How’s the ride quality compared to stock?

Honestly hard to tell any difference from stock so far. I haven't driven it much but I feel like its stiffened up a bit but in a good way. Less front end dip when braking.

The recommended service at no cost was:

- Rotate tires
- Change engine oil and engine oil filter
- Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required
- Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake
- Inspect CV/Universal joints
- Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses
- Inspect exhaust system

I had them also do a wheel balance.
Thank you. Similar to the 20 & 30k service. I‘ll do that soon since im at 12k miles.

Not today, but last week, gave the wheels a good cleaning since they were looking a little rough. Used chemical guys Diablo wheel cleaner and VRP. Here’s the results.

The wheel cleaner didn’t wow me. I don’t think it did much more than a normal car soap couldn’t do. The tires ended up still faded and brownish after the cleaning. But VRP is pretty amazing. Got the tires looking black. I also use it on my vinyl wrap and interior plastics so it’s pretty versatile.
A week later and the tires are still looking pretty fresh.

Bilstein 5100 level yesterday. Bora 2" wheel spacers all around today. Much better stance. Don't mind my filthy truck. With all the fires around here it's impossible to keep her clean right now.

I keep pondering the spacers. Would be interested in hearing anything about wet weather handling and mpg when you get some time on them

Will air still be escape the cab with the vents covered?
I made a baffle of sorts out of cardboard stuffed with a micro fiber towel and a cut out at the bottom. Hopefully there's enough air flow
