Installed Thuren 1" front lift coils, Active Rate Sway bar and Fox 2.0 IFP shocks on all corners. What a difference this makes in the overall ride of the truck, I'm super happy with the results. And the bonus is the Fox shocks in the rear makes the rear springs way less harsh feeling too! Wasn't expecting that so much. Also threw on an AMP Research bed step, wanted the Mopar one but the wife liked the AMP better since it's larger and since she's not known for her agility lol.
Bonus question: Anyone see my mistake?

Zerks facing backward would be my guess

Bingo! Put the end link on, took the pic and looked at it and said oops! Flipped it 180 and then torqued it lol. Hard to keep focus doing this stuff with two collapsed discs in your back, took me two days to recover from this one lol.

Did that on my 1500 due to the color, haven't decided yet if i'm doing it on this truck yet since it doesn't bother me as much.

Wheels and tires mounted, and took off the front valence. Not enough approach angle with it on. Let see how many mpg it drops lol

Nice!
I just add mud flaps and rubber floor mat to my 2021 2500 limited
Did the suspension and sway bar mod worth? I don't like the steering feeling of 2500.
Is there Fox Shocks with reservoirs for RAM now?

It made the truck more enjoyable to drive and definitely more compliant on the road. You can feel the front end articulate over bumps now instead of just bouncing over them. Coming from a 2017 1500 with factory four corner air suspension it was not cutting it and this fixed it. Yeah it’s a big heavy truck and I knew that, but still knew it could be better. As for the steering, it’s old school compared to the 1500’s but aligning to Thurens specs made it easier and actually feels lighter now.
Rezzy shocks would b nice. Is it too much to ask for covers for the chrome shafts on the shocks? They look great now but in our conditions up north/salt country I would fear for their lives. A cple rock pits and there go the seals. My OCD. Sorry. They look great!

Fox has shields that attach to cover the shafts, I didn’t get them since I don’t off-road but for forest service and desert roads on occasion. No severe weather here either.

Got the bakflip cover on the bed, weathertech front mats(still trying to find back mats for 2021 Mega), and the bulletpoint mount in the dash installed. Rigged up the MagSafe charger to the magnetic phone holder and seems to hold well enough so far, don’t know about true off-road with this bit nice and easy for daily use. Need a break in the weather so I can wash it and put the flaps on.

Looks good!
Good shocks matched to springs can definitely give your truck a new feel. If you get Thuren's King shocks you can order stainless steel shafts as an option. Carli King shocks come with stainless. I do not know if Fox has the same option. Regardless of which shock you use, if you are in the northern salt country it is a good idea to wrap the shock bodies in clear 3M wrap.
Truck looks great! Do you have steps for it? Quite the hop up now. I like it without the front valence but my wife likes the way it looks with it on. I broke mine off a couple of times on my 07. Friends would laugh and give me their old ones.

Had a ton of Xpel film put on my truck when I first got it. Front and rear bumpers, front of the hood, rocker panels, the tailgate, headlights, mirrors and dually flare. Well worth the money. Your dually flare WILL get chipped up without it.

If you pull back the rug from the elevated front edge (there are push pin thingies holding it) there is a grommet/body plug directly under where your compressor is mounted. You could even just grab something to poke up from underneath if'n you intend to hide that wiring. Used that route from the bed to the dash. Came up through the floor, ran the wire towards the door and used the doorsill covers to run and hide the wiring....Just saying.
