I've finally decided to build a thread for my truck, I've had it's since 2009 and have only recently started making major improvements. I don't wheel a ton but would like to start going more and checking out new places. I do tow a camper, so my goal is to build a more capable rig with performance in mind along with still maintaining my requirements for towing.



Here are some pics.

Finally......LCA's and cam bolts, 2" spacers added to radflos,1.5" wheel spacers all installed and alignment done. I went to the middle hole on my shackles also. I'm at 3" in the front and about 3.75 in the rear,truck rides great on road and some local dirt roads, need some wheeling to break everything in.
Now if my gas tank skid comes in I'm ready for ECXC.
Pic above to show extra width from spacers, I'm liking how it looks.

Don't update this enough. My latest mod pending install is a lokka mechanical locker in my front diff. I was going to tackle install but never messed with gears and found a local place that will install for fairly cheap if I bring them the diff. Got some new axle seals for them to install also. Can't wait to be fully locked and see how much a difference it makes wheeling. I would have preferred an arb selectable locker but just can't swing the cost so figured this is better than nothing and also more reliability to the front end.
