Yea, okay, I like your rack idea but I like the rack on my girlfriend better.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'd love to see some close up pics of your install. Looking to do something like that with ours so I can put our generator back there and lock it down for traveling.

If you ever do decide on wanting air bags for pulling a trailer, you should check out RoadMaster Active Suspension as an alternative: Helper Springs | Overload Springs | Roadmaster Active Suspension Kits
Not only does it help with keeping your truck level, without making your ride stiff when empty, but it also helps in resisting axle-wrap and gives extract stability.
As far as accessories, you can check out my ride and the accessories I've put on. (just view my garage).

Here's a list of mods I did (that wont void your warranty):
bilstein 5100 shocks
2" front leveling kit
xd monster rims
35" nitto trail grappler tires
amp power retractable side steps
will post picture up soon so you can get an idea
i didnt f with the steering stab because i dont think there's anything to fix there, steering is spot on for me.
the one thing that remains is installing an adjustable track bar, which i will be doing this weekend. the 2" leveling kit shifted the front axle over 1/2"

Few more questions.
Much difference between the Icon shocks that come with an Icon stage 1 leveling kit and Bilsteins?
If I go with Bilsteins and the Icon leveling kit, what MFG part number am I looking for, front and back.
I know that the adjustable pan-rod bar is not necessary with such a modest lift, but are there advantages to adding it?
Thanks!

It's a must have if you want your front axle to be centered.

Thanks. I've figured that out after researching more. What are the reference points that can be measured to see how far off things are?
