Very nice, see the side stripe went away, not a fan either. Did you put on some load resistors for the LED turn signals?

Angles with the 3" is just fine, had to cut the plastic on front bumper for clearence although it still rubs slightly at full lock. yes i did use load resistors for the front turn signals. For the tuner,it does have better throttle response and i can feel a bump in power slightly, i dont have any economy numbers really, since i dont drive the truck much and the wheels and lift were put on directly at the dealer so nothing to compare to stock.

So you did both the 3" level kit AND 5100's, what did you put the 5100 on, stock height?

That has to be the configuration, I'm going to be surprised if a LK and the bilsteins are both providing lift..

We have installed 2.5 LK's on 2011's and it was a bear getting everything back in.. I can only imagine a 3" LK and bilsteins on a preload setting I can see a lot of contact and things in a bind in that situation..

I still can't decide if I like those badges. I think if they would of reversed the colors than it would of been a lot better. The truck is looking amazing though!

Great looking truck! I just got mine two days ago and it is similar, except with Plus package and Supercab design. Oh, and without the snow. Love it.

Had time to play around with the bullydog gt gas tuner. Thoughts: tuned it on the premium fuel setting. I find that the truck just wants to go, throttle response is super ecessive barely tap the pedal and it shoots up to 3200rpm and you can hear the turbos spool much more loudly than stock. It wants to get into 6th gear as quickly as possible, so the shift points are very low. spins tires like crazy, right into 3rd. It is super quick though. There are 4 setting, stock, tow, regular fuel and premium fuel. havent tried the others but i placed it back to the stock tune, i find it just to aggressive to drive on the premium tune.

anyone else have any thoughts of there own if you have one aswell?
