Nice! We had a B-2 flyover here in KC

And keeping with the spirit of our thread, I’m loving my 2” Bora wheel spacers!

Thank you.

I have factory Rebel takeoff wheels and tires, absolutely love the look. I added 2” BORA wheel spacers to help push them out.

I have installed Bilstein 5100s on my ORP, so basically 3” higher than normal in the front, and 1” in the rear.

Got my Maxtrac lowering kit installed today. They forgot my rear struts but the factory ones work fine until they get here. Also installed the Hellwig sway bar while under there. Love the look! Friend of mine helped me install it, he has the same kit on his 19 9DF00929-D482-459E-AD58-E1C192970599.jpeg 4FBAF33B-F03A-4CFB-80A1-E1F2C8DF4F6A.jpeg

How much did the rear end drop?

3.5” but it should settle the rest of the way
It looks really good. I am considering dropping the rear of mine as well, but I am really only trying to remove the factory rake. I have a 4wd and have never lowered any truck, only wanted to raise. Can't really justify for my pocket book to raise the truck and want to get new tires, when mine are brand new. But IMO those white letter Bridgestone tires we have on our trucks would not look as good on a raised truck as they do on a lowered truck. I saw they sell just a 2" rear lower spring; I might just try that and see how I like it

Yea that should be an easy swap.

Installed 3 out of 4 infinity 6x9’s in the doors to replace my HK speakers and did a little sound deadening while I had the panels off. I’ll get to my drivers side tomorrow. I really feel the infinity 3.5’s will fit in the front doors with just a small spacer or something as the magnet width is really the only difference between the factory 3.5 that’s installed and the infinity one...
Also added some weatherstripping to my tailgate to fill in that 1 inch gap that lets water in to the bed

Contemplating this. Any tips/tricks?

Yes, don’t call RC they tell you to look at the instructions (which are terrible BTW). make sure you have a smaller reciprocating saw, I used a Bosch 12v. The only thing that worried me was taking the plastic pieces off under the headlights to remove the grille i thought I would break them.

Any chance you have a link to that weatherstripping? Curious if you have the rambox... the gap on mine is giant!

Are you referring to the side gaps? I just noticed those this weekend when unloading the truck and something fell between them.
