Well I went crazy I hated those stupid flaps on the side of the truck and how low the bumper was so I cut them, there was no issue on rubbing or anything like that but i feel it gives it a more aggressive look. and if my car sells on ebay ill get the lift kit all at once, thanks for the heads up on the rain, Ill drive it safely. and the noise is not bad I am kind of deaf so it doesnt bother me at all.
