    I love the shell, best mod to date on the truck. Dry storage has been useful so many times.

    The ride is stiffer than stock but not unbearable. I’d say it’s a sportier ride with the bilsteins. The rear without the shell was jarring, if you leave the overload in you will need some weight in the rear. I’m actually upgrading to fox 2.5s once I replace the set I lost.

    Ugh, I know. That was my old truck, and here is my current truck. The drivers side is fogged as shit, so I could use some headlight love.

    When I was stationed in VA I had like 3 different vanity plates because it was so damn cheap. Here it's like $50 a year! There it was $10, at least back in 2013

    There was condensation in there when I bought the truck, so I did the BHLM and sealed it up nice and tight. 8 months later the condensation came back :annoyed: I'm not baking those shits again, and will just buy some retrofits.

    I may try the OL out since I don't have much weight. Reason I bought 3 aal was for the smooth ride

    The progressive 3leaf AAL is smoother or shall i say, not as harsh as your traditional single AAL. Though i learned, rough and smooth riding on any AAL setup is subjective. Perhaps you can try it without the overload leaf or vice versa to see which one feels "smoother"

    Did you leave your overload spring in? This is exactly what I want. Slight rake

    Yeah, I added a single AAL which retains the stock overload leaf.

    If I get the 3leaf progressive would it be similar height as yours? Also would you say getting new UCA would be an overkill for this lift? Already got JBA UCA but not sure if I should return
