Nice man. I dont know the body lift and spacers look a little too high for my tastes.
+1 for the switches below the air controls. I was gonna put mine there but i have my Sirius there. Haha
I think if you got the new 06 mirrors on it would look really good.
Did you get new wheel spacers? They look like they stick out more from the last pic i saw of yours

Nice. It looks much fuller with the spacers. Im sure the mirrors will look awsome on it too.
How many watts are your lights total?
Im gettin 2 55watt ones for xmas
(nothing fancy some cheapo wal-mart lights, just for a little more light when i go snowboarding and to help balance out the light im loosing when i tint my headlights)
Im eventually going to be getting 2 subs and an amp 600watts all the way round. So im looking at a new alternator .... but thats after the lift and wheels and tires and mirrors and clearance lights .. lol
A second battery should be neat. Keep me updated on how that works.

you dont need a new altenator for the lights and that amp i have two 150watt eagle one lights and a 800watt amp with two 12's and my volt meter hardly ever moves i would just get a 1 farad lightning cap for the amp and you will be fine

i meant to post this up wayy back but i meant to add that when you flip it over you might wanna go get some Styrofoam blocks...i made mine from scraps from the packaging of my new tv....and wedge em inbetween the bumper cover and bumper...it keeps the plastic bumper from sinking when you put weight on it
