Hey everyone -
Had to make a hard choice, and it's to get rid of my 2011 1500. If this isn't the place to post, I'm sure someone will let me know...
Anyway - less than 60k miles, the following mods:
- Addictive Desert Designs front bumper with LED lightbars and fog lights
- ICON Stage 4...
Anyone have an aftermarket tailgate? Looking for something that includes a spare tire mount. Seen a couple tube ones out there, 4wheelDrive parts, Jegs, etc. - prerunner style mostly. just seeing what's out there... and what works for everyone
I put the entire Stage IV system in, springs included. got a true 1.5" lift in the back. The ride is awesome, but lot more went into than springs. Still, recommend over spacers for sure.
No lightbar in the grill, but I like the way the M1 grille screen looks just as much, and it was 1/4 the price of the trex....so I could blow the savings on the bumper! :favorites13:
I'm in Albuquerque, so kinda but not really...Have a place up north but on the other side of a mountain range from Red River. (Hit the elk below el vado lake) Beautiful up there though, especially this year with all the rain
It totally saved the front end. Took the bumper off, drove the truck another 30 miles that night and 150 the next day.
The mount on the driver's side was sheered off (see pic in previous post), the passenger side was bent down into the front tire. But it did its job, for sure
No issues at all with my icons...and the ride is awesome (even on the rough roads in bumblefuck NM). Went with +12 offset wheels, just enough clearance.
No vibration at all on mine - installed two months ago. Same as above - like floating over the road. CV angled don't change much, just the additional travel and a slight amount of lift. Replacement UCAs help with the geometry, also
You laugh, but that's the idea. I spend a fair bit of time driving distances on dirt roads, forest service roads, etc. It's set up to handle rough stuff at speed. (That's how I hit the elk...)
I've had my 2011 1500 4x4 for about two years now. I guess it's time to put a thread together....
More or less what she looked like when I bought her:
First round of mods:
tonneau cover
Billy 5100s (removed front spacer lift)
LED's on the iron cross bumper
Pioneer Avic 8100X head unit
Snow...
The wheels come with stick-on red inserts. I think I'll leave em off.
Almost there...
knobs looking better with the grill screen and bumper, eh gasser? :favorites13:
