Yep thats the truck in question, and the more and more i think about it stacks are out.

But the roll bar i wanted to do is similar to this one but i was gonna do it in a way that i dont wast any bed space. It is gonna be custom built like the one here, but the 2 front hoops would come up from the steps and be tighter to one another than these. And the kicker would connect to the bed cap near the tailgate.

my opinion, the flareside beds do look good with a roll bar, the stacks would look kinda lame. only issue would be youd loose some bed space

My vote is for roll bars. I think stacks look better on larger trucks, and going with both would make it look too cluttered.

Keep your to yourselves. Im not asking for your opinions on my truck, like I would value it anyway. He asked for opinions on his truck. Dont like it screw off. Last time I checked ,it was in my name so If I want to paint it pink , run the headers through the hood and put a Bee Gee's mural on the hood , thats my deal. Dont be a keyboard warrior and come back at me with more negative BS. Just drop it.

Well said. Why not just buy EVERYTHING in the JC whittney catalog and put it on to? Because more is better, right?

With a step side, wouldn't the stacks be put on like on "the little red wagon" that Dodge had?


So no bed space used up. BUT I think you need a lot more motor to make stacks sound good. Cuz on that pickup they won't look good.

Wow... This has got to be the most cranky posting I've seen in a long time. Obviously this guy isn't comfortable with anyone commenting on his opinion on what looks good.

Dude, if you can't handle getting feedback on comments you post on a public forum, I strongly suggest you stay off the web.
