Icon lift and wheels...there is no suspense in that pallet of suspension 
The only thing we are curious about is what wheels you chose...they sure as heck aren't chrome
Tell the shop to work faster...

Pictures as promised
Okay guys, here you go. It's the Icon 4.5" lift with piggy back shocks and 4 links on 37's. Before you start poking holes in the build the fifth picture is a picture of the wheels that are on order. They will be here in a couple of weeks. The Rockstars are for sale. For all the fender flair haters, I kind of agree but they do look good with the red. The chrome nerf bars are going away as soon as I get the Amp Power steps.
The pictures don't do the truck justice. It got big. The 37's clear everything.
The ride with the 4link is great. Thanks to Cary at CT Performance for hooking me up with all these great parts. The Icon system is the real deal. The components are huge and very high quality. The 2.5" shocks will blow you away when you see them.

That turned out excellent...I like black flares on a red truck, so I vote to keep them. Red would look nice as well. Up to you...
Can you get a shot of the rear? I want to see the block. Also, can you post a pic of the front track bar? Is your axle centered with that lift using their track bar (from side to side)?

It did get big! I think that if you leave the fenders black, you should paint the horizontal grille bars red and the two small vertical pieces black.
But it still looks great, regardless.

I'll get some photos up for you prob. tomorrow. Just got done with my Member Guest golf tournament, in recovery mode at the moment.
The truck is going into the alignment shop tomorrow. Axel does need to shift over about an inch. Track bar is massive and adjustment should be fairly simple.

Here are some of the pictures you guys wanted to see. The last picture has the new block stacked on top of the stock block. I added that block back in because I didn't like the stance, the back looked a bit lower than the front now it looks correct to me.

That looks great! Thanks for the pics. I don't understand the rear block...it looks like they "stacked" a couple of blocks on the driver's side rear, but not the passenger's side? I run off road too much, so I wouldn't feel comfortable stacking blocks. I love the track bar and shocks. They really look awesome! You have to love the new look!

Yes, I love the new look and ride of the truck. The alignment shop does a ton of lifted trucks and they said this was a great kit I put on the truck. They also said a bunch of trucks do not have a adjustable track bar and it's never right without one. So, anyone reading this make sure you get an adjustable track bar,and if you want a nice bonus get the 4 link setup.
