[@CustomOffsetsTV]

EXACTLY

[@erick._150]

Mad respect to you guys at Custom Offsets, I also prefer custom built exhausts and hate straight pipes. You can make a loud exhaust if you buy the right muffler. Plenty out there like Borla, Carven, Corsa, etc. I have Dynomax Mini Race Bullets which are $25 mufflers and they’re as loud as a straight pipe. Headers also wake up the exhaust. Throw in an X or H pipe, duals and you’re good to go.

[@joeflyers3816]

If you get the rear wheel liners with a body lift it hides the gap nice

[@Z-Ack]

Thats not the point.. the point is body lifts are useless and offer no perks for doing it. Suspension lifts give you clearance and dont stress the wiring and ride.. but is always watching a truck with a 6" body lift get stuck in a mud puddle.. then the 2" suspension lifted truck come pull em out..

For a street truck that sees offroad in the points of percentages of its life your throwing away millions of dollars of engineering of the suspension. Locking differentials are a way better option to keep ride handling and give offroad prowess. Body lift then suspension if you need it and dont go cheap either. A crappy suspension lift will make you wish you had bought a dump truck.

Spacers are fine if you get the kind that bolt onto the hub abd have studs of their own.
