That rust is terrible and the exact reason I've had a hard time deciding what boards to buy. I think no matter what, I'm going to be doing my steps in bedliner when I decide.
Im just wondering if anyone who is Running D or D2 Rigids in the Sierra Fog light bracket has the Rigid Colored covers on their lights. I want some amber covers for when it's foggy but I want to make sure they fit before I order them.
I just got off the phone with BFG and they recommend 50 PSI.
On a side note, if my tires were wearing poorly because my tire shop underinflated them, is it possible take them back and ask for some sort of reimbursement? Or is it just all on me for not having them inflated properly?
I'm wondering if anyone is seeing unusual wear on their front tires. I noticed today that the tread on the outside edges looks like it's wearing more than it should. I assume it's from turning since the back tires don't show this wear at all. I've only got like 4000 miles on mine with essentially no gravel.
Pretty much all the lugs on the outside edge of the tire show wear like this, while the ones in the center of the tire are fine. I'm running about 38 PSI in the tires.
It was nice outside today so I finally got around to installing my Bilstein 5100's on the back of my truck. Now they are on all 4 corners and I love the ride. I definitely think it's better than the factory Rancho's.
I just traded my SRA's off for KO2's at the local tire shop. I got $125 each for my SRA's that had 12,000km on them. When they gave me that quote I took it and ran because I wouldn't pay that for them new.
I had Bilstein 5100's installed for a very reasonable price. I ordered the shocks online and had them shipped free to my door in 3 days from Richmond, BC. The shocks were $150 each. Install and Alignment was another $300 so my all in cost to level my truck was $600 including alignment. I know a guy who had a Readylift 2.25" Level installed at the dealer near me for $1100. So Bilsteins aren't really more expensive to do.
I don't know why either but the right side of my truck is higher too. Before my level, the right side was 1/2" higher. After the level and alignment, it's slight more than 1/4" higher than the left side. Can't notice it at all but it's just kinda funny.
Awesome review. I have the same truck and just added Bilstein 5100's to level my truck. I am waiting on the same tires as well. those pictures of your truck make me really excited for when my tires show up.
Installed my 5100's in the front last Friday.
My measurements are as follows:
Factory
Front Left = 36.25" Front Right= 36.625"
After 5100's
Front Left = 38.25" Front Right = 38.50"
Both shocks were set to max height setting.
I paid $300 for the pair of shocks and another $300 for install and alignment. So $600 all in to level my truck which I though was a pretty good deal. I know a guy who had the dealer install a Readylift 2" kit and they charged him $1200 parts and labour.
