Today, I haven't done anything to it, but I've owned it for about 3 months and it's gone from this:

There was a time, when I was installing something new every couple of days, LOL! It's almost finished finally!
That looks sinister in all black.

Fox 2.5s thrown on the Tremor.

Was hesitant cause id be worried i wouldn't see a difference, but man it is an upgrade for sure.

I feel the smaller tiny bumps more, not jarring, but you "feel" them more, but bigger bumps, roadway patches/bumps, speed bumps are nothing to this truck. I currently have them 3 clicks from open per factory spec.

Need more time on them to really get a feel for how they are, but initial impressions are promising.

Are they worth it (at least for a tremor?), not really, but you wont be disappointed performance wise.

It is almost finished. I've put about $10k into it since October and it had 11 miles on it then, LOL! Other than the Kicker speaker upgrade, some LED fog lights, diff cover, and maybe some darker tint, I think I'm pretty much done with it?

You're never 'pretty much done'... When you say that, it costs you a lot more money. Its like Fight Club... You never say it.

What was your install time on the struts and shocks?
The reason I ask I want to install mine, but its bloody well cold right now, so I've been calling around locally to have them installed and these shops want a small fortune, I am talking over $1K for install, front struts and rear shock for a Ford Tuned Fox 2.0, kinda crazy given I believe I could do it myself in about 4 hours total rolling around on the garage floor.
Looks like I will be spending some quality time with my son, he is a first class hand when it comes to wrenching.

Retired, work is a four letter word.
Well, finally got the Eibach Pro Truck 2.0 coilovers installed, and set at 2" over stock. I must admit the truck now rides very well, much better than the stock FX4 suspension, plus its leveled!! The Shrockworks sliders ship tomorrow or Saturday, so will be on for my desert trip the 20th.

How much did you get that tailgate panel for?
The Tailgate Applique? $345 It's from Air Design, by the way.
