First wave of parts just came in. Nothing serious, just a few LEDS to start switching the halogen lights over too LED. I’ve had good luck with the JDM Astar brand. The ones on my last truck lasted for over 2 years. These are reverse bulbs, 3rd brake light cargo lights, and tag lights.

I think it’s fair to be honest. It’s a lot of work 1900 for the lift 1000 for install and 100 for alignment isn’t bad. Not going to get the upgraded coil overs to start but the truck will eventually have a pair of fox’s on it.
As as far as exhaust goes.... I want it to party when I romp on it, but be chill when I’m cruising. I thought the last set up was just a little to chill.

It may be. I haven't priced installed lift kits yet. I'm a big DIYer, but that may be more than I want to take on in a driveway. Lol
My setup may fit the bill then. On cold start it's fairly loud, then it quiets down to a point you can hear it a fair distance away, but not crazy, no drone, but when you get on it it's fairly rowdy. You could always just delete the muffler entirely and keep the resonator, might cost $60 for a shop to weld in a piece of pipe. My setup was about $100 installed. Here's a video of mine if you haven't seen it.

This was one of the first ones I did to mine too. Mine had LEDs everywhere except fogs, plate lights, vanity lights, and in the console/cubby (still haven't messed with those). If you swap the vanity ones, you'll want to warn anyone that goes to open them at night. Lol

I can't wait to see it lifted. It's going to look so damn good!

Now I'm jealous. This is one of my two regrets....One being I wish I would've gone 8" and the other is I should've powder coated my lift. What color are you thinking?

That sounds pretty good. I think that would great.

It's like christmas! My Husky floor liners are here, My AVS seamless vent shades, and my auvovo anti dust mats have also shown up. Once it stops raining I will detail it up and get everything installed! These are things i consider essential... Although the auvovo dust mats were kinda an impulse buy, but for 40 bucks i figured I'd give them a shot.
