    Recently purchased a '19 CM Platinum 2wd.
    Every time I googled a modification/improvement on what I wanted to do with the truck, this forum showed up with great info.

    Sooooo, I decided it was time to join instead of just lurking.

    So far I've replaced the factory head unit with an Alpine iLX. This week I'll be adding a pop&lock tailgate lock, retrax cover and remote start.
    I still have a long list of modifications to complete.
    This truck came with a block lift, I haven't figured out the brand, or what I'll do with it yet (adding more components or swapping with shackles or new leafs.)

    My long term plan is to add a magnuson supercharger, but that won't be until the truck is paid off in about 2 years.

    Anyway, thanks for the wealth of knowledge.

    ***
    Which ILX head unit did you go with? What others did you consider? Can you post a picture of the it installed in the truck? I am considering the F509 or a Kenwood but the Kenwoods are 10.1" which I think is a bit to large and might look funny. Kenwood likely a better product, but fit and looks are important as well. Thanks.

    Get rid of the current "lift" and get some coilovers and shackles. The ride will be so much better.
