    Thank you for the welcome into the community and the great advice. I appreciate the idea of driving it stock for awhile before making any major change; however, when I am ready for adding mods do any of you know of a trustworthy, reputable place that really knows what they are doing in Utah?

    While the truck is very capable stock, after 60K+ miles I was ready for new shocks and the shell on the back really makes the stock leaf springs sag and then you add a bunch of camping gear and you look like some idiot with their pants down around their ass.

    Last summer I got 5100/5125 shocks and an Icon leaf pack. It did give me 2" of lift but mostly the new shocks and rear leaf pack improved the ride. It's not a huge difference, but it's better. No longer squats under load either.

    Me too. My 265/75/16 Duratarcs looked stuffed in the wheel well, until I added the 2" 5100s. Now, no more brake dive that the OEM ride gave you.

    Op, get better tires too, those Kevlar Highway tires are great on road, but lack bite.
