These are the side step lights: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HN1YHZV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I dont know if I would go this route again. The LED chips come unsoldered/die over time, and look like the below screenshot(not mine, but representative of my experience).

 

Knowing what I know now. I would go with diode dynamics C1R flush mount, and then get a dedicated sequential LED strip. Much more expensive, but the DD products are top notch. 

 

If you look closely at my passenger side rear step, the bottom strip running/brake light LEDs are dead.

 

Some good about them is that they have all of the functions I wanted in a perfect size. Red running light, brake light, sequential turn signal, and reverse light.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Side running lights: https://www.opt-7.com/sidekick-sequential-running-board-switchback-led-strip-kit/

 

These have held up for over 3 years. Michigan winters and all. No complaints.

I would have a tough time justifying the large price difference for the recon brand.

I have these on my truck as emergency response lights for the fire department. I believe they offer solid on lights as well.

I installed the VSE Fuel System Saver this morning. The hardest part was getting the wiring harness disconnected from the OEM fuel filter housing.

Today I put a Fox suspension under my truck.  Fox 2.0 coil overs up front set at 2 inches of lift at fox 2.0 shocks in the rear with Supreme suspensions 2-inch blocks.  I also put on the black Trail Boss style wheels and Goodyear Ultraterrain AT tires.  I almost forgot we changed out the OEM chrome running boards for these black ones.  I had already done the blacked-out badging, Borla touring catback, and an S&B cold air intake.  My truck is a 2022 refresh RST 6.2 I bought it new in January.

Your truck looks great. I did the fox 2.0 also and the difference in ride and handling puts my truck much more to my liking. My wife even mentioned the difference and enjoys driving it. I did a 1 1/2 inch block in the back and I’m pretty much level at 40 inches height at every fender. I did have to adjust the headlights after going up 2 inches in front.

Swapped out the chrome lug nuts for OEM black lug nuts. Think they look so much better especially on a silver truck. Hoping they hold up over time.

Looks good!

 

Did you get the threaded/adjustable coilovers that come with springs or the clip coilovers that reuse the stock spring? How's the ride? I've been eyeing either these or the Eibachs with with a Deaver mini-pack in the rear.

Looks great. I may have to get these for mine. Dont forget the locking lugnuts.

The complete new coilovers.  Already came pre-set at 2 inches of lift and made the swap a little easier.

Went ahead and upgraded the steering the last week. Got a cover from EastDetailing (link below)($88). It did take about four hours actually stitch it together. Also added a CF trim piece from Ebay to complete the look (link below). Total cost was $110. Got more photos on my Instagram @PureZ71. Thanks!
