Looks great!!! Did you see much of a difference with the 5160's on the rear of the truck? I have them on the front, but didn't want to kill the bank account by doing the rear as well. I figured I would wait for someone else to swap out the stock shocks in the rear and see if there was a noticeable enough difference.

The rear definitely feels more planted to the road , it doesn't bounce when i have a load in the bed , and the rear doesn't kick out or hop around anymore if i hit a pothole or bump going around corners.The truck feels alot more solid ,like its not going to fall apart or break something after I hit a huge hole or bump.
They were definitely worth the investment for me and i would recommend them to any that feels like spending the money.

Just drove 5 miles with the new shocks on and it is a big difference. No jarring, very smooth while transitioning from a parking lot to the road while turning. No bounce or bump. The ride is much smoother on the road, I hardly notice dips that used to get the truck porpoising. I'll update this post once I have more miles, but it may be a couple of weeks as it isn't my daily driver.
