    Got some JBA's installed today. Holy wow what a difference in drive feel. Thing was a bear before today. Feels like a totally diff truck, tracked straight as an arrow at speed and haven't even gotten the new alignment done yet.

    Next up new steering/intermediate rack, ties and LCA's. (Any recommendations appreciated, obvs oem reccy but its always sky high and backordered - so the next best thing?)

    Did you have the stock ones installed before? Have you noticed any difference in your ride quality?

    I did replace the stock UCA's. 1'st main reason was to correct camber. 2nd was to get another 1" of lift for the 33's and level the truck. Drives better already. Will have alignment and screw the spring down then.

    No. I was at work for a few shifts, going to classes, many miles far away from the old wheels and no dash light.

    I got an access cab with those kicker tweeters, but Rockford Fosgate front and back doors. How's the difference with sound deadening? Is it worth it? What about the roof and floor, ever considered that? Also, I often travel on roads with 80mph speed limits, and road noise is loud, did it help with that?

    I've thrown a lot of money at my sound system. Biggest difference I've made to it is add sound Deadening. I did my roof and back wall as well. I'm sure I'll do the floor at some point
