Installed new struts all around.

Was it REAL difficult to install the new struts? I am getting a 3/2 lift and I have to go through almost the same type of process to install that I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it alone

Replacing the stock struts wasn't too bad. If you can do a brake job you can do struts. Took almost3hrs at a local DIY auto shop. I helped a buddy replace struts on a '08 with the 3/2 lift it is pretty difficult alone. Recommend finding a buddy. Rear wasn't too difficult but front had to drop A arms to fit the strut with 3inch attachment. Not sure about your '03

Installed a new set of 6000k hi/lo hids and put in new led fog light bulbs.

I love the fact that xlts cone pre wired for fog lights, ask I have to do is mount the fog lights, hook up the loose fog light wires behind the bumper and install an oem headlight switch that has the fog light switch built into it and that's it!

Technically I didn't do it, but the dealer did. I took my '08 in for a few items: oil change, ac problems, and the TPMS light stays on. I have only had this truck since May and since July I have been laid up with a bum foot from surgery, so I haven't been able to take care of much since then.

ac problem: the compressor was leaking and the txv valve was bad.
tpms problem: the sensors in the wheels were incorrect. Previous owner must have swapped wheels with another vehicle. All 4 sensors needed to be replaced.

Also, they found I had a leaky right front axle seal and half my fan shroud was missing.

Since I am not in any shape to do the work myself, I gave them the okay to do all the work. I pick it up this evening, and my wallet is about $2500 lighter. I knew if the ac was involved it wouldn't be cheap. This took care of some nagging issues and restores my peace of mind.

Replaced the serpentine belt. It went pretty easy with a 1/2" drive ratchet and a piece of pipe for extra leverage.

I replaced the fan controller sensor.

Was that from empty? If so wherever you are from that is insanely cheap lol.
