5100s especially if you do any towing/hauling, 20 min install tops. Also if you plan to do 5100s and liners do yourself a favor and knock out the shocks first, wish I had. Great looking truck!

Thanks man .. I'll probably rarely tow but I'd definitely like the ride to feel less bouncy. I just ordered new rotors and pads for all 4 that I need to do as well

They’ll fix the bounce you feel. Putting the rears on was an immediate improvement in ride quality. Feels more under control especially at highway speeds when you hit bumps or road heaves. Finally getting around to having the fronts put on Friday.

Front would take longer/more difficult to
Put on I would imagine. I did my 2.5" level by myself and wasn't too fun to be honest. The rears I'm looking forward to doing next. Just need to get paid and find time between working and taking care of my 3.5 month old. Time is scarce these days lol.

I also maybe throw 1-2 coats of nightshade on my tail lights/3rd brake light just to darken them up a tiny bit I feel with the color scheme of my truck I need to. I just don't want that ricer type look I feel you get when you go too dark.

I used bedliner spray in my wheel wells, I think it looks much better. Just be sure to prep well first and do 2-4 coats (if you drive on gravel I recommend the 4).

Wash well then I used a Brillo pad to scuff up the paint a bit, then use alcohol wipes (or something similar) to do a final clean.

Bit of a pain to get in there and do it but the bedliner doesn't stick as well if you don't. I think the recommendation is then to do a light first coat followed by heavier 2nd and 3rd coats.

I had a couple places chip or peel, hard to say if that was from lack of prep or rocks. But I am just going to get another can and respray another coat in spring.

Sounds like with time into it and the bit of a pain to get in there; may be cheaper just getting wheel well liners, and the liners look sharp!

I would have gotten sport cloth seats but the wife likes leather.

This! The liners take all of 10 minutes to put in.
