Don't plan on doing any mods this summer. Only lower ball joints, tie rods maybe, differential lube, pinion seal rear axle transfer case, rear rotors, trim inner fenders more, after this winter have to sand and paint some rust probably. Going to try that POR15 Anti Rust this time around. Get some heat resistant spray for exhaust. Then next year I plan to either switch to 6" suspension or just add 2" body lift then paint any frame showing black. Then get 32x10.5" may try a more aggresive tread not sure. I like my BFG.

Your truck looks good as is and has swayed me heavily towards buying the RC kit and running 31s.

I noticed some coming up on the front of the hood and also the very bottom of my rear bumper



Tucked the trailer wire away today.
What did you do with the wire?

If you go with Rough Countrys kit it will save your suspension. Gives you all the brackets you need to make your CVs not get worn. I suggest go with their kit forsure. I love mine. No issues yet.
