    Yep.
    IMO, it's not worth it.

    My guess is the stock muffler is a little restrictive to keep the noise down but I wouldn't replace it if it's in good condition. If you need new exhaust, then I would look into something that flows better. A 4 cyl probably won't see much benefit like a V6 or V8 would, unless it was a turbo or supercharged 4.

    I run them and enjoy the ride. I’m 3rd clip with no additional spacers. This will yield 2.5”. You don’t need the driver side spacer on a regular cab (my own opinion).

    Thanks, your truck looks great!
    How much lift did you get in the rear from your leaves? Im going to get the dakar MD pack. Debating between the 3rd and 4th clip for the 6112. Im shooting for a slight rake

    My truck doesn't need the lean spacer either. I don't have Dakar's in the rear but there is some brand of add-a-leaf the previous owner had put on and they seem to work well. Great for towing the boats and it doesn't seem to jump around when empty. I can't tell what brand they are but my truck has the OME 885's and Nitro shocks all around.

    I had Alcan build them for 2” - 21/2”. I added a one inch block from streetaco a few months later because I wanted a little more rake. It all worked out and i’m very happy with my set-up

    Yep.
    I'm trying out Freedom Offroad UCA's. They're black and I got a great deal on them.

    JBA, SPC, TC, Camburg... take your pic.

    It has no ricey nonsense and has nice rumble, especially when coasting in gear & accelerating right around 3k shiftpoints. Nice freeway sound without any annoying headache inducing drone action. When just in putt putt mode, not much of anything.

    Sounds interesting. What have you heard/read about them so far as far as durability and castor numbers?

    Yep.
    There's a few guys that have been running them for 2+ years. Other than some sticker issues in the early batches, there haven't been any negative reviews.

    THanks for the reply. I've been going back and forth on SPC and JBA. I hadn't heard of these before.
    That link seems to be off, it brings up and TW page error
