Good start there Kyle. Looking forward to helping improve your suspension!
I like the long beds, nice to have that extra foot.

 

Still planning on the archive sua kit? Nice truck btw

 

I am! And thanks

 

Are you going with the hd pack or the regular? Also curious which shocks you planning on using?

 

Probably not the HD I don’t carry alot of weight continuously. On the shocks I’m either going ADS or King.

 

December 2018 set things in motion

I took a corner too fast and sent my passenger front tire into a curb. There was no body damage and the tire stayed on the bead. The rim received a nasty rash and the horns on the lower control arm were bent. So this was an ideal time to install the front @TOTAL CHAOS 2+ long travel race kit w/ 700lb king coilovers

 

Just finished the 886 backup light mod!

highly recommend

Camping Setup

Option A: Wedge Style Camper (GFC/Vagabond)

Option B: James Baroud Evasion (mounted to snugtop topper with Sportsman package 500lbs static weight) & iKamper Mini (mounted to cab rack)


Going with option B because I need to sleep 4 and have room for gear.

Also modular. I can take one or the other tents off. And the iKamper mini would fit on my wife’s vehicle.
