    Pretty much all this, window tint is really nice to have.
    You should check the ball joints out pretty soon.
    And if it doesnt shift smooth replace the bushing in the shifter.

    pretty nice truck, maybe window tint? i have a 5 lug mini with the fabtech lift. if your going with the offroad look save up for the long travel kits. the fabtech lift rides hard in the back.

    so fabtech has the spindles that I think are 3" and I am not sure if they stopped selling there uca? last time I talk to them they stop making them cause people were abusing them thinking they were long travel kits and kept complaining of them breaking. try fabtechs website. I have the rear add a leaf and they ride hard!!! I am replacing mine today
