speaking of lights... can anyone recommend led (type and source) for outside/rear cab?.... I remember seeing a youtube vid somewhere (maybe someone from the forum?) - but I don't think it had specifics.

I have always used VLEDS.com. I used a set of bulbs from them this go around as well as bulbs from LASFIT.com. Spend the money on good led bulbs.

I remember velds from another platform modding community.... I think I ordered some reverse lights from them years ago... looks like they have 20% off site-wide right now.

Any I'll check them out too... down the rabbit-hole I go

Added a sub & amp, used a harness from Net Audio that bypasses the ANC, with a LOC wired in. Box is temporary until I can find one that works for a Quad Cab.

That's what I'm using for my cargo and third brake light.

That does not look like a multifunction tailgate. Would that make a difference?

No, the multifunction tailgate with ramboxes do not change the dementions

Any rubbing with those bigger tires? That's stock suspension right?

Yeah slight rub at full lock during turns and reverse. I keep saying I have to trim it slightly then I put it off cause I've only rubbed like 3 times in total.

Edit: Forgot to say - yea its stock suspension.

How did you mount the remote amp gain Knob like that? Have the same amp and reinstalling the system tomorrow. Previously I drilled a hole in the side of the console map pocket and mounted it there but I like this idea better!

Tiny little LED reverse lights. $12 each on Amazon and incrediblely bright. Couldn't see jack behind me with the stock reverse lights. I used the 7 / 5 pin Curt harness. Nice little project.

Velcro, didn't want to do any drilling. I also used velcro to secure the amp.
I ziptied the cable under the seat leading up to that spot, which is a very easy place to reach.

Installed the Flow master Outlaw and Hellwig Sway bar and changed out the rear chrome tailgate emblem to a black one today. The truck now sounds like a truck should and handles a lot better. Took the truck on the highway for a quick test drive and it felt a lot tighter and well less sway in the rear while driving at higher speeds. Been reading a lot of hype on the Hellwig and my initial reaction is that the hype appears to be true. Tomorrow will be a big day as I plan on re-installing the speakers and subwoofer and sound deadening doors and rear of the cab, should be a fun one!end

Added a night shot above. There are a lot of DIYs on here for reverse lights / rear light bars. Just to a Google site search something like... Reverse lights site:5thgenrams.com

Here are the Amazon links...

Harness (don't really need this but didn't want to hack the stock harness). On the 5 pin connector, blue is positive reverse and white is negative.

Solder butt connectors (these are awesome, heat gun on high and solder flows in about 3 seconds and the plastic heat shrinks)
