The power steps are amazing. Led courtesy lights, can be removed with a couple bolts, and we put in a kill switch to keep them in the up position (in case I don't want them to deploy when the doors open).

Also upgraded the braking to hydroboost (night and day difference, no joke), and added a steering shock on a custom mount from diy4x that is also set up to take hydro assist steering if I ever run huge tires on this truck.

Update. Truck now has complete rebuilt one tons. Front D60 with ARB and all the bells and whistles and a 14 bolt FF rear with ARB as well. Ran a dual ARB under the hood and with the big brakes and new hydroboost it has amazing brakes now!

Here's a shot showing the nice switch pod added to house the ARB switches (compressor, front and rear lockers).

And here's the 14bff rear

And the fresh 40 gallon tank

Oh and by the way (because folks always like debating this), Robert (RAK motorsports) and I argued for a while on the brakes for the rear axle. He wanted to do discs but the e-brakes with the eldorado brakes suck. So I voted for new drums. Robert had to use the backing plates off my of semi float and measure a bunch to get the right ebrake cables. But they work great!

Just explaining why I opted for drums.

They do indeed suck. I put them on my 98.5 Dodge Ram. Marginally better stopping power and a worthless parking brake. Fine build bud!
