I used those 3m eraser wheels to remove our old decals. I went through a few of them, but they work.

I supposed it depends on what you want. IMO, a stock rig works well with OEM parts. I figure that they engineered all that out. My current truck (Ram 3500 dually) currently has Bilsteins on it simply...
