+1 on this question. My 14' had the 5100's on the 3rd setting (loved em) and they lasted 100K+ miles before I replaced em.... Now I don't know if I should stick with a proven product or fork over the extra cash for the 6112's on my new 18 (#memorialdaysavings)

Finally got a lift on my truck...

2014 1500 4x4 LT. I'm on the 1.26" setting. I bought these shocks after i found a new fly fishing hike that begins where a fire road ends. That road was so i washed out i was bouncing up and down like a jackrabbit on crack. I seriously could not go faster than 5-10 mph without the front end uncontrollably hopping. The weekend after the install I went back to the same road and gave it a whirl... now i can just zip right through most parts. Overall it's a very firm ride that leaves me feeling "in control" of the truck at all times. These are definitely one of the best buys i've made for this truck.

Well I agree on both of your stealership comments... And both of you just confirmed my thoughts on the posi. I've never had any rear drive vehicle lock up before so its just the oddest thing. I figure there might have been some secret someone knows about to keep that rear diff free I.e. maintenance, switch out the existing fluid and use a different brand of fluid, keep my foot out of the throttle lol etc.. Some simple solutions I guess is what I was after. Thanks for the comments thus far

2014 Silverado LT 1500 4x4. So i was coming back to work today and i chirped the wheels in the driveway as usual... Then I noticed something funny as I pulled into one of the stalls. As I made the sharp left to swing into the spot I felt like my truck's 4x4 was engaged. I say that because I had to press harder on the gas pedal and it felt like the rear tires weren't pushing the truck. It was reminiscent of being on the trail and hearing the engine push harder to get the tires going. In any case, I pulled in with the rear left wheel hopping and semi dragging. I was going no more than 5mph BTW. So i straightened the wheel and backed straight out. The truck moved just fine. As I turned the wheel to swing the front end left in reverse I could hear the rear left wheel "hop" on the asphalt/rocks. I stopped and turned the traction control on/off. I then pulled forward a little in a turn and same symptoms. I then turned the 4x4 from 2wd to 4 hi and then back to 2wd. After each engaged I started turning right to go down the driveway with the wheel still hop/dragging. So I deliberately hit a bump to see how it would act. As the crest of the bump i heard a LOUD pop. After that I could turn the truck sharply and the rear wheels wouldn't bind. It was back to normal. Any thoughts?

It's funny that you said this. I've been to Yosemite and Groveland twice in the last two months, and have 1 more trip coming up in August. So +1 on the added lighting; it's a practical necessity on those highways. I'm really looking forward to using the light bar for the first time out there. BTW, I plan on wiring it directly into the high beams as well for exactly the same reason that you cited. Yosemite ROCKS!
