The 2011/2012 modification thread...

I got many of the ideas for modifications on my truck from this forum. I thought that it would be a good idea to start a modification thread to make it easier for others to do the same. So, list your mods-past, present and future...

Here are mine...

Currently:
AVS Bug deflector
AVS vent visors
Deflecta-shield mudflaps with diamond plate inserts
Auxiliary reverse light-Upfitter #4
KC 57 series 55W driving lights-Upfitter #1
Recon "Big Rig" running lights under the doors
Cab lights-installed by yours truly
Extang Full-tilt tonneau cover
E-Z down tailgate assist
PLX devices bluetooth OBD adapter for my Torque app
Invision headrest DVD system-Upfitter #3-for the kiddos

Future:
Firestone Ride-Rite airbags with on board air system
Bedrug
Epic's door seal mod
Titan 50 gal fuel tank

Have fun!
Dave

Shocks- this forum has really helped in this aspect. Currently thinking of bilsteins 5100 and rancho dual dual steering stab.
Amp steps with led lighting

Really that is about it. This truck has everything else I could want and or need.
Will do a larger tire when that time comes.

If you are thinking Bilstein, why not go 5160 instead of 5100? Even if the 5160 wasn't a better shock, it would still be worth the extra few dollars to not have those awful yellow shocks with blue boots fouling up the look of your truck!

Ditto the 5160 is the one you want, even if not for the color you want the softer quick reaction.

Thanks guys I do want the silver colored ones and the better ride. I just checked 4 wheel parts and the 5100 are silver colored with black boots. Am I missing something here? the 5160 have a piggy extender on them! The 4600 are yellow and blue colored as far as I can tell.

Sorry, you are correct, 5100 is the plain one. The 5160 with the remote resouvoir is for longer travel suspensions generally.
