Looks great, Clay! Based on your photo from yesterday, the front is noticeably higher. The rear looks a bit higher as well. How's the ride?

Thank you!!!
The new shocks raised the whole truck up, the ride is firmer and handles so much better. The bounce from the rear is gone and the front doesn't dip, dive and wallow like it use to. I'm going to leave the stock size tires on it, it still has to make the 100 mile round trips to work and back.

Trucks looks good with the 5100's and sounds like it rides even better!

Thank you! It rides and drives so much better. I'm out and about today, sort of torture testing the 5100s on the hills and twisting and winding turns on the old Farm Market roads.

You make it sound like you're done...

You make it sound like you're done...

I am. As the truck stands in its current configuration, it will do everything that I need it to do. I'm happy with the way that it looks and performs.
It's Good Enough.

Do you think you can go two months without buying anything for it ?

I know that I can. From this point forward, I can go 10 years without buying anything aftermarket for it. The build is DONE.

I know that I can. Hell, from this point forward, I can go 10 years without buying anything aftermarket for it. The build is DONE.

Wow. I've told myself that a couple of times. But I always break as soon as I see something cool that I can't live without.

Strictly for entertainment purposes and my own amusement lol.

Stock worn out shocks and struts, with Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HTs.

Level with Bilstein 5100s and Goodyear Wrangler ATs.

Level with the Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HTs.

This brings the whole build up of my truck in a Big Circle. (See what I did there lol.)
Happy and Safe Travels Drivers!
