Climate is some snow ice in the winter. This truck will never see off-road. Well very little lol.

I brought it home today. I'll take pics tomorrow.

Congrats! Well I can't offer any help with the snow/ice part exactly. I have toyo open countrys on my 06 and have had them in light snow/slush once and they were OK otherwise been a great street tire. My 99 has bfg all terrains which are also great on the street but get chewed up in the dirt quicker. My brother has general grabber red labels and loves them on and off road rain and mud but never had them in snow. I'm getting the red labels on both mine when these sets are done.

At least the tuners I have experience with are that way. And they also act as an interface showing alot of good info on the digital display.

What kind of driving and climate do you do/are you in?

Yeah, the dealer can tell how many times its been flash even when the factory tune is reloaded. Which leaves them an out for warranty work.

Hey, what are all the important parts of a lift? I'm hoping this one was done right. What do I need to look for?

Can you see a brand name? If not can you post up some pics of the lift?

Generally in the back is blocks bolts and shocks, maybe shackles.

Up front should be drop brackets for the front cross member/differential and for the torsion keys/mount. Extended spindles, sway bar links and shocks. They also usually add support bars from the front drop brackets to the torsion bracket. Some also come with a carrier bearing drop bracket.

Its can depend on the manufacture/style also though. Some have different designs but are generally same.

Looks like a rough country lift.

I would get 35" tires when you replace yours. I don't known if I would even put 37's on my 06 with the 8" of lift .
