Yes I looked around for awhile before picking this 2011 extended cab truck. Looked at some bronco stuff but wrong setup. Plus the weight of the older seats is something to consider! Put my old truck on a diet! Will be weighing my truck this weekend! Get fuel mileage any way I can with 3/4ton.

Weighed truck today, 6200lbs. Was hoping for less! Hoping for 5500lbs. Still better than original weight. Over 7000 in original form! I'm about 500 lbs heavier than my target weight..

That's more then I was figuring on weight to but a 4wd can become heavy real quick. I'll have to see what mine weighs after it's all together. I'll be in the 7,500 range in guessing. Your back seat helps with the rear leg room which these trucks suffer in the back.

Rear seats install upholstery done.

Bolt in seats today looks nice and dog proof. Hair won't stick in material. Gonna have some seat covers also for protection. Seat to door clearance is 10" with down. 20" up clearance.

Lock up seats are a nice!

Lock up seats are great for when packing gear! Keeps my gear warm and dry. This is my soon to be archery truck, travel around and shoot tournaments all over!

Limit straps still need to installed and just about done with front suspension. Some more tuning on fox shocks. Ride a little stiff and will be worked soon!

What made you go with the 3.0 fox shocks over the 2.5's? I'm thinking of the 2.5's for my rig just wanted to see if I should be going with 3.0's instead.

3.0 or 2.5? Both are capable of doing what I need but I like overkill, so 3.0 work! I often run dirt roads in wyoming for up to 50+ miles and they just beat the hell out of a truck! So in my situation overkill was for me.

That's one of the rare times I've seen a late model seat not look terrible in and old truck. Good job.
