    No problem! There are easier ways to do it, I just wanted it to look super clean and wanted to use all the original parts off my truck that I could.

    6-1-17 Got a new set of Falken AT3W Tires at no cost. The first set wore out extremely fast. This picture compares the spare and a used tire at approximately 11500 miles.

    Installed an LC Engineering header on Saturday. Great mod, definite noticeable difference. Butt dyno says the truck starts off in 1st much easier and has more torque throughout the power band, also cruises along in 5th much more easily.

    Pulled the trigger on some 3rd members from @ECGS. Going to be running 4.88 gears and an ARB air locker soon.
    Also ordered up some 255/85R16 Cooper ST Maxx tires!

    When you did the BAMF relocation, did you have to use wheel spacers in order for the tire to have the proper clearance?

    No, with the trd wheels and 265/75r16 tires there were no clearance issues with the bamf kit and the shock bodies.
