Switched out my rear IRONMAN FOAM CELL PRO 3" lift coil springs for a set of OME 2" progressive rate 2721 springs to level things out. I also removed my running boards and sprayed the frame and under carriage with Fluid Film FFM-AS11. I know it's somewhat subtle but I think it looks much better now.
I treated the under body with two applications of CORROSEAL rust converting metal primer a couple of weeks prior to applying the Fluid Film. I will post a few photos of what it look like now. It definitely looks so much better now that most all of the ugly surface rust is gone. I plan on re applying the Fluid film every year before they salt the roads. This year we have been lucky so far with no snow.

Looks good. What paint did you use, and prep, etc?
You REALLY need to take off that front plate...
And lose the Wal Mart tow hooks ...
Huge difference, hard to capture how much it changed in the pictures. 3M kit.
Got the sombrero too.

I used "improved braking" as an excuse to work on the truck. New rotors (cryo’d DBA), pads (Hawk LTS), powder coated OE calipers, stainless StopTech lines.
Only had a couple minor catastrophes. Then I took a Costco jar of Advil. Bedded them in on Lake Shore Drive early this morning (got my Ferris Bueller on). I think it really improved things.
I got help from all over Mud. @bjowett @suprarx7nut @landtank @cruiseroutfit @Taco2Cruiser @linuxgod
I’ve got some used brake components with plenty of life. They aren’t pretty, but they’ll work just fine. (Keeping front calipers)

Those look awesome! How did you bleed from calipers?

My son stepping on the pedal. I bought a Motive and a specialized adapter, but it wouldn't come close to fitting. Took a few tries, lots of air.

Rock warriors. I think it has to do with the lift. The axle had already shifted to the left from lift
Added all LED lights
Lowbeam, highbeam, fog lights
it made a big diff in brightness from stock

You need an adjustable panhard bar to get the axle centered again

Following @Narkhelek 's lead and added a handle and stacked aluminum spacers for a home depot expedient mod to the $14 Amazon coolbox tray.
So u bought the tray n handle from HD?
