Installed new gauge, trans pan, and a jet 180 thermostat. Hoping to order some adjustable shocks and new rear shackles here soon.

Thanks guys! It's still got a little ways to go. Right now the plans are bilistein adjustable shocks up front and a lift shackle in the rear. Then it will be time for 37s. After those are on I would like to add a Moes throttle body, long tube headers, and maybe a torque converter. Ill will keep updating when I can get some more work done.

Used a clay bar then polished and waxed the truck the other week. Took a lot of time but it turned out pretty good.

Your truck looks awesome man! More pics please

I'll be off all next week hopefully I can get my front shocks on to lift it some more. After that I'm going to try and clean it up and borrow a good camera and try and get some good picks. Maybe ill get a TOTM nomination after that lol:big_banana_Dance:

Been a while since i updated. A few weeks back I had my 5100s put on the front. I set them all the way up so now i have 8 inches of suspension lift. The truck rides a little stiffer now but i thank it is better and im very happy with the quality of the shocks and how well they perform. Today i put on my 85mm throttle body from moes performance. I had amazing customer service from matt at moes as always. I bought the throttle body when they did there garage sell and got a great price on it. As for results i am very pleased. The truck accelerates better now and stays in overdrive in places it use to down shift. I am very happy with this product. Now i just need my 37s and hopefully I will be happy for a while
