Thank you! I love it!
I purchased the lift kit from PCS Custom Automotive via ebaY.
Rancho had a $406 rebate at the time I ordered it as well, so total was under $1200.

Small stereo update: Had JL 6x9 C2's installed in the front doors. It required duplicating the stock mounts from wood (painted), to retain the OEM 4 mounting spots, with no new holes in door. The 6x9's fit perfectly.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the outcome, although doing the install myself would have saved me half the total cost. Music fills up the front of the truck now, vs hearing highs from the front pillars and lows from the back seat sub. Now, it's equally balanced in the front. Everything sounds better, and I was surprised with the additional bass I now have. You can feel the music.
I'm piecing this system together little by little. I will be using one of my old 12" RF subs temporally until my budget allows for 2 new 10" SD3's from Sundown. Did you know the SD3's only require .5 cubic feet and have a 4.5" mounting depth? Seems like the best choice for subs under the back seat IMO.
I will update again once the amp is installed.
Other updates: I updated to Sync V3.8. Had the 5-4 shift TSB and ACC Recall performed at dealership. Have the Seat TSB parts on order and will have the seat TSB done soon, hoping for positive results.
Overall, I'm pleased with all updates. Sync responds faster to physical inputs. Shifting is improved, in fact, it feels smoother all around. Didn't notice much of a change with the ACC, but I really never had a problem with it.
One thing I have noticed, the adaptive headlights respond faster automatically switching to high and back to low beams. Prior updates, it would take approximately 2 seconds to change back and forth, now it seems almost instantaneous.
Also had the VSS programmed to the truck, now the shock sensors work.
And had the oil changed

Wanted to update, in regards to the ACC, after the re-program...my results are good. Prior to the update, the ACC would turn off when driving through heavy fog (which it states is normal in the manual), and would false under overpasses when set to 3 or 4 following bars. Well, I've been able to test everything on a few 2 hour drives to the mountains. I've drove through heavy fog twice since the update, and the ACC has worked flawlessly. It has not false alarmed under overpasses either.
So if your putting of the ACC update, don't, as it's totally worth it IMO.
Side note, snagged a RF 500X1BD on Jet for a great price. $172 including the first time purchase discount (was 20%, now 15%). Birth sheet shows 794 watts at 1 ohm!
