Thanks bud, it’s gonna get a little taller with bigger tires and the 1.5” BL but it’s really not that bad to daily.
I used a RedHead box. They didn’t have the exact part listed on their website. I sent them an email asking for a list of the boxes available for my year, make, and model. I got an email back with a list that included, the original replacement box(which is what I got) and some 2500/3500 box options that fit the 1500. I went with the 1500 direct replacement unit which is a 3 turn unit and plan to upgrade to the 2500 4 turn unit if this one doesn’t hold up to the lift and bigger tires. So far it is working perfectly and I am more than happy with the way t he steering feels but I have only been driving it for a couple weeks now. More time will be needed to really report on how well it will hold up.

Thanks guys, I am really happy with how it’s turning out.
It feels like a brand new truck, which it almost is, but everything is so tight and it rides sooo dang smooth with the Bilstein 5165s. I got the longer shocks swapped out on the rear this weekend but need to start feeling better before I tackle the coil springs and what not, I was fading fast doing the shocks and was just laying there looking at the coil springs like there’s no way I am doing that today. Lol

I did this thing, it was fun haha. I never drive like that. Probably did 10-15 launches in 20mins. She still gets up and goes for a big girl.
@BlackBearPerf

Haha cut me some slack I had the black lung papa.
Did another thing that was a blast! This little cannons not bad for the money, I have other tips to make more foam but I wanted to see what this was like. Def made washing s truck this big easier. And the Adams detail spray and H2O Gaurd and Glass spray are amazing! Good deep shine and super easy to work with.

More boring driveway photos for record purposes.
Going to do the rear springs after lunch today so I went out and did a dry wash to get all the pollen off. Then used the Adams clay bar mitt and mother’s detail spray to remove all the trash and water marks from our horrible well off the back windows and and put on a couple coats of RainX.
