Nice, I pretty much did the same thing but ran the wires down the passenger side.
I installed a power magic as well. Mounted beside the passenger side fuse box.
My power steering rack failed during a 2 week Moab trip. Limped it to the dealer and they swapped it out.
I’ve seen a starter die and broken rear wheel speed sensor wiring.
Some basic electrical tools like a wire stripper and some electrical tape might come in handy.
I’m running them in option 2
Option #2
+20% spring rate over Option #1
+2.25″ lift height over stock (unloaded)
+1.00″ lift height over stock w/ 400lb constant load

Pretty good looking build! I need to add an awning to my rack soon.

Short answer is basically strength. I don’t think the bed covers on the market right now can handle the dynamic loads of someone really pushing the truck like me. I was getting some air time in Moab and recently in Oregon on some sand dunes. The rack with the tent and everything else on it held...
Haven’t had time to update it recently, been too busy with work but my build thread might answer some of your questions:

I have used a 400p and I can air up each tire in less than 3 minutes.
If you’re on a budget then 400p works but 440P would be faster although a bit more expensive.
Mine made lots of noises when the shocks were topping out over bumps. After a few weeks of driving it’s much better now. Let them break in and enjoy :)
