FCB29478-2F6D-4C26-B55B-2AA2BC6B9715.jpeg With my truck being in route and on it’s way home I am already planning on what must be done when it gets here.

Any recommendations on what’s absolutely Must Be Done on these trucks? And I am not talking about adding tint, clear bra or detailing it... I am more curious to know if there are any upgrades must me done to improve reliability, performance, towing, ride quality, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Depends what you really are going to do with the truck. Whats your plans, hard core off roading, mall crawling, somewhere in between?

Some mods to consider
Weather tech floor mats
Bed cover
Pedal Commander
exhaust
fog lights for the front bumper opening
Icon attitude adjustment level kit
catch can

If you plan to off road hard then that opens things up to other mods

feel free to message me and we can go over what would fit your needs and budget. We offer just about everything

I don't have any plans really ... just really like how it looks so decided to get one :)

I race my Porsche at the local tracks and I am not sure i'll have much time to get into off-roading at this moment, but like any production car I am sure it has some weak spots that needs to be addressed so I was curious if you guys can recommend what needs some attention :)

Some of my friends use Raptors to tow trailers and it seems like truck sags quite a bit when towing a trailer. So it would be nice to figure out how to keep it somewhat leveled during towing and not to affect day to day driving.

Bumper lights, wheels and a power kit is def on my to do list but do not consider it as a must :) more like why not to do it haha.

Better rear springs would help with sag. There are a few options that have a firmer spring rate to assist with that and will also help the rear feel more planted when driving unloaded as well.

We can help you with that as well if interested.

Seen a few windshields get ate up on these trucks. The truck is plenty fun from the factory. My top three mods for longevity and utility are as follows

1) Clearplex windshield protection film

2) Folding tonneau cover

3) PPF/Ceramic coating
