    Looking good!

    How's it ride with the shocks angled in that far? I've heard road manners are a little worse. I have mine at the middle hole and wasn't sure if that would be beneficial at all.

    How do the leafs looks at bump?

    I've heard some stories about it being weird and I was skeptical at first also and I really didn't notice a difference. A bit more sway in the rear but I believe it's from the deavers.

    With the compression clickers I can stiffen them up and the rear rides great. No pics at full bump after the shaving of the bump but I'd imagine they are slightly negative but not by much, much happier with them after putting them in the very inside center hole now though

    The rear end now floats over i40 pot holes :rofl:

    Hmm. Interesting. How much lift did you gain?

    From stock?

    I went with the deaver j59 pack so it said 1.5 but I'm thinking more like 2-3 in the rear.. haven't really measured compared to before but overall really like the height and ride etc

    That's kind of what I presumed. My rear looks to be a bit taller. Though pictures its hard to tell. What rear bump did you go with? Wheelers?

    Tweaked the rear shocks again tonight.

    Touched up the small-ish rock rash I got on my paint next to my tail light.

    Replaced front passenger door handle. The plastic must have froze/got super brittle and one 8 degree morning I yanked on it and snap it went...:frusty:

    All better now and a productive day after school:D

    Bought all LED lights for the interior (dome/map lights), way brighter than the stock ones BUT they dont work when the truck is off when I use the dome light the most... not sure if ill be keeping them :bananadead::frusty:

    Thinking it has something to do with the bulb being picky about power or something

    Known issue with the 01-04's. I remember reading about that somewhere on here. Easy fix I believe, something about linking in resistors or something.

    Solder on some 1w 100ohm resistors IIRC. I have 2 on the dome light and 1 on each map light.

    You can get canbus or error free leds they have the extra resistors on them and that will take care of it.

    canbus ones don't fix the problem. I know from experience.

    The problem is they don't draw enough amperage to work with the stock setup.

    Where you having the problem of them being too dim or not working all together? Just curious. I have no first hand experience since I have a 99' but this was just the info I read from other users having the issue of the dome light not working when the truck is off and had luck with error free leds. @csjumper2003 seemed to be the guy helping out with providing the right type of bulb or resistors. I think it might not just be the same for all 01-04's either issues differ between those years. I could be wrong though.

    01,02,04 models are all the same issue and yes there is a fix. I sell this option all the time. I break it up that way because the 03 is different. Yes I have a fix for any 1st gen models.
