RECON stubby antenna. Drove around a bit and I have zero loss of AM/FM quality. (Although I am in a fairly big city...)

Currently filling in my grill center bar to give it the 2500 look. Truck already has a 2500 bumper and just got a set of these bezels with a solid center bar.

Did you do fronts as well or just rears? Really wanting to replace shocks on my truck but keep getting torn between bilstein and Eibach


I’ve had all 4 corners with Billy’s for about 65k miles now, love them. Run fronts on highest setting.

Did you buy the bezels by themselves or did you have to buy the whole headlight assembly?

Bought them separate off eBay. Really cheap. They are an overlay for the factory ones. So if you get them and paint them make sure you tape off your stock lights and paint or dip the factory outer bezels in black. That way no one will notice if some of the stock bezel show a little around the edges.

Hard to take a good picture of this because of the matte black and window glare. I put on a rear window vinyl over the weekend.

Ohh I want one lol... when are you installing it?

Installed Bilstein 5100s in front/rear with 2 inch block in back. Fronts are at highest setting.

 

I think it still has too much rake. I wanted to keep some rake but don't want more than factory. Looks like I'll be raising up the front a little more somehow I suspect.

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
