1. Installed AMP power steps

2. Installed the Auto Stop eliminator which is amazing 

3. While I had the front dash apart I ran my charging cord inside to hide it and out the a/c vent. Switched phone holder to a magnetic kind. So far so good

Wow, your rear linkage is WAY further back than mine.  My rear brackets are about middle of the rear door.  Instructions say use that hole....why did you decide to use a different one?  I assume to even the spacing to match the front linkage? but please confirm.

Good question  The instructions said to use second to last set of holes but some models don’t have those. Looks like you’re set at the 33” mark where I’m at 16”

What the hell man?!?!  Is there that much difference between three crew cab trucks?

Yeah I dunno...makes no sense at all. I mean, we have the same exact truck, just in different colors.
 

Was yours made in MX or US? Maybe that’s the reason? Mines an early build US model.

Got the Husky wheel well liners installed today. Super easy, only took 30-45 min. Subtle difference, but definitely worth the protection.

And a good night time, post wash picture.

I’ve been wanting to do this.  What kind of mounts did you use?

I made some rubber standoffs out of hard rubber hollow tubing and some 3/8” hardware, just stuff I had laying around. 3.5-4” long bolts and some nuts and washers to anchor to the bedside knockouts, slip the rubber standoff over the bolt and tighten down, mount the jack and then add another set of washers and nuts on each to lock it down.

Far as I know I’m the first one to put this set up on the trail boss. I called and ordered the kit directly through Eibach and they said they’ve only installed the struts and springs on a standard 2019 Z71 so far. So I took a little risk but they fit perfectly, I’ll be posting more feedback about everything once I get a few miles on them but so far so good! 

How much did that cost you, did it add any lift or level up front. How is the new ride compared to stock on the trail boss.

I paid around 700 for everything. The front is adjustable via 4 perch settings on the strut, I’m on the 3rd from the bottom so second to highest perch. I gained over an inch lift over stock so the truck is leveled but still has a small bit of rake which I wanted. The rears are just struts so no lift just better ride quality, I still have the TB 2” block in the rear, but I’ll be changing the leaf springs next.
To me the ride quality is much better the Rancho’s. Stiffer but not jarring, much more controlled steering now. Haven’t had them off-road much yet but I’m very happy with this set up.

Folks... my wife gave me a set of red mpg caliper covers that say "DENALI" on them. It doesn't really work with my set up. So... if anyone here wants them just reply and let me know. I'll ship them to you. No charge.

    • Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv
    • davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
