Markups seem to be a western US thing. That's Why I bought mine 1500 miles away. There's a dealership here in Phoenix that has a new Bronco Raptor on their showroom floor for $150K. They know some idiot will eventually buy it.
I'm in Phoenix. Same thing here $10K-$15K mark ups at local dealers. I bought my 2025 on ebay from Montrose Ford in Ohio. $1300 for transport to Phoenix. Best car buying experience I have ever had. $500 below MSRP. They did get me for AZ sales tax but that's on anything you buy anymore.
Pretty happy with my Process West intake. I did switch out the K&N for an AFE washable dry media filter. I can't attest to any HP gains. There probably aren't any until you get to WOT like most bolt on performance products but you can definitely hear the whooshing of air when standing on the gas...
If your thinking about the ADD you should watch my install videos that exposes all of their fails. I will be ordering a bare Bodyguard for the rear in a couple weeks and have it finished myself after mods.

2000 Hummer H1.
Well built 640HP LBZ Duramax with Stealth 64 bearing turbo fully deleted and 5 DSP tune
Allison 6 speed and custom 2/4 transfer case
One of the very few 100MPH H1's on the planet.
I think for the fear that the bumper will fall off on a wash board road. Especially if the ADD install instructions were followed and the bumper was mounted with the supplied 3/8-16 bolts and nut plates.
It should take them about 15 minutes to do this. I have no idea what they will charge but you should notice a huge improvement on the ride. It probably rides really stiff right now.
Rock sliders from GOAT Manufacturing (If they ever get here) and a GooseTune should finish up this year. Already have about $20K in upgrades and just made my last payment. Looking forward to being debt free in January. Thats the best present.
Christmas came all year.

Ditto what John said. I would also think that with a heavy load in the back your ride height sensors are working overtime and possibly overcompensating. These are great trucks but they weren't built for hauling or towing.
I've had these drain problems with both my RR and my Explorer ST. There is so much stuff still running in the background even when parked. I also get the message on my connected app telling me to go for a drive to charge the battery. I have always had to keep them on trickle chargers. I wonder...
Sensor mounts. These work but there is a tiny notch that is on the wrong side of the opening that needs to be trimmed out for the sensor to drop in. It's easy.

Dummy sensor for the outer corners...
These look great and I just ordered an angled set. Can anyone tell me how long they waited for these? 25% off right now with free shipping using code BF2025. I dumped my shitty factory sandpaper running boards on day one before the truck even made it into the garage. 9 months and 900 miles later...
Since I was ordering the amber DRL boards from Signature LUX I figured for a few bucks more I had them send a set of their pedal covers. Good quality and easy to install. I nice little dress up for the boring black pedals.
Hi Chad. I agree on the bumper. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. I have been a machinist for 40 years so having access to a lot of equipment that most people wouldn't really helped me get through the install.
My truck rides fantastic. There is no difference in handling that I can tell but...
