    Installed the Gentex Compass, Temp and Homelink mirror from Copper_Z71 (on eBay, not sure his name on here). The kit was fantastic. Very easy to do. I ran my temp cable thru the firewall by pushing it thru the hood release grommet (it was actually pretty easy to get it thru there). I also re-mounted my hardwired radar detector, my Thinkware dash cam (which is hardwired and wired for parking mode). The other antenna is for my remote start.

    You need an @ImMrYo rearview mirror riser.

    Ok so if you have dakars in the rear that would give you approx. 2.75" of lift bud.Why do you need to adjust the billys up front you should only have about 1/4" of rake

    Ah shit, is that a real thing? Because I'm about to spend more money. This truck is not friendly to those over 6' tall.

    @G.T. Yeah it's pretty busy up there, but I'm hesitant. I don't really like how it looks way up high. I might just bite the bullet and do it though.

    Do you ever find yourself lookin around the mirror to see stuff? Then you need it.

    It's a brilliantly simple little part that makes a huge difference. I'll make bot of you a deal, if you don't like it after a week, I'll buy both of them from you.

    Send a private message to @ImMrYo and he will square you away.

    Thanks! Doing that now. My biggest gripe about the interior is lack of visibility when taking interstate ramps that slope right and not seeing shit ahead of me without ducking down.

    Used a double sided 3M silicone adhesive pad and just stuck it to it. My dashcam came with a couple.

    Oath, hate having to wiggle around to see stuff.

    I got a full 3-3.5 of lift out of my dakars AFTER they settled. When they went on those puppies had given me 5". I don't remember the exact measurements (I did edge of rim to fender since my wheels are sunken) but the rear is 3" higher after settling.

    I'll search for a good side pic, or take one tonight to show you, but I like the rake fine, but would just prefer a bit more up front.
