Looks good. I would take the time to fix those bag mounts on the bars, instead of offset to the side. This happens because of that also:

I WAS ALSO WONDERING WHY YOU GUYS MOUNTED THE BAGS LIKE THAT. PERSONALY I THING IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED CLEAN ON TOP OF THE BAR SO THE UPPER BAG MOUNTS WERENT SOO LONG. IT WILL WORK, YOUR TABS LOOK A LITTLE STRONGER, BUT UR GONNA EAT UP BUSHINGS

hell I always wondered why extensive kits did this, one of my fullsizes came with EX 2link and it seems to just put un-needed strain on the links, like a twisting action and like everyone says, wears the bushings out   seems like on the EXSVE kit if it came with some 6  or 8 inch pipe you could recess the bag directly over the 2 link bar........... ..........mmmmmmmmmmm might do that! LOL

On a 2 link it doesn't matter if they are centered on the bar, brcause the bar's are hard mounted to the rearener. There is no way for them to twist. On a four link however they pivot on the rear end and the front mounting point, therefor offset, they will twist and cause pre-mature bushing wear.  Other than that and the 2wd sheetmetal, the truck looks awesome. I wish I had a nice daily like that, but all I have is a 4wd Duramax.Keep up the good work guys.
