Looks good, make sure you get an alignment…

Love the dually…

Yeah I had a set of Mud Grapplers on my 84 K20, they wore out fast, were loud as hell on the road, but unlike Texas Husker I thought they sucked off road. I wasn't impressed at all… Certainly not worth their cost…

Shitty phone pic, but thought the truck looked good coming out of the bank…

Yes it needs to be aligned, anytime you do anything to your suspension you need to do an alignment.

I've always thought these trucks look better with the air damn…

A spring compressor is just going to compress the spring, maybe it'll bring the strut un a bit. But it seems like a lot more work for something that is fairly easy to install in the first place… I was able to pry the strut up and slip the spacer in pretty easy on my 2012…

It was snowing in Vegas, so I would think it could get cold in Louisiana…

What offset are those wheels…

Does anyone know what Bolt is used on the OEM steps? I've got a set, but no bolts.

I paid $240 cdn for my 2" kit installed and aligned…

These trucks make me miss my old white 2012, and sometimes wish I had gotten white again. But, then I remember having to clay bar the truck every few months just to keep it white from all the chemical fall out…

^^^Brownstone Metallic

Look it up, people are using this shit on vehicle far more expensive then our trucks. I was at a car show a few years ago and there was a brand new M5 BMW plastidipped some god awful baby blue… I personally hate the stuff… And Maineman I think your truck looks great and I'm glad you had the balls to commit to that paint job… I may have missed it in all the nonsense, but what are the rest of your plans for the truck…

Yes really, I was asking if he actually spent the money and had it properly painted or if he cheaper out and pull on a coat of peel off paint… Plastidip is not a proper paint job, it's an I can't commit to my decision paint job… If he actually painted it and committed, then I'm impressed. But, if it's plastidip, then it's just another 'meh' truck…

^^^ Actually painted or plastidipped?

They are just stuck on with two way tape, no holes…

^^^^Once you lift a truck and put bigger tires on you can't rely on the instant MPG gauge in your trucks DIC. It's tuned to factory equipment, and not that accurate in the first place. If AZ were to get a tune and correct the tire size, his instant MPG would improve but still not be completely accurate. Best bet is to hand calculate the MPG over a few tanks and find out what your actual MPG is. Winter blend gas is also to blame here, there are additive put in it to stop it from gelling in the cold… My truck has 275/70/18's with a 2" level, it get's driven in the city a lot lately and says it's getting about 10MPG, but after hand calculating it, I'm actually getting 13-14MPG, which isn't bad for the amount of city driving I'm doing, with the Christmas holiday traffic, and with the winter blend gas that's in the tank… I can't wait to go on vacation in the new year and stretch the trucks legs, even with the winter blend I think it should get close to 20-22MPG… Before, when the truck was stock, on long trips with premium summer grade gas, I was getting 28+mpg on long trips. I knew the bigger tires were going to take a hit out of the fuel mileage, but the stock tires and clearance weren't going to get me to my fishing camp…

Try hand calculating the MPG, your DIC is going to be off with the bigger tires… I bet you're closer to 16 or 17 MPG, maybe even better then that…

Not the case in Canada most places, if not all, charge a flat rate. Every dealer I approached about the 2.25" kit I put in my 2012 wanted an average of $600 (I already had the kit)… Best I found was a Mufflerman that would do it for $450… But my 2" kit was $280 including the kit at a dealer…

It's gonna cost about that much everywhere, because the 2.25" kit requires taking the strut out. Get a 2" kit and it can be done for under $300 (depending on which kit you get). And really what's a quarter inch going to get you? As for mods in Canada, they are pretty standard laws and can be found on the ministry of transportations web site…

It'll get you 2" of lift, but it's physically only like an inch thick…

Best I have for a side shot, there some snow on the ground now, and I just got done shovelling… But hey at least I don't live in Buffalo LOL…

There is room for more tire, but how much I don't know… On a stock rim you might be fine…

Gilis' wheels are a factory offset, I believe they are 24mm…
