Haven't done anything to it yet aside from replace battery. Air suspension was removed by the first owner. In the future I might try a lift and bigger tires. But for now it runs great and is a lot of fun to drive.

WELCOME, nice looking ride.

1) Previous owner pulled air: Good, saves you the trouble later.,
2) The Rebels already have a factory lift, IIRC.
3) Rails already installed, good.
4) Back cover on bed, too.


ADDED: I would not change the truck with any bigger tires or a lift, changes the geometry of the parts,. lots of wear and tear. But your ride, your wallet, do what makes you happy. I would only lift and do bigger tires if you needed it work wise. ALL above IMHO.

Thank you, great points about the bigger tires and everything else. I was wondering about the headlights, I think I might want brighter ones.

There are a lot of threads in this FORUM ref changing headlights. My 2019 is OEM LED, so I have neva had to play. MAKE sure you do your research on the lighting available, just skerry thoughts
