Found these on the internet. One of the first 03 L's in the new color. Also shows off the new rims.

That is a nice looking Truck.
I did not win the lottery last night so I guess I will have to wait on picking one up.

Looks as it does need to be lowered a bit.

On the forums they're calling it the "high flying 03"

It seems that the increased payload capacity must've been done merely by bigger springs or something. (it went from 800 to 1400 lbs)

I honestly wonder how it'll "sit down" at the dragstrip. Are we gonna see 60' times get slower because of the higher load rating?

The attached thread has an article from the enthusiast that says that increased payload of 1,400 lbs is due to new front and rear springs and dampers.

It does seem to sit higher than before.
