Now that wheels and tires are on, let me get u guys ideas on my next upgrades. I'm ditching the stock side steps which are terrible for some go rhino rb20s. They look like the new Ford Raptors steps which are pretty cool. Also thinking of pedal commander and the aev procal when they come out with 2018 version
A new exhaust will be in future also, not sure which one yet. I have the avs aeroskin 2 but haven't put on yet. Next year looking at aev front bumper and full suspension work from aev ot thuren. You guys have any thoughts or ideas on these products??

Thuren is the way to go. After prior dealings with AEV they wont ever see another penny from me. Don knows what hes doing when it comes to suspension / shock design.

Go with AMP boards. The Powerwagon looks perfect with them. They have a rock rail look closed, then open they are steps. The best part when they are pulled in they just let the truck look taller.

Suspension wise I would love King Coils to get a comfortable 37x13.5 under there. As well they soft ride is just amazing even in these pigs.

Im against the pedal commander, it just forces a different pedal deflection map doesnt add any power anywhere its all placebo. That being said I would get a tuner to actually move the power band up as well you can get a custom pedal map to make you "feel" faster

If you want AMP running boards, I JUST took some off mine. Mine is the plug and play version, which might be slightly different for 2018. Not sure though. Will have a FS post here in the next day or so.

Only took them off for white knuckle sliders, which will be what you want to look at getting if you need that sort of thing.

For exhaust I went with Flowmaster. I got a decent deal on the system so pulled the trigger on it.
It’s not super loud but enough for my liking.

Thuren is a real suspension upgrade. AEV is a spacer lift that makes you install progressive rate Hemi springs, it’s a downgrade if you want to really off-road your truck. The AEV bumper is a waste of money on a PW, you already have a winch cradle and good tow hooks. OEM bumpers are cheap, you can destroy and replace the stock bumper several times over for the cost of the AEV unit.

Pedal commander, meh.
Procal, ok, but not really necessary unless you’re on 37s or swapping gears. 35s aren’t that far from stock size.

Side steps, no idea. If you want to wheel your PW to its potential, you should get rock sliders. They’ll pay for themselves the first time you scrape some powder coat off. If you don’t need sliders, get whatever step makes you happy, they’re a cosmetic accessory as long as they actually work as a step.

Exhaust? There are better places to spend money on a PW than what its farts sound like.

Thanks for your ideas, yea the procal I'm not in a hurry for. Truck still runs same with new tires on. The aev bumper is expensive I just thought it looked pretty cool.
