Did this a couple weeks ago but got all this done:
OME 886 front/895E rear
Bilstein 5100 all around
ARB front bumper
06 headlights
Wildpeaks in 265/70/17
I think the ARB front bumber was designed for the Lexus GX470/460, from the diagonal lines next to the front headlights. The GX is also wider. IMHO.

Finally got rid of my reverse rake. My truck was pretty level when I bought it, as a previous owner installed what I believe were Bilstein Yellow shocks and front springs from a Tacoma. Anyway, because I carry all my renovation tools in the back with a plywood cargo platform, the added weight made the rear over an inch lower than the front, which I’ve been living with for about 7-8 months. So, yesterday was the day that ended! Finally installed Icon 2.0 shocks and OME 895E springs. Totally transformed the look! Now, I just have to wait until I see if it settles a bit before deciding what I’m going to do for the front, as it sits about 2” lower than the rear currently. I can’t believe I lived with it like that for so long!:ybrick:

Finally got around to replacing my front shocks with bilstein 5100 set to the second perch. Also replaced my shock mounts, sway bar bushings and end links.
It drives better than it did when I got it (near 100k, currently at 60k)
Flat in corners, doesn't dive while braking, doesn't rattle over bumps. I just dropped it off for an alignment but it felt great on the way and not even far off on the alignment.
I did run into a few stuck fasteners, mainly just the top shock nut. Neither would come off and it would just keep spinning. I've came off with an impact, the other had to be cut off. I was trying a no compressor method but since the top nut wouldn't come off I had to use one. It worked fine. If it wasn't for those it would have probably taken around 2 hours. With the hiccups it ended up being close to 6. First side took longer, second side was maybe an hour.
Got lucky that I didn't snap any belly pan or sway bar bracket bolts.
I was going to do cv axles as well but felt we were running out of time. Overall it looks much better, closer to level on stock springs and 5100s all around. The drive is night and day. Wish I would have done it sooner.

A picture with the headliner down.
But overall it's pretty simple get the headliner down, unbolt the 8 bolts/ nuts holding in the sunroof, remove the assembly and then reinstall. I think now after doing it, I could probably accomplish it within 2-3 hours at most now.

Tried to pair my new fob with the truck. No luck. If anyone can help me out, that would be great.

Could be--I would think they all share similar architecture.
2nd gen 4R rear sway bar links
front sway bar relocate
Tested winch shut off switch--works good but I'll need heavier gauge cabling going to the battery.
