Fla Eagle

I installed myself. Not any harder then other trucks I have done, except the control arm bushings were difficult to press in without having a press. The polyurethane bushings wouldn't shrink no matter how long I left them in the freezer.

I installed Bilstein 6112/5160 and Bilstein control arms to give the front a 1.2" lift. I think they should have come this way stock. I get that it's a truck, but GM's off-road oriented truck probably shouldn't have the same rake as a regular truck and a little bigger tire. It's not perfectly level and I'm good with that so I can still use it as a truck. Currently have 285/65-20 ridge grapplers that need to be replaced soon. These fit stock but needed a 1/2" wheel spacer to clear new control arms and a mud flap delete after spacer.

You can add a switch to the bed. Here's what I did on the refresh.

I added a switch in the bed that works the same as the switch in the cab. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/260999-20225-cargo-bed-lights-secondary-switch/

Dang, I'm surprised those rubbed slightly. My ridge grappler dimensions are the same width and slightly taller then the Mickey's. Maybe the refresh sierra is slightly bigger? They look good on your truck. How do you like them?

Yeah I had seen that before and was an option. The switch was given to me and I think it looks factory especially in the location I put it.

Only reason I used the harness was just to make it simple to connect to the Ford switch. You could do it without it or any other momentary switch.

It's a ground signal that goes to bcm.

Ford cargo light switch harness. I think it was $34. Didn't get a part# for the switch as it was given to me and I didn't take a picture of the back of it. My friend had ordered it for a 2022 f150 but he had to order for a 2021 as the 22 was too new to be in the system.

Routed through hood release firewall grommet

Switch panel screws

Route a single wire through firewall into engine bay and underneath to tail light. Cab wire to the switch and connect the ground.

Remove connector from back of switch. Make t tap to grey wire coming from truck cargo switch.

Remove side panel on dash, bottom panel under steering wheel, to access 2 (7mm?) screws that holds the left side switch panel in place. Remove switch panel. All these come off pretty easily.

Removed unnecessary wiring and connectors from Ford harness.
