I would advise changing out the control arms. I did a similar lift and the added height pulls the front axle toward the rear of the wheel well opening. This causes two things, one is possible tire rub on the fender liner and two is the degraded ride from the control arms being at a steeper angle. I'm in the proccess of saving the loot to do the Carli control arms to correct these issues.

The prior owner had some very high offset wheels and the fender is already cut, so no rubbing.
and the truck rides great with Kore's recommended tire pressure and the toyo muds. Handles dirt at speed very well.

SO...When I bought the truck, The PO had a bullydog system on it, with the S-O-F gauge pkg. I took out the program and put it back to stock. I also left the gauge pkg in till my edge insight gauges came in.
I would occasionally still get a CEL for the boost out of range. I cleaned the map sensor and no real change. The tk would also run a little warm (egt) higher than I expected with the stock program in. It also smoked more than usual.
I finally get my gauge and mount in and installed it this week. After taking out the old egt and replacing it, and putting in the new gauges in. The boost gauge read 10 psi at idle (******). so as i pull out the old gauge and wiring harness, I see the map sensor plug in has a little corrosion. I clean it up as best I can and put some dielectric grease, and viola. boost reads coorectly, EGT comes down about 100-150 deg at WOT. and much less smoke :sombrero:
I need to buy a new sensor
, and hope to pick up 1-2 mpg. I figure with the high boost reading, the computer was overfueling the tk. Hense, the higher EGT's and smoke.
also put on my new bilsten steering stabilizer, mounted my 2M bracket, added the 3 circuit mini harness and wired and mounted the cb/ant.

Ouch...I know...Just priorities. I have a 2010 ram, and we just bought a new toyhauler for the family. I kinda jumped the gun a little when picking it up. We have about 2-3 more years before the last kid is out of the house and im still in a rock crawling group. So..too many hobbies, and not enough vacation time, kid still in H.S.
etc...
