Wow, your truck is bad ass. I have a few questions for ya, I see Yours has the W/T package as well, did You take the factory wheel flares off of the truck or did it not come with them? Also, What are the specs on those tires? And how about that Ranch hand front guard, Does it block Your headlights at all? I wanted to get one but it seems that they are more marketed twards the guys with the composite headlight setup..

Looks great.

Just be careful if your stacks are rigid mounted to your bed. My buddy did a rigid mount and the mounts sheared right off. They need to be a flexible type mount or the mount or stack will crack. Which one will crack will be the weaker metal. I believe it's somethign to do with the force of the wind on the stacks, and with your being pretty high over the cab that won't help any with wind resistance.

Have a look in my garage and you'll see how i mounted my stacks.
