    What’s your preferred suspension setup?

    Dream suspension is the Dobinsons MRA full kit. I read the Accutune comparison of Kings and Fox and I was pretty set on Fox then did more and more research. Ended up landing on Dobinsons. Good reviews all around and financially the full kit(including spring packs)seemed cheaper. So, that's what...

    Headlights DRL issue

    It's all the time. Anytime I switch to DRL the driver side doesn't turn on. I'm not super worried since I am in the market for new lights.

    Headlights DRL issue

    I have the spyder sequential headlights and when the truck is running the DRL D-side don't turn on. Anyone experience this? See below. The first is when running without switching to DRL. Second is when I do switch to DRL. DRL switch is good. Inspected wiring and didn't see any visible damage.

    Has anyone or does anyone know someone who's done brake pad comparison? Might be time for me to change mine and just want to know if there's difference between OEM and what some companies may call "performance" or "offroad" or "towing/offroad" brake pads. TIA.

    I once took out the entire seat (there's bare metal on the frame and wanted to clean/paint plus wanted to see if there's anything loose) and still didn't help after tightening everything back up. Just like you, it's pushed all the way back and with music loud enough, I don't notice it as much lol.

    N Never done that. This was an issue even before I went from stock wheel/tire set up to aftermarket wheels and 33's. It's become a "characteristic" of the truck. I've come to terms with it.
