Been busy working on the truck. Added a few items to the front with a new grille, 32” curved bar, new hooks and blue shackles. Added rear Bilsteins, footwell lights with LED bulbs. Have front and rear slotted and drilled rotors with pads and an S&B intake waiting to get installed. 90F72D27-0EDF-4F04-B8E6-FA6D22DACD02.jpeg

Those look like 5100 series Bilsteins. Why'd you choose those instead of 4600 series HD?

Please report back on loaded braking difference with your new brakes. Some are saying drilled / slotted rotors don't make much difference on heavy duty trucks.

I run a 2" rear lift to offset long periods of weight when towing. The 4600 HD aren't suitable for that. Being in Colorado I mostly tow in the mountains and steep ranges so I opted for as much heat dissipation as possible to avoid any issues. My boat trailer doesn't have trailer brakes so all the effort is on the trucks brakes.

I also installed rear 5100 bilsteins. Also did a four wheel brake job. Was wondering why my brakes were pulsing.....

Loaded up a partially eaten sectional that the 160 lb. Dane puppy thought would be fun to eat.

Ordered up a bunch of goodies for this 2019 classic.

Alpharex Luxx series headlights
Morimoto tails
Morimoto fogs
will throw up some pics when installed. Crazy to me that new vehicles would still have candlelight halogen lighting!
Everything going in as we speak. Will throw up some photos later!

Super happy with the Bak X4S. Needs a little tweaking/alignment after sitting in the sun.

Thanks again to Nick at Got exhaust! Super helpful.
