Old man brown build

[JTrean]

Hello,
I've been a member for awhile now but haven't posted much. I've owned my truck for around 6 years now and have made a few modifications along the way. My truck is primarily used for hunting/camping so my mods have been focused for an overland purpose.
Current mods:
Front lift- Bilstein 5100 at 2.1
Rear lift- Bilstein 5100 and icon rear springs
Fuel 18" wheels w/ 33" Cooper discoverer st Maxx tires
S&B intake
Carven Muffler kit
Alpharex headlights
Coastal Offroad high clearance winch bumper
13-18 grill
4 3" led pod lights (amazon cheapos)
30" single row led light bar (amazon cheapo)
Traction boards mounted on bed rail

Here is how it currently sits:

Very nice, he's a bruzer. I got to get me a camper shell!

Almost looks like camouflage in the forest, nice color.

Here's a picture of my traction board set up

Mounts were made using some 90° steel shelf brackets I found at Ace Hardware. I cut them down to my desired length and drilled a few holes. Mounted them to my bed rail through the canopy.

Looks like you have it nicely set up ..to go about anywhere.

BUUUT.... you didn't mention what mods you've done to get good tunes! LOL

Gave the truck some much needed love this weekend. I replaced the lower control arms, sway bar endlinks, coilovers, brake pads and rotors, and the rear shocks.
Upgraded the suspension to the Bilstein 6112’s set at 2.4” and the 5160 shocks for the rear. Ride is amazing.

Forgot to mention, I upgraded my wheels and tires a few years ago. Running 295/70R18 Yokohama Geolander MT’s now and some different Fuel wheels.

Looks great! First thoughts/impressions going from 5100 to 6112?

My 5100’s were pretty well shot but I remember them being a bit firmer feeling vs how the 6112’s feel. The dampening is significantly better in the 6112’s and they eat up bumps at higher speeds. They feel great so far. Hoping to go drive some trail’s tomorrow to really see how they feel.
