Thank yall for the replies. I'll definitely put some padding over the sound mat to help with noise then. I like the look and feel of carpet but living in the country with gravel roads and 3 dogs i don't feel like vacuuming every other day as well. Now time to see if i can source a pre molded pad or use the Jim Lane method.

Looks good. I really want to go with carpet. It will just get hastily ruined in my next of the woods

Cool grille work.
I was eyeing out your shackle flip parts as well the other day. They look good.

It lifts the truck without using a lift spring that usually ride stiffer that a flatter stock leaf spring.
Or the big gain for the stock height truck crowd, is you could ditch your block under your spring reducing axle wrap under power.
I have been toying with that idea on my lifted white crew.
Doing a a shackle flip for the rear axle, then loose the blocks to keep the axle wrap to a minimum without adding traction bars.

Pulled the cluster and replaced all the light bulbs. Also, cleaned the circuit board with an eraser. No signs of corrosion, but now the AMP gauge works. I even got the speedometer hooked up correctly. (the second time...)

Oliver explained it well. It also adds greasable urethane bushings at the shackle end, which helps the shackle move freely letting the spring absorb bumps. After 23+years, the stock shackles can freeze up
