  1. They have a metal bar that runs through the back. Then they have clamps that would hold it onto the bed rail. I just used the existing clamps from my cover and hung it from them. They were on clearance at the Canadian tire store here for $10. I had to buy them. Lol.
  2. Got the deck off, tonneau cover on and cleaned her up... Also found some handy storage bags that clamp to the bed. Works great to help organize the hitches and straps and stuff...
  3. how much height difference did you notice going from the level to the lift? Also do you find the ride better or worse? why did you switch? Looks great btw.
  4. I put a 2.25" keys up front and turned them up and then a 2" block in the back, it keeps it with some rake still. When I first picked it up the Upper control arms were hitting the stops so I had them turn it down a hair. But now empty I don't have any CV noise but when I load up the sleds on the deck and use 4x4 at full lock left or right I can hear a clicking from the CVs so I would imagine the weight out back pulls the front up just that much more and thats why it only does it when I am loaded.
  5. Beautiful truck.... leveled or lifted? what size tires are those?
  6. Finally got the sled deck and the sleds on the truck. Sure miss my 8' box though...
  7. ya these are the lifetime guaranteed Gatorbacks. And thank goodness for that. I ripped one off in a parking lot the other day climbing an ice hill I probably didn't need to climb lol... quick trip to the dealer and I had my new flap, no questions asked.
  8. Looks great! and Answered my question about that size of Duratracs. I think I am going to go with them when it is time to replace my stock Duratracs. I need a little bigger tire but I don't want to deal with rubbing. Only thing that looks different is my rear wheels look closer to the rear flap than yours. Could be just the type of flap though.
  9. I've got 12000 kms in 3 month on my truck so far. We have been using it for the family trips and I use it for my daily driver. Living up in cold saskatchewan I decided I had enough of my Cummins and always having to plug in when it was cold out or set the command start to run every 2 hours if there was no place to plug in so I decided to go with the gas. So far I have found fuel mileage is affected by how fast I drive, I have the 4:10 rear end so mileage is much better at 90-100kms an hour but I generally run the 110-120 mark. Haven't really pulled anything big with it yet though... The test will come in the spring when I have to haul the boat to the lake. Its a 23' Tritoon and pulls like a big sheet of plywood in the wind lol.
  10. Your picture didn't work, I really wanted a Power Wagon but I want to haul a sled deck and It would have been way over the payload so I never pulled the trigger. I was pretty disappointed when I found out the payload ratings on a 3/4 ton truck was less than an F150 lol . I'm glad I went with the Chevy. Its been a great truck so far....
  11. 15 day road trip for Christmas from Northern Saskatchewan to Nanaimo BC and back. Got caught in the rockies and had to spend an extra night when the highway was shut down. Hit alot of bad roads and snowy conditions but the truck performed great. Very impressed with it on the challenging roads. Fuel mileage was what I expected so I was happy with that too.
  12. Central/northern Saskatchewan. Ice was between 15-19” on Montreal Lake that day. It’s about an hour North of Prince Albert SK. There was a huge crack though because of all the warm temps and when we crossed the crack you could see the 2 pieces of ice move and water squirt up out of the crack. It was a little scary in the new truck. Lol.
  13. She sits just right with the load on the trailer.
  14. She needs a bath but the weather doesn't want to cooperate.
  15. I really wish the guy with the white chev would have been parked there again. I think I am as high up as him now lol. before the lift after the lift
  16. Seems like its always dark or snowing when I get a chance to snap a picture of my truck. Just did a quick 1300km road trip on the weekend and she ran like a champ. Definitely likes the fuel, but you gotta pay to play.
  17. No it’s on the Chevrolet website as one of there limited edition models, so it’s North America wide.
  18. Ready lift 2.25" keys up front and 2" block out back... next will be a little bigger tire to fill the space better lol.. Better photos to come once the weather smartens up...
  19. before level on the bottom and after up top...
  20. The picture doesn't do it justice but I got a little altitude adjustment done to her... a 2 inch rear and about 3 inch front. Still has some rake, which is what I want for towing, but at least she sits a lot better. There was a 1/2 ton with a 6" lift next to it in the service bay and my 2500 was as high if not a little taller, so I am happy for now... bottom picture is before, top is after... same day...
  21. This is my new truck. Its a 2017 2500 LT Z71 with rubber floor! Only had it about 2 weeks now and so far I am enjoying it. Previous truck was an 03 ram 2500 with a cummins diesel so its still an adjustment going to a gas.
