The XD monsters I want have the -12 offset but looks like a 10 inch rim. Will that be alright?

PERFECT!!! No messing around at all. Hold it up there and it fits. I never cut / trimmed a thing.

Thanks

Awesome! Well they look great in your pics! I can't believe we pay 50k+ for a truck than add another 6k for lift, tires, wheels and goodies!

The only hard part of the bushwacker install is the front. 7 of the 10 factory clips broke when I tried to take the bolts out. Makes the bolt pretty hard to get out. It is next to impossible to get new clips back on the felt like material (without taking the fender off!). I ended up putting the new clips right on the fender for the most part. Crappy clips almost look like they are designed to BREAK!

Thanks
I know what you mean about the speed nuts, (clips). When I put on my Luverne mud flaps, those clips were a pain in the fingers. That was about all I could get in there to finish taking them off. I agree that they were designed to break. A real POS!! Did you remove the factory running boards or just not order them? I kept wondering what looked different and then it dawned on me. DUH! No running boards. Looks good.

I removed the factory running boards and put on the AMP Research power steps. They tuck right under, you can't even see them. I (personally) like the no runnign board look.

Thanks

I found the parts I need. Now I need the 4th weekend to end so I can get some emails answered from the businesses. Still debating to lift or not lift.

The more I think about this, the more I am likely to just get the RCD level kit and call it a day!

LOL, I have the cash but am thinking twice now. My old lady told me yesterday that if I go through with the lift and mods, I better keep the truck for a while (as it is not unusual for me to sell something once I "finish" it). I told her that I could not promise her haha. No problem on the Top Gunz item.

I hear ya loud and clear. Up here the ridiculous CANADIAN window sticker on my truck was $77,209.00!!! Once my wife notices the goodies and finds out what they cost the 75k I am into this thing for is going to seem cheap compared to the divorce!

Happy July 4
