I carry 10" long 2x8 cribbing to level my truck for sleeping.

GMRS=more users but short range Ham=long range and fewer users Some parts of the country have more CB users than anything else.

Half inch is a lot on the front, I would say springs are tried. A set of Eibach springs should fix it. It's pretty common to see the rear vary up to a half inch.

I went with a AT and I'm kinda kicking myself for not going MT, except when on the freeway at 70.

No matter the winch you buy I would recommend you do 3-4 minor pulls with it. Keep duty cycle to 20%, do not over heat the motor. This should break in the motor and gear box and expose any defective parts. The imports can be good units.

35's? Very nice.

I thought about warranty replacement when away from home. Auto Zone has good batteries and over 6500 stores across the country. My truck came with a H6 LA and I replaced it with a H8 AGM. I normally get 2-3 years past warranty on batteries.

Friends with the Smittybilt are happy with them, I got a smokin deal on a used Warn Zeon 12-s otherwise I would be looking at a Smittybilt or similar.

I use a single 5 gal Jerry can stored on my swing out. If I need more I have a few 5 gal VP race fuel jugs leftover from my drag racing days, strap them inside the bed, extremely heavy duty jugs. The VP's are cheaper than quality jerry cans.

I have Onstar on my truck and it can track and disable the truck from a remote location. Stat tracking devices are cheap but have a monthly subscription charge. Can give minute by minute location info. I see 1 or 2 local posts on stolen rigs every week around Orygun.

Sun visors and OEM storage can be limited. I have a flat platform over my rear seats and use a 56qt tote. A molle seat back organizer holds a lot of stuff. I just put a molle seat back organizer on the front of the pass seat (I'm always solo) holds all the stuff you edc, extra water bottles...

I invested in a few 24V tools early on and then bought a 10" 24V chainsaw of the same brand. In a saw only, no battery it was dirt cheap. Now I see 40V and even 80V battery tools. This has lowered the price of 24V batteries, I just picked up a 6Ahr 24V for $40. I use the saw for firewood...

Cow, pig, bird and Mountain House.

I use a 7 gal bucket, it's taller.

Deavers, OME, Atlas, AAL are all options. I did a AAL to me stock leaf pack but eventally I went with a Deaver pack.

Currently there are only two options for shocks on the ZR2/Bison platform, the OEM DSSV's made in Canada and Kings, made in USA. The Z71 model of the Colorado has several options for shocks but it has different suspension.

The ZR2/Bison shocks and cast iron LCA are made in Canada by DSSV.

I have a drawer system under a Softopper. 80% of gear is stored in the drawers, 6' bed is my sleeping area. Softopper folds down in minutes when I need to use the full bed. FaceBook has a Softopper page with lots of info and different setups.

You're going to love it, outstanding on road and off road. I'm 2 months from my 4 year anniversary.

45K for a low mileage Bison sounds like a fair price. Used prices are thru the roof right now and GM is not taking orders for new trucks. If you like the Bison bumpers I'd buy it.
