I’ve been following the forum for quite some time now and been getting great ideas for my truck on this forum. I’ve never posted on here before but I’m going to post my build thread from stock truck to now!

I wouldn’t recommend the skyjacker front shocks. The bottom of the shock holes didn’t line up with the bolt holes. The truck currently now has the Bilstein 5100 series front shocks

Wired in some LED panels into the overhead console. Make a huge difference in brightness over the stock LED bulbs.
