    Hey welcome to the forums!

    I have a short list of the MODs I've done in my sig line. It's hard to quantify which is the best/favorite that I couldn't "live without".
    Toss up between ECGS bushing / Seat covers and Weathertech floor liners. ECGS bushing for obvious reasons and the interior mods mainly because of the preservative effect on my truck's interior.
    The Ultimate Headlight upgrade, paired with an ARB bumper & the Rigid SAE pods are probably a very close runner up as I "use" them quite a bit.
    My console vault/maxxpedition holster mounted to the passenger side of the shifter tunnel are also rad as fuck.

    Yeah adding leaves in the suspension has been great for me, hauling and towing. Can’t beat how useful having a cap is too for covered cargo with our winter weather here. Easy enough to take off when you need it off too.

    Best upgrade: Being smart enough not to waste my money on all those unneeded mods. Added Weathertech floor mats & side vents, console vault, and an xtang cover. That's it.

    +1 for the rearview mirror relocation bracket. No more shifting from side to side when making a right turn.
