Protects from any sparks and if you lose control of the saw you won't pierce your tank.
