Big boy trucks need big boy shocks

2001 Ram 2500 Cummins. Just got it back after a pretty decent stay at a fab shop.

We swapped to a Dana Super 60 up front and Sterling 10.5 rear, both geared to 4.55 with an Eaton Truetrac. We also added Carbon 4.0 bypasses to help out the 4.0 coilovers because that engine bay gets HOT.

A little bummed we're not quite ready for desert season yet, but we're getting close. Need new steering (what's on there works, but not great). Move the limit straps so they stop rubbing the bypass tubes and figure out where the hell the bump stops are going to fit.

Then a new front driveshaft, and we'll probably do the rear while we're at it. Somehow the stock rear driveshaft actually bolted right up, so at least we can cruise on pavement while shuttling it between various shops.

Bungee Cord Alternatives?

Not seeing anything on the internet thus far. Anyone know of. Good limit strap keeper that's not a bungee cord?

​

Currently considering DIYing a keeper out of nylon and some sort of elastic

How would y'all install new flooring?

2001 Ram 2500 with a cage. Currently a mix of bare kilmat, OEM carpet, and carpet tiles.

Want to go away from carpet to something that doesn't hold dust, but the biggest thing holding me up is how on earth do I deal with the cage? Tuck it under and silicone the gaps maybe?

My upholstery experience is limited to repairing small tears and paint matching.
