    Ive thought about them for the rear because you still have the leaf in case the seal blows, altho from my findings a failed seal is rare but still the thought of having them on the front without a spring to hold up the weight you'll be sitting on the bump until you can fix it.

    They are a major PITA to get the ride height, is what I've heard. I know they are expensive to tune since you have to buy all the nitrogen regulators and stuff. I've also heard that 2nd gens are too heavy for them but not sure on that one.
    @Nate87 is the only one I know that runs them

    You'd be paving the way for others thats for sure, I don't know of anyone who has used them on the rear besides the guys who are linked. But like @northwesttaco said its expensive getting the nitrogen setup especially being a one man show, it would be better if there was like 5-10 people who could all pitch in for the setup and all could benefit from it.

    It would be better to just buy the tools and learn the know how for a regular shock

    Especially since you aren't sure if you want to go LT or not I definitely would go with a mid travel coil over. Much easier to sell, much less maitnance and going to be cheaper (money wise and time cost wise)

    So further update. Want it to be louder. Not sure I'll get that with just upping the fuse. So I found this guy for 16 dollars on Amazon and will be here tomorrow so I'm gonna try it out. Going to mount it on @JLee led bar mount on the sides above where the led bar is mounted.

    Think some dudes chick liked my truck so much and the dude was pissed. Lol. I'm not sure. Looks like it was slashed but idk if it punctured. Going to dealer for warranty maintenance and see what they can do since I have the extended rim and wheel coverage which includes aftermarket

    Yea. At the stealership for 10000 mile maintenance. So I asked them to call them and see what they'll do if anything. So waiting for that.
