New guy

Hey guys,
Been a member on here for a while now. Got my cement 2019 OR premium back in February and was t-boned back in May. Truck took 5 months to get fixed (bad insurance adjuster, parts shortage, blah blah blah). Really sucked because a lot of the mods were in the garage going on that Friday for my wedding on Saturday. Anywho, glad I finally have my truck back and start posting on here.

mods thus far:
5100s in the front
5160s in the back
Deaver J66 leaf pack
ECGS bushing
RRW RR7 17x8.5 -12
Falken Wildpeak 285s
Cab mount Chop
Diode Dynamics SS3s pro fogs
Rigid D-SS pro ditch lights
Rago low mounts
2020/SR5 fog bezels
2020 off-road grill
With this set up i believe its on the 4th setting in front on the 5100s (1.75”) and the deavers add 1 inch in the back.

Wants:
Eventually 6112s up front
Black softopper
Tune

 

Welcome to TW!

 

j66 are stage 2? How do you feel about them

Welcome dawg!

 

Welcome!

 

Thank you!

 

Thanks! And honestly I haven't had enough time with them to give a solid answer yet. The 285s and leafs were installed at the same time, so distinguishing each’s characteristics may take a little time. Will update when I can!

 

thank you!

 

Couple more photos

Love the RRW wheels, the RR7s in particular really compliment the 3rd gens body lines IMO.

 

Nice

 

thank you!

 

Nice truck but whoa off to a rough start there! Great choice of grille.

 

Had the truck back about a week now. And like I said, 285s and leafs were installed same time and also running the 5160s. Initial impressions are it rides as it should. Almost doesn't feel like you are in a truck anymore. Lots of railroad tracks where I work and the bumps are absorbed very well. I haven’t taken it offroad yet though. The only downside to the softer ride is less payload. (And of course I have to haul 1 ton of lead tomorrow, which basically means I have to make 3-4 trips -_-)

I am interested to see how the hold up long term.

 

Welcome aboard New Guy!

 

Yeah it was not a fun process. And thanks!

 

thank you!

 

I’ve seen some posts in the past stating their aftermarket leaf packs are squeaking. Well as I said above I have the deaver j66 10 leaf pack and they were squeaking almost out of the box. I watched one LLOD video where he showed this stuff and said it helped the squeaking. I can attest! I drooped and tucked my rear hard on both sides, walked under and sprayed in between leafs that had gaps (different gaps when drooped vs tucked) and also around the mounting hardware. Noises are pretty much gone!

Im sure I will have to do this a couple times a year but I would say its worth it.

It does leave behind a pretty decent amount of over spray by nature so I just got a rag and wiped any un-coated part of the springs down to hopefully help repel water. Just figured I would share.
