    Magnesium chloride IS most definitely a salt and yes, it is far more corrosive to metal than sodium chloride (table/rock salt).

    By wrapping the trim? I doubt it. ?

    You can do whatever you want - you're 2WD! ?

    Well, I would have bought your red ones! I just ordered some!

    I thought about this too, but the wheel center cap bowties are gold and the steering wheel bowtie is gold....would drive me crazy not matching!

    Nobody's going to buy just the rear stuff.

    What do you guys think of red tow hooks to complement the red of the Z71 badges? Yay or nay?

    Thinking about red tow hooks up front to complement the red of the Z71 badges...yay or nay?

    Cleaned it up....again.... I wish it would quit raining every three days!

    Naw, it was on the driveshaft! ?
  12. lapoolboy
    Absolutely. Stock wheels are somewhere around +18 offset for reference. Negative offsets are hard to make work without trimming stuff.

    There is no sub-frame on your truck. They are apparently confused on what lift you have installed and are giving you wrong advice. If all you have is a 2" level kit, there is no sub-frame. Even if there were, there is no way to simply "move it forward" and to suggest it is ignorant. I used to respect Custom Wheel Offsets but what I just read calls that into question. ?

    Ok, the struts are part number 84535467. Stock coil springs are reused.

    Yeah, LT tires are the spawn of Satan. Rough riding bastards. And HEAVY AS HELL! These Grapplers weigh 47lbs - exactly the same as the stock Bridgestones. No loss of power, no rubbing/trimming, and speedo/odo remain correct.

    Most every review I saw on the Duratracs said they were noisy. Most every review I saw on the Grapplers commented specifically on how quiet they were. They are noisier than the Bridgestones for sure, but not obnoxious at all. My Toyo Open Country R/Ts on my 2017 were much louder.
  17. lapoolboy
    Yes they are. And I went with them for that exact same reason.

    Got rid of the craptastic Bridgestones and got some proper truck tires - Ridge Grapplers FTMFW!

    I got your PM. I'll look tonight and let you know.

    What does your work order say specifically regarding work performed?

    So, you're saying 1/4" taper on a 5" tall block solved all your issues? Interesting. I tried the OEM 1/4" shim in both directions with and without lift block installed and the issue persisted through all configurations (my block was only 3" tall too). I believe the issue is in the driveline somewhere but I'm going to have to take it to a shop with more experience measuring and correcting angles to figure it out.

    Unfortunately, it is not bright enough to see in reflections of other vehicles in front of you. You can sometimes see it though if you pull up in front of windows at a store or something. It is on anytime the headlights are on. It is "T-ed" into the headlight harness for power right behind the headlight.
  23. lapoolboy
    It comes on any time the headlights are on.

    Did you pull back on and "unclick" the red locking tab? You have to do that and then you can depress the tab on the light harness to unplug it.

    The trucks have a stock shim on the bottom of the spring back (thin end of shim toward rear of truck). Adding a tapered lift block cancels out the shim. Believe me, I tried EVERY combination and the rumbling/vibration is ever-present.
