Rear bilstein 5100s installed.




Think I'm ordering SL1s tonight and new fogs. Either DD SLF or the new crystalux projectors if I can receive any feedback on them.

Truck dropped off for ceramic tint. 35% up front, 55% over factory privacy glass.

Ordered DD SL1, SLF and switchbacks for front turn signals. Other than installing the bilsteins upfront, this should be about it.

Nice truck, basically a twin to mine, spec wise. I highly recommend laying on a 55% tint over the front windshield as well.

Thanks, trucks are awfully close. We just missed out on a white f150 equipped like our magnetic a few weeks before we purchased. Like the XL grille and work you did on the headlights.

Debating the windshield tint. After the bilsteins, tint, exhaust tip and new boat speakers I need to give the wife some time to appreciate the mods rather than calculate the time/money invested.

Figure we'll see how this summer goes before pulling the trigger on the windshield tint. As you know plenty of gray days in the PNW as it is.

So far, so good on the bilsteins, haven't really put them to much of a test. Right now only have the rears on. Want to get some measurements with the truck loaded and boat attached to determine how high we set the fronts. Does seem to be less body roll driving around town. Have some longer drives in the coming weeks, should have some good feedback shortly.

Installer used Xpel prime XR which is a ceramic product. 35% front, 55% rear 3 windows over privacy glass.

One more piece of chrome gone!





Pretty happy for 2 cans of spray paint (high heat primer and flat black) along with steel wool and sandpaper to prep.

Ordered from stage3 Tuesday, great price, received today.




Hopefully installing Monday.

Bilstein (rear) first impressions, just finished up a 500 mile RT. Firmed up the ride, less float better feedback. Corners better at high and low speeds, less body roll.

Looking forward to seeing how this improves our boat towing experience. Will have a good update in about a month.

Light upgrades are on hold til next Monday.
