Honestly, I have no idea how it rides compared to stock. I got it already level with that turd kit. So compared to that setup, I think it rides better. The adjustable firmness shocks are a nice option and can definitely tell a difference between settings. However, the tires make it ride a bit rough, which is to be expected I think....especially since mine never balance worth a either

Contemplating getting rid of my UWS low profile toolbox and getting a bed cover. Leaning toward the Bakflip F1. Anyone else been through this swap? Or any regrets with having a folding cover? Also considered the Bakbox but after a lot of reviews and thoughts on my use, it seems like an expensive aggravation point.

Well, I sold my toolbox today. I posted it on craigslist and had a text 17 minutes later wanting it haha. Will be ordering the Bakflip F1 probably tomorrow or early next week.

Almost forgot....to catch up to where I am in this build, I sold my Nfab bar and PIAAs a couple months ago. I purchased a 20" Rigid E2 combo bar and the bumper mount. LOVE this setup and think it looks cleaner and has better output.
Current projects in the works:

Have been getting some work done today!
Swapped out the stock fogs for the Morimoto xB fogs. Looks way better off and on.
In progress:
Comparison of the housings:
On!:
The cutoff on these is awesome. Standing in front of the truck to verify aim, and I couldn't notice any glare above the cutoff line.

Finished up with my PTM badges. They used to be plastidipped but from more than a few feet away, they just look like black blobs. I bought some Duplicolor Perfect Match. Didn't have a whole lot of trouble getting the badges apart, but it did take some fighting and patience. Worth it though.
Here's the final product:
Matches the rear emblem overlay great:
I like the way it turned out better than how they were.
