    Yes; And does a “leveling lift kit” still raise the ride height of the truck?

    Which is better; Block or add-a-leaf? Will my truck’s ride quality suffer with the spacer in the front?

    I thought so with the leafs; I don't necessarily want a stiffer ride...

    Don’t see what one has to do with the other. Cruise control can be added with a new stalk

    Really? So I just need the stalk and little wire (which I don't have yet)? This will save a lot of money!

    I am not entirely sure; This is the same guy who bought me lunch when we ran into each other in Doylestown right before COVID started. For example, he charges $12-$15 for an oil change (including filter), and I provide the oil. He installed my trailer hitch for like $100, and even including the the cost of the hitch it was cheaper than UHAUL! He did not charge labor when he replaced my heater fan; He does have an hourly rate for really big jobs, but for the minor adjustments I've had done to my truck I'm pretty sure he's charged me less than he charges other customers. Yeah, Pete's a good guy...

    I believe some came prewired and some didn’t. You’d have to check. If it’s prewired it’s a cheap upgrade, no requirement for clock spring change out regardless.

    I believe mine just needs the stalk (which I bought last night) and the wire; Does anything need to be done under the hood that you're aware of?

    I did my best to look for info on this.
    The only thing I can say is, I don’t see any exception for different mode trucks on the SRS diagrams.
    It looks like the drivers AB connector is the same for all trucks?

    Don’t take my word for it though.
    That is just all I could find on it?

    3rd Gen has a Class IV Hitch IIRC and 2nd Gen Class III, if l am correct that could possibly be the difference.

    I'm talking about the circular bumper plugs; I've got an aftermarket Class II hitch, remember?

    Everything you need to know is on that first page. If you've got an auto and are prewired, it's as simple as replacing the wire with the new one, and bolting in the stalk.

    If you're not prewired it'll take a little bit of wiring, but it's still doable
