    Added a generic light bar to the lower valance, wheel spacers, Thule rack and oil/filter change. I have a set of 5100s coming next, then some taller tires in the next few thousand miles. I'd love to eventually get some '18 headlights as well, but they're just so steep it's hard for me to justify right now!

    Now to decide on tires. Leaning toward Nitto Ridge Grapplers or Exo Grapplers in 285/70-18.

    I got a pro and loved the ride before. It doesn't mess with that warm cushy feel. To sum it up, just makes the truck better. I love my pro before and didn't want to change feel either. However, with trd rear sway, shims, shackle, bushing and steer kit from elkstrom, if u can imagine my truck feels even better than before and I love the feel even more. That's even with bigger tires and spacers.

    Yes tip, do it now, u will not regret it. I noticed a big difference and do off-road a little. I'm not taking my nice new truck out in the woods and beating the shit out of it, I got my quad for that. But u can still go off-road with it and probably won't notice huge difference. Maybe a slightly stiffer ride, slightly though, more of a sporty feel for the road. For anyone that commutes or uses as d.d. this is a must. The only way I wouldn't recommend is if people are always doing serious tough offroading, otherwise it's a go. Install was simple and straightforward, the only tip needed is use a torque wrench, don't forget lube, and it don't hurt to either have an extra set of hands to hold in place while tightening, this can also be accomplished with sticking something under like a bucket or jack. That's it. Go for it and report back. One of my very first mods and no regrets.

    awesome to hear. i already have +2 shackles with poly bushings on the rear, have 1 shim for each side in the front sitting in garage waiting to be installed and larger tires and the ride is still nice. i guess the sway bar is now on the list for things to add. i dont offroad hard or often so on rod comfort comes first. worst case scenario i pull it and sell it. thanks for all the help fellas

    U won't pull it, I almost guarantee it. I didn't think I could get my pro any better in the ride and comfort feel. However, I'm very happy to say with all I've added to mine I was able to surprise myself. Usually with most mods there's a give and take, u can make something better usually at an expense to something else. I can honestly say with all I've done, nothing has been sacrificed, everything either feels or acts just about the same, if anything it's only got better.

    The only thing I feel I've might have sacrificed a bit considering every 1 of my additions, might be the mpg slighlty. Even so, not bad either, maybe a mpg. This is also not the truck I would have got if that was something I was worried about. Every single 1 of my adds imo have made my truck much better. The only negative if you will is the added weight which effects mpg and stopping power. I don't give a shit about the around 1 mpg difference and i got a plan in mind for the stopping power when it's time. A big break kit in my future and boom, I was able to take a truck I loved and didn't even want to change much about, but did anyway (bc I can't help myself) but I tried keeping in mind only changing things to make it better, still keeping it what it was.
