I’d get rid of the bds if you plan on wheeling it. My buddy has a bds lift on his Chevy and I swear every time we go out together he breaks a bolt on that damn kit. Again depends really on what you plan on doing. One mans “off-roading” could be another guys normal dirt road
What would you replace the BDS with?

Thuren or Carli only. Thuren if your not concerned about payload. And the flex on it is amazing. I haven’t broke anything of theirs but my frame mount for rear sway bars welds broke. So their stuff is tuff and I wheel a lot. Weekly. And hard and it does not disappoint. Highway ride is a million times better than stock. You will be limited to 3” lift but their stuff is designed to work. If your not wheeling then sure bds or any other budget lift is going to suffice. Depends on what you really want. Big tall truck or functional off-roader.

The pedal commander will void your warranty. Dealers can tell when the ecu has been messed with.

I run 37's and didnt regear. I concur. It's not needed. You may lose some acceleration so what. This truck isnt made to go fast. You want to go fast but a crotch rocket or a hellcat/scat pack/demon etc.

Here is my build if your interested

Never had a problem with my dealer saying anything about my pedal commander. They know it's there. Now i have been told by the dealer that i bought my truck from that if i went more than 2 inches larger than stock tires that they could void my warranty but IDK.

The last picture you posted, did you make it? Are you running 4.10 or was it 3.73

Stock 3:73 gears. Made it. The crunch you hear is driver side truck bed. Push it in a tad. Oh well lol
Ouch. Very Nice.
My friend ran 35” tires with 373 and never was not able to 5 gear much, but could hang with my Jeep using 410 when we rock crawled in CO.

If I was in Hawaii, I'd ride a motorcycle pretty much all the time. A good small dual sport, like the WR250R.

I've thought about that so many times over the last 25 years.....the problem is, the crappiest drivers on the planet live here.
The 2nd worst drivers on the planet visit here.
Nobody seems to know what a stop sign means......
Nobody seems to know what the left lane is for....
I feel WAY safer in my Ram trucks!

Can't argue with that.
Have you been to Chicago? Driving there is crazy scary!

I've only been to Kauai, and everyone seemed to drive ok.

Gotta agree on Chicago!
In the 80's, I went to Chicago with my grandparents. I had just started driving......pretty freakin scary!

My Grandpa went to pick up my little brother from his dad's house in Youngstown.
On the way back to my uncle's house in Chicago, they took a wrong turn and wound up in a burned out neighborhood.......
Cars on fire, crack dealers and ****** on every corner, and not another old white couple for miles.......
They never went back to Chicago!
