Here is my 2018 Express. It’s a V6, 4x4, 3.55 gears.

So far I have cut and PD’d the antenna, PD’d the exhaust black, added a Rough Country Tri-fold soft bed cover, Reese load bar and have the Rough Country Floor Armour floor mats on order (sent back, didn't like the material, they were slippery).

Plans include:
- Level lift, but would still like a slight rake to front, sometimes the level trucks look like the are riding front high to me? Recommendations welcome on this. Bilsteins, Rough Country shocks, blocks, etc?
- Rough Country bed mat
- Nitto Ridge Grapplers - feel free to recommend size with keeping stock 20’s
- bed light kit. Been looking at the Opt7 kits.
- step lights with turn signals from Opt7
- tailgate ladder (Changed mind, just getting a small step ladder and keeping it in bed)
- Tailgate assist. DeeZee.
- Blind spot mirrors (Wade something? Forget the full name) (DONE)
- tint front windows one shade lighter than factory rears. (DONE, but matched not lighter)
- black third brake light
- possibly Opt7 Redline triple led tailgate light. Has sequential turn signals, reverse light and brake light. Lights are solid, not little dots like other LED lights.
- LED headlight/fog light bulbs


Comments, thoughts, suggestions welcome!

You don't have enough mods planned...also, broken link to the JPEG!

Regardless, congrats!

Ended up returning the mats. They were slippery and made the floor look like it was vinyl in a fleet/work truck model.

MOPAR now makes molded all weather mats similar to Weathertech, Husky, and those Rough Country mats, but with deeper grooves. I have them in my 2017 and haven't noticed them being slippery. Not sure if they make a version for the front bench seat but might be worth a look.

New stereo. I use my phone for SiriusXM, it has CarPlay which is awesome, has performance gauges, can clear check engine codes, back up camera works and I can turn it on without being in reverse, sounds way better even with stock speakers. Updated my controls on the front of the steering wheel to be able to control volume, you can reprogram the front uConnect buttons to do whatever you want with the iDatalink Maestro. Easy install.
