5RWill

Back from the shop. Passeger rear panel replaced, new windshield (third one lol), new bumper installed with Dually D2s. They couldn't install the HIDs for some reason. I'll have to do that this weekend. Dually D2s are hooked to the OEM fog light switch. Probably add another set of pods at some point. Eibach 2.0 coilovers, reservoir rears, and Dirt King UCAs are on the way. Need to tint the windshield ASAP and tune out the AFM ASAP. Will install the coilovers Christmas week.

Should look great once you get them on.

Here are the pics of 0 offset

What did that run you?

New bumper (front) rear was installed a couple of years back when i got rear ended. HIDs, Dually D2s. Dirt king boxed UCAs, Eibach coilovers & reservoir rears on the way. Truck is about to get a major face lift.

Gotcha I'll have to see what the coilovers do when I install them out of the box then adjust from there.

Eibach 2.0s and rear reservoirs on the way. About to to jump on Dirt kings sale for boxed UCAs. Took the cutting wheel to the under chassis hooks so they wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb. Windshield just got replaced so that will have to be tinted again. Dually D2s are installed, I still have to put my HIDs in. And possibly might be ordering the skid plate if anyone is familiar with FFR beadlocks? https://ffrbeadlocks.com/products/skid-plate-for-2014-2018-gmc-1500-for-high-clearance-front-bumper Then will be on to the bed liner and tune.

Awesome, did you adjust the eibach's at all? Just ordered the pro-truck 2R suspension. Is it hard to install a rear block? I'm going to install the coilovers myself, but wasn't sure about the rear. I have bilsteins at 1.85" that pretty much leveled my truck.

Looks great did you have to install a rear block?

I think it’s less. I looked for a picture but didn’t see any I’ll get one for you in a day or so. My truck is currently getting some cosmetic repairs and new bumper installed so I’m in our 2500hd.

I’ve been running method 17s NV with 0” offset with 295/70r17 for years now. This is my second set of the same tire. So collectively 100k on the methods. They do stick out a little and honestly i had planned on fender flares without rivets but idk if I’ll get around to that. It’s not terrible. 295/70r17 will rub at full lock its not terrible though and doesn’t require much trimming. My next tire is likely 285/70r17 rugged treks. Mainly cause they don’t make 295s FWIW if you get into heavy mud or clay it will throw it all over the truck due to the offset.

Any issues with cognito SM UCA ball joints over the years?

Agreed anything past 1.75" i was told by shock surplus to look at new UCAs. I think I'm going to snag some on black friday with the eibach 2.0s

Any updates on this?

Think I'm going to get the Eibach's as well for my 14. How do you like the ride? Are you coming from stock ranchos? From my understanding you don't need UCAs with the Eibach 2.0s less you intend to use all the ride height adjustment that Eibach has incorporated into the coilover.

At 120k on my 14 sierra 5.3 crew cab. Only issue I have ran into is I think my coolant sensor is going out, just needs to be replaced. I also remember hearing a lifter tap but I think I'm going to disable the AFM system and tune it. Currently on my second set of Toyo RTs at 50k on them and just got scratches fixed and windshield replaced for the second time lol. I still love the truck. However having been in my dad's 23 6.6 duramax while mine is at home and my brother having the 3.0 diesel AT4. I can tell you for certain I'm going 3.0 duramax in my next truck and likely will just get the AT4x or ZR2 with the 3.0 and run the hell out of it. All that said I feel like I'm set to go another 80k on this truck.

Holy thread resurrection Batman! Been a while since I’ve done anything to the truck. Still running the same truck at 120k miles now with no issues. New bumper got installed after some cosmetic defects were taken care of. also had a rough country rear bumper installed after rear ended like 2 years ago. I’m on my second set of RTs that have 50k on them. Latest upgrades are chassis unlimited octane bumper, rigid industry D2 fogs, morimoto HID (i still have to install these). I’ll probably move to 285/70r17 Cooper rugged treks soon. Then planning on maybe fox 2.0 coil overs and new UCAs by the end of 2024. Will have some of the underbody trimmed and painted to remove that ugliness

Thanks bud. Yeah a little at full lock but that's it. I'm thinking of going 295/70/17 MTs after this set wears out but i'm sure they would rub worse. Could alleviate that with Kings and UCAs though.

Still what's in my sig. 295/70/17 and Bilstein 5100s at max ride height, so 1.8" or so. Have headers in storage waiting for warranty to expire, morimotos and Rigid lights that i've neglected for years i'm about to install. Wish i'd have gone ahead and upgraded to Bajakit's chase kit. New UCAs, Kings, and Deaver leafs would've been nice. Buddy of mine in my dental class likes to go on wheeling trips so might be doing that come our two week break in May.

Was surprised the RTs got me out of this, still impressed by these tires. Running em at 30 PSI. Went to go get a doe down a turn road surrounding a flooded rice field that was pretty much rotten. It got sketchy at times. I should've taken pictures of the ruts left behind, they looked like tractor ruts. This pic doesn't show it cause it was at the end on higher ground. Oh side note i need fender flares.

Traction mainly. The RTs aired up don't really work that great in mud. Airing them down really allows those shoulder lugs to be of use. I saw it on a review and normally wouldn't think it meant that much but having been in some of the mud here between both pressures it seems to work. I don't have to spend them so much in the 25-30 range like i do in the 40 range.

They do slightly rub, least on my truck but it's at full lock both ways. I don't have a tape measure here but am going home this weekend and can get you a measurement. I've been running them at 40PSI for nearly a month since the last tire rotation because i'm in Jackson now at the medical center. I'll get off for the holidays and air them down to 30ish and run em like that for most of december. Thanks man i wish i could've kept it going longer. I started school and everything has come to a halt. I find out if i'm in Dental School on the first. Still haven't put the headers on. Though i'm almost 100% positive i'm going to do it over christmas break. Since i got the the city my mileage has taken a serious beating. 11-13mpg in town and 15-16 on the highway at 70ish. This is with premium too. I might get slightly better with pure gas.

Pretty sure the 6112s are the same height as the 5100s. 1.8" If you're wanting more with a an actual shock lift i'd honestly just skip the 6112s and go grab some kings. You're nearly there in price anyway. And you can have anywhere from 0-2.5" of lift, at the expense of rid quality of course, but it would be level.

He's approaching 7 but still looking young and heathy at 92lbs. I would take him everywhere but he exits right above the gas tank and slides all the way down. Coupled with his claws it's big scratches.
