Thank you for your kind words, never been so satisfied with a build. The last thing I have is the Raptor steering wheel install, technically the wheel is already installed but I need to wire up the paddle shifters. This weekend is my wife's birthday so the wheel will have to wait. If you have an STX I would highly recommend upgrading the steering wheel, just make driving it that much better.
Nice build, coming along nicely. I have a 2017 STX and added a 10 way power driver seat, may be the best mod I have done, until I get my Katzkins installed......lol
Nice setup....well done! How do you like the Fox DSC?

Thanks Mike; I love the Fox setup, I will say it is not as 'plush' as before however it handles much much better, does have a little bit more 'bump' feel but I am ok with trading that in for better driving characteristics. One thing to note is when I loaded all the parts in the bed of the truck on the factory setup, the stock setup was just way to soft, truck did not inspire any confidence, with this setup when I loaded the bed with a similar weight it drove perfect. The big question, would I do it again? Absolutely! Love the way it drives. I should note that I have not even tried to adjust the settings on the struts so it may be possible to remove some of the 'bump' feel.
Also, the tires are just fantastic, the are extremely quiet, obviously not as quiet as the stock tires but the difference is not noticeable enough to even have to increase the radio or voice levels. Zero annoying hum, etc. I was worried about tire noise, I would recommend those tires all day long. They are not cheap however... I guess you do get what you pay for.
If you want, I still have the part numbers of the struts/shocks as that strut lift size is not carried in stock, they were made.

I have the leveling (2-1/4) Fox 2.5 with DSC struts on the front and rears on my RCSB, I feel the same way about them as you.
