The truck looks alot better with the chrome grille gone.  Next will be deciding if I want a roll pan or the rear bumper painted.  Leveling kit and possibly the nerf bars go on tomorrow.

x2, rollpans are more of a street look, which does not fit your truck with those wheels/tires and thinking about raising the front for a level stance...a rollpan would work if you dropped the back and got different tires and made some other small changes

Thanks everyone.  I see what you guys mean about the roll pan being more street truckish.  I've just always loved the look of them regardless of what kind of truck they're on.  With that being said, I think I'm just going to paint.  It'd be the easiest thing to do.  If I got the roll pan I'd have to have the exhaust tips cut back and find a hidden hitch as I tow a jetski in the summer.  Love those roll pans though.
Had one on my last truck...


Mike,
That show in CT could be a possibility.  I'll have to meet up somewhere with you CT guys.

Had the leveling kit installed this morning.  Minor change.  I noticed a difference right away.

The '08 wheel flares left black would frame your wheels nicely.

Found a couple of pics with the flares on a yellow'08.
Should give you a good idea of what yours would look like.
Be aware that the flare kit does not come with the small piece for the front bumper. '06 & '08 bumpers are different.
