MGMTaco23's Build

Installed.

 

Looks good! You liftin the rear at all?

 

hell yaah nice shiny new set up!!!

 

The 5100's are in the back which did lift it a little. I thought it was going to level out a little more though but, I believe that's easily adjustable.

 

The rear 5100s do not provide any lift.

 

X2...you'll need an AAL or new leaf springs.

 

what he said.

I'm going to look into a leaf pack of some sorts.

 

Looks great! How much did you save on the wheels and tires by running 16's? I know some wheels won't work but seems alot of shops just push 17's to make a some extra cash.

 

Thanks man. The shop did try and get me in 17x9 wheels...I decided to look around and found guys running the 16's. I called them back and assured the 16's would fit. The guy calls raceline to make sure they fit and...of course they do. All together I saved $120 with this setup over the 17's.

 

Did the racelines come with the black caps or did you paint those?

 

They're painted.

 

hows the ride?!

 

your front setup is prime man you did it right!!! im stoked for you its bonerific but you should get some deavers in the back to level it out and youll be set for life. My brother in law has the 5100s and deavers in the back with kings up front on his first gen and its perfect so thats just my 2cents but it looks awesome man congrats

 

The ride is amazing, honestly...The shocks were stiff at first but It gets better everyday. highly recommended.

Thanks man! I had deavers on my old truck so I know what you mean, like silk. I've already looked into leaf packs and the deavers seem "overkill" for me at the time...they're expensive!! (unless I missed something.)

I've gotten a lot of questions about the back being lower then the front. I am definitely looking into better shocks at some point in the future, along with a leaf pack. For now, it's not so bad.

 

a few minor updates:

Got a bed mat


installed a Pop&Lock (some time soon I want to put on a tri-fold bed cover)


Just a cool pic.


I received the Metra dash kit today as well. Still waiting on the app radio 2 so I can get all the installed. Pics to come….

Contemplating if I should pull the trigger on BenWA's power sliding rear window kit. hmmmmm temping!

 

oh and to the people who were wondering about the ride height. The front C/O's settled down a tad. The ride height look's a lot more flat then it did the day I picked her up!

 

A pic of the Metra double din dash kit.

 

So much wrong with this. The HS tassels, the pop'd collar, the Ridgline in South Dakota, not caring one bit about the cost of air bags, which is actually gunna run about a grand or more.

had it actually been Dave Mathews the bro picture would be complete but it was incubus, so small step in the right direction.

 

Installed a brand new Pioneer AVH-P8400BH HU today with a Scosche dash kit, and MicroBypass parking brake override. I used the PAC TATO factory harness adaptor, and the PAC steering wheel control interface. Both were plug and play with only 4 wires to be connected by butt splices to the radio. The steering wheel controls the Volume up/down, Track up/down, Answer/hang up calls as if it were factory with just a little bit of programming.



The head unit is amazing. Makes the factory JBL system sound REALLY good with the full customization of the EQ. I have it connected to an iOS device and the advanced app mode is pretty cool now, huge improvement from last years AppRadio. Other features as bluetooth calling and audio are a huge upgrade to me. All my contacts from my phone are easily accessed through this unit. It's also nice to be able to hop in the truck and have your music start right up if i'm going for a quick ride. If I connect my phone to the CD-IIU201S cable my iPod really comes to life with Pandora, full iPod control (search through music or video on screen, advanced app mode), YouTube, etc. Highly recommended!!

 

New tires put on.
