No doubt. Looks like I will be going that route. I have three C4's in my shop collecting dust. Surely between the 3 of them I'll find a winner !

Yeah i might want the bumper. How much are you wanting for it? Shipping will probably be a killer NC to Kansas but I really want to change my bumper to sport bumper and don't want to buy a new one. Anything new and shiny on my truck would look funny!! I don't know about the hitch, what about the brackets?

ROLL PAN PAINTED TODAY!!!
I think it turned out great but its still drying haha

most people weld the ends of the pan to the bedsides but i chose just to rivet it together at the bottom with some tabs provided with it, so the gap matches the tailgate to bedside gap. later down the road id like to get the bedside gap filled along with a few other custom touches then id prolly have it welded

Looks great, now it needs lowering to complete the smooth performance appeal. :D

Errrr... now I said the word "lowereing" and it makes me want to lower mine even worse. :cry:

idk i hope not.

i think ezernut9mm did the flip with cut coils and his sits about level. im hopin mine will be a lil lower in the front or at least level because the front tires are shorter than the rears
