I think if you could just bring the nose up a bit it would be perfect.

I was looking at it a little bit............tossing the 5100s vs the BL. I think with the beefcakiness of the tires, a BL would be better than .8" more lift in the front - and taking the chance of a lovely vibration in 4wd. The BL is also cheaper, easier to do, and gets me higher. LOL

Much better! Sweet talk that painter or yours into painting your chrome bumpers.

I already have my cost on that.
New bumpers............I wouldn't paint these. both have a couple small dinks in them. So, new bumpers, in primer. $400-$480. Paint, $200.
What sucks..........I know we will have the bumpers off when we do the BL. BUT, I just don't want to drop another $700 right now. I just dropped over 2 grand in the past month into her, with the new wheels / tires / head unit. I hate to say it, I almost like the chrome.

Powder coating? Mine only cost me $200 and I'm sure they could probably match the silver.
