    Thanks! Yea I have to have a long bed. Only way to go for me. Congrats on the 2020 purchase!:cheers: Heard they made some nice changes.

    As for future plans..just purchased a RCI differential skid, trucks getting a ARB dual compressor soon, end of year I’ll be getting 4.88 gears and a front locker.. not trying to think past that for the time being.

    that’s great man. I wish I would have went with the long bed from the start, but as you mentioned the '20 does have some nice changes. I’ll be side-grading from an 18 Pro.. bonus for me is moonroof+long bed..

    I was looking at re-gearing as well which is another reason I’m switching to the OR (I don’t want to de-value the pro).. what made you settle with 4.88s over 5.29s? I’m interested in how it turns out for you!

    Yea the pros are nice if your not going to mess with the truck at all. But most people on here do not leave there trucks alone lol as for the gearing.. I thought I needed 5.29’s but I called nitro gears to gather some info/opinions.. they recommended 4.88’s. I drive my truck a lot. That’s the big reason why not to do 5.29’s

    Yea I almost went 5.29’s without even asking questions. That’s just good business. They won’t lead you in the wrong direction.

    Came home to a few packages today. I have to say RCI is one company I enjoy to make purchases from.:thumbsup: Ordered a rear differential skid Sunday night during there group buy and received this afternoon. Early enough to install. Also installed some rock lights. Just feel I need one more dead center.
