Sounds like a decent build plan. If you're going to actually wheel it, you may want to drop down to 35's or get more lift. 6" of lift might not be enough for 37's. You'll want at least 4.10 gearing to run the 37's without lugging the engine.

I'm not a big fan of the liner on the interior. If I were looking to buy a truck, I'd lean toward one with out liner that may be hiding something. From a practicality standpoint, it is a good idea.

Are you going to wrap the seats in leather or something less prone to dirt than the cloth?
