  1. I went with the bilstein 5100 set to the middle .55” setting. A 1” motofab lower block and some cognito UCAs. Sitting now about 1/4” low in the front on stock size tires. Originally it had 2” of rake.
  2. I went a similar route on my at4 but different components. Bilstein 5160 rear bilstien 5100 front set to middle .55” motofab 1” lower spacer cognito upper control arms seems to work well. Didn’t want to compress the spring to much so that why I decided on the lower spacers. This lifted me 1.75” and gave me a 1/4” of rake. I cut the droop stops off for the new UCAs. Ball joint angle is good and tire clearance with stock wheels is plenty. CV angle is no better off but not the worse I’ve seen.
  3. Front 5100 struts are available and give 1” of lift. I see also that the 6112 are available now as well and have an eibach spring but still require assembly
  4. I don’t think you would need to with only being 1.1” of list. Most guys are saying they start getting ball joint bind at 2” of lift. I’m probably going to go higher at some point or add a spacer depending on tire size so I figured I would put a UCA in now
  5. Catch can captures crank case vented pressure. Both heads are connected by the block. My guess is the other valve cover doesn’t have a pcv port to feed back to the intake anyways. One can is all that is needed
  6. Added oil. Moving the oil reservoir out gains more room for valving and such in the main shock tube. Was going to go with the 5100s but got a good deal on these
  7. Yup max setting and a new UCA. should just go with the 6112 but I didn’t think the front needed to much help compared to the back. Should give me about a 1/2” of rake
  8. Pretty much yup. 5100s for the trail boss are for levelled or 2” max lifted trucks so they’d work good for you
  9. Do the rears. No issues with having different front to back
  10. Did the first non dealer oil change (finally out of free ones). Shorter antenna and then added some bilstein 5160 reservoir shocks to the rear.
  11. I added the 5160 rear reservoir shocks today and they make the ranchos feel like worn out junk. Planted this truck the way it should be
  12. Installed. The reservoir sits high and protected beside the frame
  13. Just installed the 5160 rear reservoir shocks and they blow the ranchos outta the park. This thing is planted now. On the fresh compact ice and snow roads and gravel the back end used to dance around to the point of slowing down. Now it’s planted and soaks them up. Can’t wait for my UCAs so I can put the 5100s up front.
  14. The uniballs are a superior joint in my mind but the joint needs to be lubricated while slacked off and moved. I believe also you need to slack the uca bushings off to grease them every so often. Lots of YouTube videos on how to service your uniball UCAs
  15. The camburgs are nice but a uniball joint is over kill for daily driving and servicing (albeit not frequently) still sucks compared to a regular greased ball joint. I went with a set of cognito UCAs
  16. Removed some badging and added the carbon pro AT4. Black gmc front and rear. Little jet seal coat before winter and now waiting on the bilstein 5100 front and 5160 rese rears to show up with cognito control arms.
  17. Ya after I posted it I went and ordered a set of cognito UCAs just in case. Wanted the Camburgs but didn’t want to go the uniball route
  18. Ordered a set of Bilstein 5100 shocks for the front and 5160 rese shocks for the rear of my AT4. I’m planning on running them at max for the additional “ of height so I don’t need to use spacers or level kits to gain height. Just curious with the added strut height if I will need to install aftermarket UCAs or if the angle will be ok still. Anyone use these on there at4 or trail boss? thanks
  19. Sorry no videos. I used Borla part # 400500
  20. I ordered it through an online dealer in Canada. TDOT. Canada’s version of summit racing kinda. Universal 3” in/out S type
  21. Yep both flappers gone. From what I can tell, no drone. Outside the truck yes you can hear the DFM. Inside I can’t.
  22. Cabin drone is very minimal. Kinda nice with the new truck. If you removed the resonators it would sound good and a little loud but I’m sure the drone would pick up
  23. I welded in a borla S type 3” or 3.5” in/out muffler only. Kept the resonators. Very similar to the gm performance exhaust. No drone. Can only tell that the DFM is working when your outside the truck and it’s idling away. Other than that it’s a nice deep subtle growl till you open it up
  24. Installed NFAB predator pro running boards and welded up a Borla S type muffler. Sounds like the GM performance exhaust now. Hard to tell them apart. Little louder when revved up though. No drone. Can kinda hear the DFM doing its thing now. Ceramic coated a couple weeks ago with Jetseal. Waiting to put the level kit on and 34s
