    I like the ImMrYo rear view mirror relocation bracket.

    I also like WeatherTech floor mats. Husky makes a similar product which is great also, maybe better.

    What have you done already? What would help you in the day to day truck use?

    At this point nothing, I've been mainly focused on fixing things that were damaged. Now I can begin modding :)

    WTs were my first mod. Took them with me to pick the truck up from the dealership.

    If you find the rear view mirror to seemingly block the windshield view, that bracket is a great investment.

    Window tint helps keep things cool and cool looking.

    In channel vent visors are great also.

    Bed mat should be your very first mod. Shit sliding around is no fun.

    Have to disagree on that one, the mirrors have 2 ball pivots, one at the mirror and one at the windshield glass, you can actually move the mirror and achieve the same results...

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Wet Okole seat covers
    Weathertech floor liners

    That'll help to keep the inside nice and clean.

    Not the same results or people wouldn't complain about the rear view mirror constantly blocking the entire windshield and the guys who sell the relocation brackets wouldn't be able to sell them.

    Similar maybe, but I have had much better results with the ImMrYo bracket as opposed to just moving the mirror.

    Don't need the brackets on the '15!

    Did you even try, or doesn't your truck have the mirror with the 2 ball pivots?
    My mirror is as high up as it needs to go, any higher and it would be useless...

    Yes I did. I found the ImMrYo bracket to be far better than simply moving the stock mirror with it's own lackluster pivots.

    That's fine if you want to spend the money, my lackluster pivots allowed my mirror to relocate high enough, any higher wouldn't allow proper visibility from the mirror!

    I dunno about the newfangled 2015 mirror mounts. Take a pic anyway, so I can compare. Like in the drivers seat, looking forward out the windshield.

    l will do the same. Curious to see if the difference is noticeable.

    You've gotten good suggestions so far. Here's mine:
    OEM bed mat
    Seat covers
    Window tint
    Tailgate reinforcement (if you plan on setting substantial weight on it)

    I'm glad it worked out for you. My mirror is against the headliner and performs flawlessly, no lack of visibility at all. If given the situation again I'd do it exactly the same.

    And I'm not into this for a pissing contest, I don't think the bracket is necessary! @Boone
