Very nice stance. How are you liking the 285/75/R17 upgrade? I also have the rc fender flares and going to be updating my wheels to a zero offset with a westcott collar lift. Hopefully i don't need to do any cutting. Did you have to do?

Looks amazing. Have you installed the front bumper yet? Did you have to readjust the front shocks for the additional weight? Have you had any problems with the safety systems and sensor with all these changes?

Front seems to be sitting a bit high so this might level it out. No safety/sensor issues. Those are in the upper area by fog lights so if you want to keep things simple these covert bumpers are the best choice.

Did you get a moose? In Washington??

Colorado moose. Amazing animals.

Tires look great but are a noticeable weight gain over the lighter 33s. MPG sucks paired with the tiny tank. Check youtube for icons tire fitment guide. Great resource. 0 Offset kills fitment. 22 ish would fit much better. I had to trim front and back and get an alignment pushing caster out to plus 5. Either on here or TW I posted about it but message me for for specifics.

Finally got it installed. Took a bit longer than expected. Wired the lights into the auxiliary pigtails at the front.

Looks good. What winch are you running and more importantly (to me) how much clearance did you have on either side? I bought a Harbor Freight winch on sale to go with the CBI Super Stock Covert bumper but won't have the bumper for another month or so. The HF winch is 2 inches wider (23" vs 21") than the Warn VR EVO 10-S that most everyone seems to install to so I'm a bit nervous about the fit.

Since I got the DV8 bumper i thought getting their winch would be the best option. Got into the instructions and even they used a harbor freight winch that's much less money and looks higher quality. However It is 21" . Only potential issue is some hard lines on the sides of the winch and my bumper came with extra brackets in case that is an issue. There's alot of room and you shouldn't have a problem.

Thanks! That makes me feel better. I pulled down their instructions and you're right, looks like plenty of room.

Can you reach the freespool lever or are you stuck using the motor to let line out?

There is no room at all on this one. I left it engaged and attached a wireless remote for operation.

Awesome build. We have very similar trucks. Except mine is a long bed and I did the Icon triple rate springs.

Do you get any clunking or thumping while going up a steep grade while turning steering? Or while entering a somewhat steep driveway off of the road ?
