What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed the OEM Bed Lights. Quick and easy.

 

OME UCA's, Headstrong spacers (I love the ride at current preload so I added these to gain the additional 1" driver and .5" passenger), Rally armor flaps, ARB breather kit and ARB compressor and dash switches installed. Also changed out the gear oil as the 500 mile break in is complete. Time to get back to having fun with this thing.

 

I like the contrast between white and black trim pieces. I also have a black valence piece for the front bumper that I'm gonna change out as well.

 

To begin, I know next to nothing about truck suspension and have some questions that someone here might to willing to answer. I have a ‘18 pro. When loaded down with RTT and dogs and dog boxes it seems to sag a bit. Also, when the RTT is off and I am unloaded I would prefer the back to be raised ever so slightly. If I were to add a leaf between the first and second leafs that would lift the truck a quarter of an inch which I would prefer. Would that provide greater load capacity without the sag I’m experiencing? How might that affect ride quality? Would I need to adjust the shocks and can that even be done? I have OEM Fox shocks. Thanks in advance.

 

@FlywtrJoe An AAL will add arch to the factory leaf springs so you'll gain the ~1/4" thickness of the AAL itself but you'll also likely gain an additional ~2" from the AAL arching it induces. It'll support your additional cargo no problem and still give you some lift. That said, putting an AAL on these trucks without cargo makes for a stiff ride.

I put an AAL on both my '99 and my '17 because I had caps and they sagged from just that weight. Add actual cargo (w/o AALs) and you're always hitting the bump stops.

The AAL are the cheaper route but replacing the whole leaf pack might be a better option for your desires.

 

Finally coughed up some $$$ and got my truck windows re-tinted with ceramic tint. Went with 5% on side and back glass. And 30% on front and moonroof. I know some will ding me for the front for being "too dark," but as we all say, "my choice."

I like where you have those relays

 

Anti turkey defense

 

This is both awesome and scary

 

Can you get a picture in the daylight of the front? I'd like to see how dark it is during the daylight.

Hope the hurricane isn't hitting you too bad!

 

Changed oil and filter. First time doing it since buying the truck.

 

First time welding spindle guessets, but yeah lots of past fab work experience and used to weld hitches together for a living!

 

The slow road to black out continues.
And yes I know I will need to get the end caps.

 

White ACLB… Looking sharp.

 

Did you know 2017 to 2019 interior glove compartment configuration changed?

 

Thanks! Appreciate it

 

Hurricane isn't hitting us until Monday and Tuesday. I'm in north Mississippi but the wind and clouds are building.

Very nice, what hobby shop did you get it from?
