I personally prefer the stock look of those wheels rather than the matte black, although on that truck it works and looks great. It ties in the rest of the de-chrome parts perfectly.

I custom ordered a Laramie night edition and my least favorite thing is the matte black wheels. I just don't think it works on the darker paints like my granite crystal metallic. I almost went with silver for a better contrast but I fell in love with the granite crystal metallic. I plan on going with a smaller wheel/ bigger tire anyway so the blacked out wheels weren't a deal breaker.

Sorry man, IMO, i think you've ruined it... you had an amazing looking chrome contrast and you painted it to look like a truck from Hertz-RentACar fleet.
To each their own, no need to get snarky. Since it's plasti dipped, had I not liked the look or wanted to sell to someone who like the stock look, peeling it off is easy.

Aligned my cab to the frame using this procedure. Mine is a 2019 Limited and the mounting points are slightly different but the procedure was identical. Mine was only off by 3/4 an inch but enough to drive me nuts. Cab slid right over. Those bolts are tight. Took about 80ftbs to break them loose.

Installed N-FAB cab length podium steps on the truck today. Went with the textured black with the Diamond Crystal Pearl paint color and I think the slight contrast looks awesome. Took all of 45 minutes, 15 of which were unpackaging them due to the excessive bubble wrap and tape. These things were delivered in mint condition due to the care N-FAB took in wrapping them up. As a side note i didn't have to wire brush the threads as I installed the bolts with an electric impact gun. Took all of 15 seconds to snug a nut up on the studs and then I hand torqued them all down. It was super easy and please don't judge me for the dirty truck, I had her in NYC today for work and we are going hunting with it tomorrow out East. In fact the only reason I rushed to install these today is because the old man can't climb in the truck without them, lol.

Very nice. That's one of the reasons I wanted air suspension and power running boards. My dad might be able to climb into my truck with regular suspension and fixed boards. But, lowering the truck all the way down and having the power running boards be so much wider and stick out so much further and lower makes it a LOT easier for him.

Just got back from hauling 2 sleds to Mount Valin Quebec. She needs a bath now! Towed a 21' trailer with 2 sleds pretty nicely. The 10 MPG sucked, but the trip was worth it. Can't wait to go back next month!
