Installed a backup camera Monday afternoon. Super easy install. Hardest part was routing the video cable underneath the truck. Tapped into the backup light positive for both the camera and monitor. Mounted the screen where the cubby underneath the 4x4 switch is. I had mounted inside the trim but I actually prefer it mounted on the outside on the face of them trim panel. plus you can access the setting buttons easier this way.

I put a deposit on a set of wheels and tires last week. Decided on 20x12 Hostile Havoc in PVD Chrome and 35 12.50 20 Federal Couragia tires.



I'm debating between the Rough Country 6" Lift then adding 5100's set @ 1.5" and a 2" rear shackle. Or Zone off road with the 5" rear block and the zone 2" leveling kit on the top of the new Zone strut.

Goin big huh? Correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure the rear's have the inverted shackles. So adding a longer one would make it lower unless you fab or buy new mount to flip it over

I think its actually a shorter shackle to make the lift up. Not sure, I think I'd rather go with Zone off road anyways because instead of the strut spacer its a whole new strut assembly and it has the 5" block already.

Shorter would mean less travel and the leafs would have a heck of a time flexing. Id go with the coil vs the spacer personally.

Right, the Zone has the new coil, no spacer. I just want to make sure to get enough clearance to wear I won't have to trim with the 12" wides (good luck huh?) lol

With the Zone 6" coil and then the zone 2" leveling kit, that'll be 8" in front and 5" in rear total. Then CAI and a tune. I'll see how bad the axle wrap is I might add some Caltracs traction bars as well down the road
