Changed the front shocks a few weeks ago and did the rears today. I went with KYB monomaxs all the way around. The shocks I pulled off were the originals with 175k on them. It rides so much better now. Breaks will be next

It wasn't to bad. I didn't have to worry about bypassing the PATS security system cause I got that disabled when I got my truck tuned. So that did take out a little bit of work. Do you have any experience with wiring? I have kinda taught my self the basics of the past two years. It's definitely not a project for someone who has never wired anything. I think there was about 16 wires (maybe more) that had to be spliced into the stock wiring harness. I did spend a lot of time before hand researching what wire goes to what and made myself a diagram so that helped a lot.

I have very little experience wiring so I might take it to a shop to get it done along with some other projects that I would love to do myself but I don't have the confidence in messing with my truck a lot, especially with things that could really screw it up. Don't get me wrong, I love working on my truck and I want to learn more about wiring since a lot of cool mods involve wiring.

Did the front rotors and rear brake pads a few days ago. The rear rotors are fine so they aren't getting replaced. My tailgate is squeaking when I go over bumbs so I ordered a new bushing set for it. That should be here today and hopefully fix the squeak
