Personally, and I know that counts for ****, I like both trucks. The 07 is a beast, love the tires. The new one is, in a word....Awesome!
I think leveled trucks are for ***gots and communists, but no one ever listens to me...I like the new truck the way she looks, Awesome!

Are you wanting to level it just to have it... well... level? Or are you wanting to level it to have a slight lift/level? If the former, just remove your rear blocks. It'll take about 1.25 inches out of the rear and give you that leveled look without compromising any ride qualities or anything. Should work fine with your tires too.

I did it on my 2015... and I plan on doing it on my 2014 this weekend.

I know Forscan seems a little daunting, but it's actually very user friendly in a lot of ways. You ought to check it out. All you'll pay for is the price of the OBD/ELM dongle which may be as little as $15.

It seemed too smart for me, but you'll get the hang out of it pretty quickly.

How do you like the recon turn signals? Were they hard to install?

Oh I have zero issues with hooking up and changing whatever needs to be changed. I run ODBWiz and ScanXL on all my vehicles. I just hoping there was a simple button I was missing or something. I don't really want the truck always dark and then i have to turn the lights on when I need them (which would probably be a lot). I'm just going to install a rocker and use it to cut all the lighting circuits.

Well after I did it the right way, they were easy. I attempted to install them by only removing the puddles. I did it, but the install was crap. So I did it the correct way, by removing the glass and the back cap. I cut out the cheesy vampire connectors, then soldered and heat wrapped the connections. Much cleaner install. I'm thinking about cracking them back open and running another power line to use them as markers also.
Its easy if you follow the instructions

I know I wouldn't listen to you.

OP, like others said, both look great. Did you save the old rims? They'd look **** on the grey one.
