Hey Aj the truck looks good man! Glad everything is working out. When I installed my 4.5" rc kit I just shoved a jack underneath the lower control arm and pumped it up so that it would compress the spring so I could bolts the lift spindle and shock back in place. Makes it super easy without having to spend money on a spring compressor. But like I said man the truck is coming along great and loooks great man! What else are you gonna do to the truck with that last $1000 bucks?

Electric fans and train horns!

Thanks guys! To answer Alvaro's question, I am really liking the Truxda leveling/lift kit. The install was pretty strait forward, and the truck rides great with no clunking or extra sounds from the front end. I highly recommend the kit.
What to do with the remaining budget.....I am really liking the idea of electric fans, but not sure if I want to pull the trigger on that just yet. I am really going to focus on the interior next with a set of Husky Classic liners and a Husky gear box.

You'll really enjoy a nice set of floor liners like that^^^

+1 on the floor liners, still the best thing I did to my truck.

very nice budget build!! so far so good!

Truck is looking great AJ. Totally agree that you need aftermarket floor mats of some kind to keep the interior clean, the stockers just don't seem to cut it.

I vote fog lights, every 4x4 I think should have them! Then once you install those, do the 6-high mod so lows and fogs stay on with your brights. I installed an OEM kit from GM on my 04 and it was a slick factory install. Maybe able to find the same for yours, or find some aftermarkets and get a factory switch

Small update!
Ordered my next addition(s) to the truck. Let me start off saying that I picked up a few dirt bikes 2 weeks ago as riding season is just around the corner! Sold the Jet skis but replaced them with a Yz450f and a TTR230 . So the plan is to do a lot of riding and camping this winter/fall so I thought I would start picking up items that would make the trips more enjoyable.
First item I got was an AirBedz Lite Truck Bed Air Mattress http://www.autoanything.com/truck-tents/airbedz-lite-truck-bed-air-mattress ,part number PPI-PV202c. What I liked about this bed is that it comes with a portable DC air pump and 16' charger cord, has a 1 year warranty, comes with a storage bag, and right now when you order with AutoAnything we include wheel well inserts so that you can use this mattress at home if you have friends/family coming over.


I have something else coming this week (had to have it shipped from the manufacture) but it will compliment the mattress very well.....anyone want to guess?

Here are a few pictures of the truck and the bikes 2 weekends ago on the maiden voyage.
