Added a cold air intake to feed that new Borla ATAK exhaust.

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.
