I kind of like the full chrome since the door handles and all that are staying chrome.

I did it and it changes the look of the truck so much. I also did color match but also painted grill inserts black. I would do color match bars and leave the inserts chrome for yours.

The new trucks have handles that have a bezel thats chrome and body color on the front face...might look cool if you want to experiment with the plasti dip

ill be swapping wheels from time to time so keeping chrome so the 24 reps look good still

well when I move the rear axle back i put in new bumpstops to make sure nothing would rub and tomorrow going to remove the rear springs and rear bumpstops and jack up the axle until the rear fenderlip would hit the tire. At that point im going to measure from the axle to the frame and add 1/4 of a inch to be safe then cut the bumpstop accordingly. That way I get the most travel before anything touchs. I prob will trim the rear fenderlip on both sides just a little bit so tire can travel farther up and then trim the plastic wheel well liner where would hit the tire also so i can get full travel.
