What have you done to your K2 today?

When I bought mine it was only 1k for the system. Bed cam, both side mirror cams, wireless cam for my race trailer. I had to buy the tire mirrors separately. Now they have cams for the stock mirrors, but they stick out from the side, not underneath.

As far as programming, that is what the dealer said they had to do because the signal was not correct. Were they lying, who knows. Truck had zero miles, the camera system was also new on the market at the time...

Do you happen to know the part # for this kit that allows you to use your stock mirrors?

I do not know the number. Maybe try looking on their website, I know I have seen them. The camera is mounted on the outside edge, to me it looks like they would catch on things.

Finally drove it after a month of it sitting in the garage. Forgot how much fun a 6.2 is

Put on new Eibach rear shocks and 2” Motofab lift blocks. One of the original rear shocks had no resistance for the first two inches of travel so it definitely needed replacing. Pulled the front shocks off to add the new Eibach shocks and springs on the front tomorrow.

I remember seeing the Intellihaul system, but I lost interest since I wanted to retain my original mirrors as I do not have a need for tow mirrors.

They make the camera caps for the smaller DL3/DL8 mirrors FYI

Got the front Shocks and springs on today. Gained 1” over my 1-3/4” leveling spacers. The factory springs had settled 1/4” so the Eibach springs lifted it exactly 2-1/2” higher over stock height. Fender height measurements are with 32.5” tires. Went for a short drive on county roads and the ride and handling seems much improved.

Looks great! Do you have any pictures of the truck since installation?

Did you use the 2nd notch?

I'm doing this exact Eibach upgrade in a couple weeks.

HoosierZ · March 1, 2021

Thanks. I’ll snap some pics later today.
I set them on the lowest notch. That leaves me with only about 1.5” of down travel in the front suspension. I would be leery of setting them on the second notch since that would leave you with less than 1” of down travel.
If you’re planning on doing the job yourself, these Eibach springs are no joke. My spring compressors are built heavy duty and the 20mm diameter screws on them were flexing under the stress.

Snapped a quick dirty truck pic leaving work today. Still has the winter wheels and tires on (LT265/70/18 General Grabber ATx) until this weekend when I put the summer wheels and tires on.

Installed new tires and rims, and blacked out all my emblems, and most of my chrome pieces. Also, completed the OEM off-road light kit, with the OEM light switch.

Really love the look. This is about how I wanted my truck to look a year ago or so. The bed rack and trail boss wheels are pretty tough to come by so I abandoned that idea. Solid looking truck though 10/10 [emoji108]

Interested in the front end of your truck, I see you took out the lower air dam, which I was planning on doing but what is in the center tucked in with the tow hooks? Doesn't look like any skid plate I've seen before, love the way it looks as it sits

Wow that looks great. I guess I didn't realize the 1st notch gives that much height.....really no need to go to the 2nd notch for me.

You're right about the massive springs. I'll remove my springs & struts from the truck, then I'm paying a friend to swap them over in his garage. He has heavy duty spring compressors, whereas I just have smaller compressors. Plus I'm chicken.

Thanks. I built the skidplate in the center of the bumper with 1-1/4” tubing and a piece of stainless.

Thanks. To me, it actually looks a little higher in person.
