So before we did any modifications, my family and I took this truck on a road trip for about 6 hours each way - bone stock. Our trip was from northern Ca. down hwy 5 to southern Ca. We loved the truck, but soon into the trip I had a ton of idea’s to help with the ride and handling of the truck. I started the modifications off with the list above. After the truck was done, we took it on another road trip without the faith wheel toy hauler. Both myself and my wife saw a big difference. The over-all ride was completely smoother, not so bone jarring when it went over bumps in the road. Around town it’s great. On our freeways we have those break points where the concrete meets and you get that very uncomfortable “thump thump thump” feel. Well, that’s also improved dramatically. The Toyo mud terrain tires are a bit louder than if I would have picked all terrains, but I need the muds for the grip when I pull my toy hauler into the sand when we camp so I don’t mind the noise.
Next on the install list:
Amp electric steps
Auto Meter Nexus gauges
PPE EGR delete
DPF removal
Fuel tank
Lift pump
Nicktane fuel filter
H.I.D. head & fog lights
On board compressor
Air horns
If you have any questions feel free to post a reply or PM me and I will be happy to help.
Thanks,
Nor-Cal Nick

| Nice truck! Looking at your rear shocks, I probably installed mines the wrong way  , cause my boots are on top. Correct me if I'm wrong.
