I hope King doesn't mind me answering your question.

Nope, only for the switchbacks and it's much easier to do a forscan change then hack up your wire harness for those.

Beat me to it. Or you could just turn the music up. Lol

Finally put my BuiltRight dash mount to good use and installed this Ram Mount phone holder. Uglier than the magnet I had holding it on before, but far more effective.

How much of a difference did the 5100s make? It's getting hard to remember what the 5100 upgrade felt like on the white truck, aside from it being more planted when hitting potholes. That was a much heavier and longer vehicle.

From what I recall Ford fixed the "sidestepping" with the 2018 rear shocks, but my RCSB is really......jittery. It's not quite the same feeling with the ECSB. I have about 150lb of sand in the bed and it isn't really helping, since it's not the same "jumping" sensation with the 2017, just that the rear end feels ready to jump around all the time.

Hard to tell, since I replaced the wheels and tires at the same time and I hadn't had the truck for 3 months. That said, it doesn't seem to ride any worse than it did before, despite going from the stock 18s to 305/50R20s. I also have the drop shackles and Roadmasters. I'm pretty happy with the setup. It's not harsh, feels well damped and controlled, and doesn't squat when I load it.

Diode Dynamics XP80 taillights installed. Maybe this one won't get repeatedly rear-ended.

I've only tried the 91 Performance, but it's pretty awesome. Not that many drag strips in this neck of the woods, so I don't know what it runs, but it certainly gets out of its own way. Lol
