    I don’t either. I get stressed on vacations, feeling like I’m not enjoying myself enough to justify the PTO and money I’m spending.

    That'd be like going from worn out Bilstein yellows to worn out Bilstein 5100s

    Up the budget to at least $800 once you're ready for the upgrade, otherwise enjoy what you have now

    With the right audio equipment yes, but I've got mine paired with a Cambridge CXA-60--no HDMI port.

    All that with a Chromecast (actually two; a Chromecast Audio and third-gen Chromecast Video) and I've got plenty of media capability with minimal fuss.

    For some reason, I thought you were rocking ADS or something

    It's what I'll be going with next

    iirc @TACOTU3 is on ADS
    But no I'm on basic 5100s/883s

    Since I've dealt with rear end, and replaced basically everything on the front suspension besides coils this year, they are probably next on the list. After an RTT and bed rack maybe.

    Best to hold off on a custom leaf pack until you get all that weight in the rear

    I've personally been convinced that a 63 swap is the way to go, after hearing from people here on the forum as well as helping my friend do the swap

    Bit of a task to undertake though since you just started welding, but if you can down the truck for a bit I definitely recommend it

    Yeah I just put on CS019's last august, so they're not even broken in yet. Frankly they need the weight, even with my 1/4" steel tube bumper, hilift, jerry can and spare tire hanging off the back plus the shell I still sit a couple inches higher than I'd like.
    Probably should've gone 63 swap then, pretty sure a couple people in here said as much then as well, but bolt on was nice.

    $$$

    They'll be takeoffs from something off FB for sure, BRZ, TC, XB or WRX seats are the likely candidates

    It took a good 6 or 7,000 miles before mine finally settled

    I went OME when I swapped my leaf pack on my truck, and was pretty happy with it

    I did find they didn't flex as well as I would've wanted when I ran 10's in the back though

    Pfft chump change for an engineer

    You are welcome to drive my truck for any duration next time we’re out together to get a feel if any of it is worth it. 2.5” RR ADS in the front and 63s with Locked triple bypass in the rear. I get ample flex in the rear and I know there is more left in it if I ever decide to go through the bed with the shocks.

    @eon_blue

    Interstellar came out 11 years ago

    But if you consider that time dilation took place on Miller's planet, only 1.5 hours would've passed there so far (if it existed of course lol)
