    Yeah, I ran into issues with time, and stuff, with work and all, so I decided to have Sierra Expeditions do it all.

    Understandable...I started down the rabbits hole going 5". Have to replace damn near everything. Rides amazing, but there hasn't been a time my dads jk on a 2.5" couldn't do what mine does as of yet. Granted I haven't done anything too crazy so far.

    Update on the lift. Still rides better than stock! Much smoother on fast little bumps than stock too. Stock would easily pack up on smaller stutter bumps, but the OME lift takes it in stride. Larger hits, such as falling off a small ledge or rock, are nice and supple. Did a Mall Crawl run, and it handles curbs MUCH better than stock ! :p

    I like it. Any details on which camera she got you? Also, was there anything you had to do to get it to work with the display? Thanks Chris.

    She got me the Brand motion kit. Came with the programer to activate it on the head unit, and all wiring. Very complete kit.

    The one thing I did was, the instructions tell you to run the wiring thru the rear vent, but I ran it thru a grommet that was to the right of the vent. It was pretty thick, so I took my time, and drilled a hole thru the grommet, then ran the wiring thru it. To run the wires thru the tailgate, I used some bailing wire, and taped the ends of the wire harness to the wire, then fished the wire thru the tailgate. That was the most time consuming. After that, I just ran the wire along the passenger side of the carpet, thru the dash (Above the glove box), and to the head unit. I tapped into the 12v plug wires for the DC outlet in the dash for power to the camera. They give all the wire for doing that, and all I needed was 2 crimp connectors.
