Like the rest will say! Got my rig from the stealership new. Got it to be my hunting and fishing rig. Right size for me and a couple of buds to get out in and the bed is the right size for BEER and ice? My first mod was Bug Deflector, a Rhino Liner, then an LSD, followed by Nurf bars:

Suspinsion & ARB Install:

Started off by placing the truck on stands and removing the tires. Disconnected and remover the sway bar. Flattened out the brake bango fitting with a hammer and a piece of wood:

Shocks Rubbing Fix:

Cause is the new rear leafs flexing.

Fix:
