Gonna start out my build thread with a couple of lighting upgrades I’ve done recently and then add to it when I get the wheel and tire setup I want as well as the lift. Stay tuned!

Upgraded my third brake light to a black LED option from ProTubingLab for about $60. Shipping was pretty fast and the product looks good on the truck. Has the right color LED I was looking for on the reverse lights but they aren’t quite good enough to be the cargo light. Gonna have to get some lights for the bed since this one fell a little short but still satisfied with the look overall. 8/10

Upgraded my reverse lights to LEDs I picked up from amazon for $14. These are the Auxito 921 LED bulb and look great on the truck. New tail lights coming soon and these will fit those as well so i went ahead and upgraded them. Before and after below.

Upgraded my fog lights to LED fog lights from Beamtech on Amazon for about $25. These ones are 6500K and 800 Lumens and are pretty bright at night. Perfect beam pattern and no issues so far. Before and after below.

UPDATE: These LED fogs flicker so I plan on returning them and picking up some OPT7 Ultra Glow to replace them. Will upload new pics when they’re in.

UPDATE: the OPT7 Ultra Glow flickered heavily for a few minutes after install and then shut off completely. Gonna suck it up and pick up a set of Morimoto 2stroke 2.0 for the fogs and hi/low beam and pick up the correct set of PWM adapters to prevent any issues.

Just installed a set of LED tail lights I pick up through Autozone from Spyder Automotive for about $180 shipped. Plug and play and look great so far, no issues.

My truck had the halogen tail lights not the LED, no issues so far...

I wish I was that lucky. My LED sports haven't handled the new tails well. I'm glad you've been ok

I believe the listing for these lights indicated they weren't work for LED tail light models...

I got the version for LED equipped trucks. No use mucking up your thread on my issue.

Just installed the Zone 6” Suspension Lift kit with 5” rear coil springs. I also added the Bilstein 5100’s in the front and set them to 2.8”. Went with a set of Ballistic Rage wheels 22x12” wrapped in the Fury Country Hunter MT 37.13.5”. Still has a small rake up front but I’m happy with the look.
