  1. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. That’s if you raise the rear as well when leveling. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I had to buy new 20x9 wheels with a plus 1 offset which fixed the issue. You’ll also need to buy new rear shocks leveled or lifted. I ran Bilstein 5100’s. This was the finished product 2.25” level with 285/60/20’s. This is the current setup with a 4.5” CST lift and suspension. Rides just like stock, a ton better than the leveled setup I had. I will never level anything ever again without doing front coilovers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Yes. I ran 275/60/20 KO2’s and they rubbed on stock wheels. With new UCA’s you should be good but call them and discuss it with them just to give yourself added security. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Clean truck, Love that blue!
  6. That’s about where my 2028 CC Z71 6.2 was before the bigger heavier tires and a lift kit, 18-19mpg highway now, thanks to the SuperChips Tuner. I only run Super [emoji39]
  7. Do a small lift, preferably a CST 4.5” lift, lose the 360 degree multi color lighting, then you’ll have a bad ass looking truck!
  8. After having my truck leveled before, I’d only recommend what my personal experience is, CST coil-overs, but there’s almost no way getting away from some sort of road feel especially running E’s or F’s. The CST lift with Coil-Overs actually gave my truck an enormous advantage over being leveled. I’ve heard Fox coil overs are known to ride a bit stiffer too. Either way, you’re best bet will be coil-overs or stick to stock.
  9. Considering their aggressive look and excellent off-road capabilities, they’re very quite. I was running the KO2’s before the Nitto Ridge Grapplers and the Ridge Grapplers are actually quieter, much quieter than the KO2’s. I’m constantly getting compliments on them. Recent pics
  10. Ummm, you running on natural gas there?
  11. Which tires are you asking about?
  12. I do believe some water does get inside but very minimal and nothing to get me to even consider sealing with those pads. I love it on long trips especially when you don’t want to take everything out just for a one night between destination. A buddy of mine has the Retrax and he prefers mine too.
  13. All those tri-folds are garbage! They’re all styrofoam sandwiched between two paper thin sheets of aluminum. RollNLock is what I’ve got and is AWESOME! It rolls on stainless steel bearings and locks with metal locking mechanisms inside the bed walls as well as a locking tailgate (removable option). Very clean, very user friendly and most of all it’s extremely secure!
  14. Mine are the coil overs designed for the 4.5” lift I’ve got the front CSR 3504 and the rears are CSR 6530’s, absolutely ZERO bounce. If you want a leveling strut, CST makes the CSR 3503 which will give you, I believe up to 3” of front height which I wouldn’t recommend without new UCA’s. I was actually about to switch from the 2.25” leveling kit I had to that CST 3503 but I’m sooooooo happy I did this setup instead cause I would’ve spent twice as much.
  15. Btw, I ran over a few speed bumps pretty hard in order to breakin my Bilstein 5100’s. I even put on brand new 5100’s as temporary shocks after the lift in order to have something to compare to. Once I switched and went with CST Coilovers, I new I had a winner with the CST. CST actually runs and tests them on the vehicles they sell them to be installed on, quite possibly the main reason they’re so far higher quality. Bilsteins are far better shocks than stock, that’s for sure.
  16. You’re correct, confused the two.
  17. Btw, the 6112’s are identical to the 5100’s only they have knock-off resi’s lol
  18. That’s cause they’re performance shocks, mine rode the same way and softened up after a month or two. The 6112’s are not made as well as CST, FOX, KING or ICON. In my opinion, after comparing Bilsteins to real performance Shocks, Bilsteins are beginner, entry level shocks. I found Bilsteins, their resi’s have molded plastic caps on the ends, very cheesy. Remember, Bilsteins are not necessarily valved as the upper name brands, they need breaking in.
  19. Well, I gave you the #, try it out. I know on weekends they’re on skeleton crew.
  20. Not sure if I’ve already posted the finished results here.
  21. I’ve picked up on a whole lot of that going on, on these forums
  22. I believe you have me mistaken with someone else
  23. Give you some advice, didn’t notice whether it’s a 15 and up but mid 15 the dreaded new stamped UCA’s came to be and I myself had serious issues leveling, adding 275/60/20’s with horrible rubbing. Pick out your tires first and see if they rub and go from there before you invest in wheels too. This way, you’ll know the offset required to clear in the event it rubs.
