    Of all the mods so far, this one felt like the full commitment to the build. Cutting cross member, cutting all the bumper and related supports, but definitely worth every second spent installing it.

    Now that I see this I might need wheel spacers :bananadead:.

    Bought a set of Grams and haven't installed them but apparently et0 will be too much in, I'm afraid I hit the UCA.

    So far... bed header rail, oversize cup holder (ended up going with the AJT Design one), and just finished installing the power tailgate lock.

    1. By far, the best upgrade was the OTT tune. - better torque and HP, with much improved shifting and throttle response
    2. 2" Bilstien/OME spring/Deaver add-a-leaf lift which included the ECGS bushing and Pro grill- Looks and clearance
    3. TRD Pro wheels with 265/70/17 tires- again, looks and clearance
    4. OEM Tailgate lock- security
    5. Weston HDX Step "slider" rails- ease of entering and exiting vehicle
    6. Leer R100 camper shell- made a 2500 mile move with 3 humans, 6 cats and a dog; made a 5600 mile road trip using the bed/shell as a sleeper.
    7. Rove Dashcam
    8. Install intake flow accelerator and removed extraneous plastic and screen from inside filter box installed HPS intake tube
