Not gonna lie your truck has always been my ideal DD set up always looks good. Just wondering why you're going 8 on 35s? instead of staying at a 6 like BDS?

because 6" wont clear 35's properly like the 6(8") fabtech does. Plus the fabtech is awesome

Truck looks so much better now, and is going to look sweet with that fabtech kit, question how are you fitting 12's under your backseat?

The key is in the box. Two 12 deep subs will fit under there, you just need a well-designed box. Shit kicks hard too.

Truck is awesome, taking that horribly ugly thing off the front made all the difference in the world.

Not bad honestly. Am extremely worried about putting the 80lb toyo's and losing some power.
