Looks good! My last grille was Westin on my 4th Gen. Trakmotive axles?

Look at the Z36 Pads from Powerstop, also I would upgrade the front brakelines with SS while doing brakes and flush the system. Wilwood makes the brakelines.

Had a 2 stage buff job done at my local detailer in preparation for a ceramic coat.
Looks like a different shade of blue now. Fantastic look, but still some orange peel visible. Factory paint - what can you do ?
Bad news - they found some paint bubbling on a door edge, so ill have to get a dealer to look at it

Yeah yeah i know
Not sure what an amateurs photo will show, other than a blue truck, but i took one anyway. I took several of the bubbling paint area, but nothings visible in the pic. Ill try later when i can pull it inside the garage.

Looks like TrakMotive axles. I just got my driver side replaced with that. Hopefully will soon do my passenger side to match
They are designed for lifted applications too.

Orange peel is pretty normal from a production paint process. What can be done would not be worth it for a non show car . It could be wet sanded and re polished , but it might not be worth the risk (of burning thru too much clear) and the cost. I see the orange peel n my 24 but it doesn t bother me at all. This comes from someone who has spent days and weeks polishing Porsche paint to near perfection. I wouldn't be too concerned on a daily driven truck. Now the paint bubbles , we d have to see closeup pics.Had a 2 stage buff job done at my local detailer in preparation for a ceramic coat.

Are the 4th Gen ones compatible with 5th gens? I can't find any cross reference for 5th gens.Looks like TrakMotive axles. I just got my driver side replaced with that. Hopefully will soon do my passenger side to match

Trakmotive only shows on their site to 2019 - 2020 6 lug, but all 5th Gen same. Maybe not newest 2025

Appreciate the part number, @HSKR R/T…
Add in 76.00 in shipping to my location from Rock Auto and it is no longer a cheap part.
Anyone with experience with GSP CV’s? I found the same type, extended 0-4 inches of lift for 138.99 each and $10 shipping from parts geek. Looking at 288.00 shipped!

Damn, where do you live that they rape you that much in shipping? Was only $20 shipping for me

That is correct. Only one of two ways it’s getting to me…in a plane, or on a boat, either way costs some coin, and that’s IF they actually ship out here.
So, I’ll some times ship stuff to my stepdaughter in Nevada, and have her ship it to me, which has been economical for me, mainly because she’ll pay the shipping, and I’ll send her money for the grandkids.
And Amazon Prime…that’s a must have.
