The short answer for the plasti dip is: yes. I think it'll match up your truck better because your side mirror housings are black. The beauty about plasti-dip is you can easily peel it off if you don't like the look (do a search on it in the forums, it's everywhere).
Okay, since i can peel it of if i dont like it i think ill be doing that pretty soon then! thanks!
As for shocks/struts, others who actually have the Bilstein 5100 setup can chime in on where they got it from, but needless to say, a search on this forum will bring up tons of results. I personally got the Walker Evans 2.5" setup from AllPro Offroad, installed it myself, and am now enjoying it. Again, hindsight is 20:20, but if I could do it all over again, I'd have just done the Bilstein 5100 setup and would have been plenty happy, or if I wanted to go 'all in', would have sprung for a set of Fox remote reservoir shocks.
Can you give me a link to the exact ones. I think i am going to get the bilsteins. (Sorry i just don't want to order the wrong thing on accident) and should i just get it for the front? And i have also hear a spacer would be a good idea for these in the front.
For rock sliders, look up Demello, I've heard nothing but good things from them, and they have a bolt-on model, but that will run you $475 in bare metal (+$75 for powder coating), and whatever shipping is...
That is very expensive. How does the total including installation look compared to the one that has to be welded?
The bolt on is more $$ upfront, but you won't have to bother with finding a welding shop, paying them for ~2 hours of labor, and in the end, you have something that you can't remove unless you have a plasma cutter
