Great looking truck but we need details! What drop kit? What wheel and tire combo (with sizes)? Any other mods planned?

Again, nice ride!

Thanks!
IHC 3/5 ride quality kit which I installed. I'm not pleased with the ride the rear shocks provide and have a set of the Fox 2.0's on order now.
20x9.5 Vossen HF-6 wheels. +15. 295/45/20 General Grabber V rated tires. Could not find any Nitto or Toyo tires due to a national back order!
Side windows tinted to match the factory rear tint.

One point of mention is case others don't know. I found out these trucks have an active front air dam which moves down to help with fuel mileage over 40 mph. It was scraping horribly on any dips in the road so I disabled the system by unplugging both motors which control the up and down movement. No warning lights or any came on so I will now have time to address the issue. Maybe trim 3" off the air dam??

Future Mods? Maybe address the stock stereo and upgrade it a bit. Possibly color match the bumpers but the tinted wheels seem to match the chrome bumpers nicely.

That's what i'm talking about!...tough lookin' truck

I’ve been looking into this issue and I think I’m going to remove the active air dam and motors before I do my drop. It’s a total of 12 bolts (6 for the air dam and 6 for the motors). Looks pretty easy to remove and it can be reversed unlike cutting it down. From what I can see, it doesn’t throw any codes but I guess time will tell.

I can confirm unplugging the motors doesn't set any codes that I was able to see. Today I went ahead and trimmed mine down where it was dragging. Basically made it straight all the way across where as before it stepped down at each corner. I figured it had already been scuffed up so I'd try and modify it, I like the idea of the system being functional. I plugged everything back in and drove it a bit and its not rubbing under normal driving conditions as before.
