Or should I just go with a full kit?

For the little of a price difference, I'd go with the full kit just because it looks more non-stockish lol

Of those two, the full kit. My suggestion would be VR but I know they have had issues in heavy snow.

Yeah.. I would like to have the VR.. Even theough the truck will be put in a storage unit for the winter.. I really have no need for one.. It's too bulkey for me.

I'm driving a 7000 pound truck I know it's not a quick truck by any means but I just want something to get the stock look out of it.

I was cleaning the motor last night and got to wanting to put something in there

Would your Hemi cover not fit back on when you installed it? Or did you not want it on their?

The bad thing about that cover is it just acts as a heat soak, or so I've been told. What about some of this stuff:
