I've pulled all my carpeting. No problem with heat and I live in FL. I would guess it be about 2 degrees warmer than before.

First thing in the morning I'm installing the AEV 3.5 Dualsport RS lift. Going with 35" Toyo Open Country R/T's. Here is a before pic and a shot of the new rubber.

Replaced the SB speakers with a pair of infinity 5032's that I had laying around. Really helps the stereo. Caps on the way for the tweeter mod.

more like the last month, dirty dog cargo net, led tailights, high lift jack and mount thanks to forum member, and fox shocks (such a difference in ride compared to the rc)

Good luck! You asked for that. You'll be fine. My lift was my first ever as well. Allow for the whole weekend to complete, depending on how many components. Take your time, measure twice, install once. If you are getting adjustable track bars to re-center the axles then what I did was mark the stock position using a laser before install. Brought it back to perfect. Oh and take measurements before hand if you want to know how much lift you end up with.
