trucks going under the knife

when i replaced my old non-sport grill i had to buy the new sport grill support. the two are almost the same size but the new one has bolt holes for the bottom of the sport grill. picked it up from LMC for $70. i bought the grill from 1A auto for $125 shipped
 
got the nitrous

just picked up a ZEX kit with 10lb bottle

update.
i took off the entire airride suspension, dually setup and went back to a srw leaf springs. im doing a flip kit plus shackles in the rear and lowering control arms plus lowering coil springs in the front. this will give a 5/7 drop

this is my goal minus the color

Just seems like a bunch of money to waste...When you spend that much changing, and swapping and buying parts your fuel savings profits go right out the window...
 
i prefer lowering the 2wds myself but only to level it with the front. IMO but your trucks is lookin good man, keep up the good work.

say i spend $200 buying parts to get me 2mpg, were fuel is probably going to be $5. i drive 300-400 miles a week. so i dont see it being a waste. but thanks for your kind words
 
heres the semi-finished turn out. i still need to paint it and i may still lower it some more
