My First Build

[Dave Snyder]

Adding the cap, roof rack, and awning induced a little body roll. Not bad but enough that my better half said something. I replaced the factory sway bar today with a Hellwig Suspension Products sway bar. This sway bar is at least twice as heavy as the factory sway bar and is adjustable for lift and stiffness. I have it on the lightest setting right now and I can already feel a difference in the way the truck handles. I'll run it as is for a while and see if I need to adjust it from there but so far I'm pretty happy with it.

Added a NOCO AC Port to the truck today. I made a backer for it so the screws could bite into something besides the fiberglass truck cap plus it covers the screws on the inside. I chose the one with the 16" pigtail. Pretty easy install.

Before and after photos. Got the Icon Vehicle Dynamics suspension kit installed this week. Went with a stage 4 kit. 2 1/2" of lift. I'm liking the way the truck looks and the ride is much improved.
