Ah, that makes sense. I've seen people cover their vehicles in cardboard, too. But if that big hail comes down, very hard to prevent damage.

Congrats! Do you get excessive amounts of hail where you live? Going to be tough to protect your truck though. Best bet would be to throw a thick blanket over the truck if you notice a big storm coming. Sure, you could get some PPF or something, but that's not really meant to prevent dents...

Price is real high... but I can understand why. But double the cost of a traditional kit will be a harder sell for the majority of the market. Hopefully as the tech gets more standard it starts to come down. I'd love to run a set on my truck to see what it's really like and if all the hype is...

Heck yeah. Can't wait to see this thing in the rocks. The oil change really isn't a big deal. I've done it on a buddy's truck. Sure, extra work, but comes with the territory of having a built truck.

Pretty legit for the price! Under $400 without a harness/switch. About $100 more if you add them. Not bad. Especially if you catch a sale.

I would find/call a local tuner and ask them directly. They will be able to tell you right away. @Quez can you help us out? But I can tell you that it won't be enough. I have run AGM/deep cycle batteries in the past, and they all died halfway through their service life. I've gone decently deep...

You might be able to ask a local tuner if their software allows you to increase alternator output voltage. It was possible in the 3G. Otherwise, some creative wiring might need to be done. But you are correct. Otherwise, you will kill your battery faster. Ask me how I know...

Just disconnect the battery when you work on anything. Don't even turn the accessory power on until you're done and you should be okay. I have a C4 hybrid (full width) and I was fine after a much more involved install. I've been happy with it so far!

I did the same thing. Couldn't be happier! I have a few complaints, but not the end of the world.

Thanks for sharing! Glad to see more people on 37s. Fitting them is really not that bad.

Shaving the calipers is next level commitment, lol. Don't tell the people on Reddit, they'll lose their minds. Like they did when I told them I cut my frame for my new rear bumper...

You don't have to take it off. Or maybe I did extra work. I took off the whole cover. I believe you need to, so you can gain access. But in short, I just bolted it up (the face of lights sat against bumper), got it as close as I could, and put the cover back on.

That's what Brenan's truck has if you wanted to reference something.

Post it up when you do. Let Goose Gear know, maybe they make a variant in the future?

I would stick with OEM, or find out who makes them, and order that supplier brand. It will be the same thing. The coatings can work, yeah. A real ceramic coating would help the most. Small chips can be watched or filled. Anything that cracks, unless it's a small bull's eye, usually needs a...
