    A popular option is the Bilstein 5100 shocks but it lifts the same way as a spacer. Spend the $1000 up front for the OME with Dakar leafs and do it right the first time. This way you are not redoing your lift in the near future with better stuff.

    Not so much "wheeling". Most off roading I do is driving my truck out to the hunting lease, fishing or camping.

    Skip the cheap crap. You put cheap crap on 30k vehicle and it'll act like it. Put the good suspension on it. I suggest OME

    Moved backup cam from mirror to Stereo, Debadged, BHLM, added the Toytec 3" Coils and AAL to go with my Bilsteins, upgraded to 285/75/16 KO2s. Future Mods: Winch Bumper, some sort of camping setup
    I'd be down for a meet, as discussed in this thread there is Twisted Root over by my place in Bedford has a nice big lot behind/beside it.

    I would also love to tour some of the local breweries Franconia or Rahr? We can even theme our meets "Beer and Tacos" probably enough local breweries to do one meet a month and not repeat for a year. I've also wanted to hit Shiner for sometime; Roadtrip?

    I like brewery tours. Lakewood has a cool tap room and I have been wanting to visit 4 Corners as well.

    Chevy will always need work. It will probably need something else next week, like a fire extinguisher.

    My family and I have had good luck with Fords so figure keep it going.
    My truck has been great so far except for a little issue with the computer but it was a tuner issue not a truck issue.

    Dear lord that's an expensive coil spring. Lol. Mine sits pretty level right as it is actually...if I put that on the front I would need to do something to the rear also to keep it from sitting like a shitty California truck.

    And im not sure. It's a recall now correct? Should be done free at the dodge dealer?
