What do you have between the fenders and the bedside. Is the felt there, or did you just mount them straight to the metal side?

You never answered my questions. ahaha... Do you have the felt between stepside fenders and the bed, or is it just metal on metal there?

The front consist of 2in drop spindles, and 1in cups for the airbags. The rear has a mild c-notch with bags. Rides awsome.

WOW

Can you take a closeup of the brakes through the rims? I like the matching color...did you use high heat clear or just a caliper paint that matched well?

Sorry for my ignorance...I googled it real quick, but the prospray came up as a std paint...is what you're using high temp? So you just mix it to match the code of your paint? Would that hold up better than a std bc/cc on an engine or is it overkill?

THe paint is standard but the clear is high temp. Had it on before, never had problems.
