Nope no lift yet. That's just the difference in stock tire to 32.7 inch tire. The lift should be here next week. I got a bit over an inch from just the tires.

Tires do run just a bit but only at full turn. I was gonna do the melt mod but I will wait til the lift gets put on next week.

looks great!
how much of a hard time did you have with doing the fog light housings? also i'm curious to see how you masked the (plastic) skid plate area.
i ended up using a razor to cut the plasti from the tape masking, then using acetone for clean up.

All plasti dip for now...I will likely be painting the wheels after the lift and alignment (I feel like they will get jacked up). The grill is kind of a pain...there are several tabs on the top under the good as well as two on each side behind it.
Doctahjones, those fog lights were a PITA! I had done fogs before on my old srt-4 so it was the same process. I cut a drop cloth for lowes to cover the lights and taped around the rest. I had a little run off on the bottom and took a razor to it like you. Eventually my OCD will take over and I will have to redo them. By the way your path is awesome, I love them in white but couldn't find one fully loaded around here for a good price so I settled with the red brick. For the skid plate area I just taped it off as well and shoved some newspaper in behind it if that makes sense. When I was done I just reached behind the grill to pull out the newspaper so I didn't mess up the dip. All in all it was about a 7 hr job and 4.5 cans doin it all. Hopefully it holds up.
