Welcome Daniel, awesome to see you getting out there in the mostly stock truck. I went full size in 2017 with a stock GMC AT4- diesel and loaded the bed with gear with the wife and kids and had a blast.
Things escalated ofcourse and tried adding a lift kit, wheels/tires but lost some of the oem characteristics that I appreciated too. Eventually I landed on my personal dream truck. 3500 Prospector XL, here’s a few pics it’s also original and has that OEM ride quality:
