What's your favorite modification on your Gen 3?

The leather seats!!! Now THAT I must do. Are they any more comfortable? The lower parts of the seat hurts my back (Gorgeous truck btw!)

 

they're amazing. just cost a lot and your hands will hurt for a solid 3 days after installing...

 

I can't say if they are more comfortable per se, though they slip over the existing cloth covers, so they do provide additional padding. But, they are easy to keep clean, which is why I opted for them. The cloth seats are too difficult to keep clean, especially if you are dirty from off-roading, working on the property, etc.

Yes. The install isn't difficult by any means, but it's labor intensive. I'm in my mid-40s, so I used muscles my body long forgot about.

 

I agree, but if he's interested in lifting I recommend doing that before wheels and tires.

 

Love those wheels. How is the finish holding up on them?

 

Great looking truck. The lift is perfect. Are those larger tires?

 

Yes, 285/70/17.

 

Man, these trucks just look right with 285s. I'm not gonna do the cab mount chop so I don't think I'll be getting them, but they look so good.

 

I haven't yet. It rubs ever so slightly in reverse at full lock, but it does rub off-road.

 

I'm wondering if 275s will have the same issue.

 

Offset will be more important. I'm running -12, so that is why I'm getting rubbing. If you go less aggressive, like 0 offset, you probably won't have as much issue. If lifting, you need to make sure you are clearing the UCAs without rubbing.

 

OrangeVirus Tune...then probably wheels

 

I actually have the same wheels you do, but with 0 offset. So maybe 275s would work. I only recently got tires, so I won't have to worry about that for a while though.

 

Is that legit just wheels and tires...any lift?

 

Best mod to date is the OVTune ECU calibration kit. It makes the truck drive like it should have from the factory. No more lame ass 3rd gen AT messing it all up

 

100% stock suspension there.

 

What are your wheel and tire specs you have on there?

 

Wheels are 16x8.5 and tires are 265/75/16.

 

What rims are they? Offset? Not looking to do copy exact but I think that's a great look for sticking with stock suspension. I'm starting in the market for wheels and tires and getting a little confused with what offset with what tire size/wheel size you can fit on these trucks with no issues. Did you have to remove mud flaps and front air dam?

I never had mud flaps on mine, and the front air dam was off before it left the lot LOL.
