Recently purchased DCSB - now to get working on it

Hi all,
I wanted to start by saying thanks to all the posts on here I've learned a lot about my 2nd gen. I've had a 1st gen for many years and was feeling really comfortable and almost knowledgeable before getting into this 2nd gen.
My project list feels a little long to start.
- New headlight bulbs ordered so I can get rid of the LEDs some previous owner stuffed in there.
- Ditching the spacer lift. Going to start with the front and do bilsteins with OME springs, or maybe full OME if I can find a good deal. Then save up to do an AAL in the back so I can ditch the block back there.
- Get those cam gears
- maybe get a tune

I think that's a good start. I'm sure I'll be asking questions around here. See you around.

Edit to add a photo.

 

congrats! nice looking rig.

 

Love those wheels, actually looking for a set like that

 

Definitely swayed my decision to buy this truck.

 

The cam gear upgrade is something I've been contemplating... just not sure I feel comfortable doing it myself.

 

It doesn't look too bad. It's deeper than I've gone into an engine before, but seems straight forward. And plenty of help to be found on here.

 

Congratulations. She looks great

 

Screw OME go with the sexy as Fox shocks for your new rig.

 

I should add, it's funny that the previous owner went all in on wheels, tires, nice roof rack, etc. but went with the cheap lift. Not too hard to fix, but seems odd. At least it's easy to remedy.

 

I'll need to start saving for that!

 

Nice truck.

I’m very happy with my OME lift and Dakar leaf springs that I installed on my 2011 DCSB.

 

Nice truck. IMHO, if the PO have been running blocks with stock leafs to support the shell, your stock leafs are not worth keeping. Don't do an aal with sagging stock leafs, go with a full leaf pack replacement.

 

Thanks for the sound advice.

 

I messaged this guy (owner before you) when it was for sale asking if he would part ways with that canopy and rack, he obviously said no lol, glad someone here got it! Enjoy!

 

I'm glad he didn't part with them. Those were a big factor in picking this truck.
And thanks!
