Ive been looking at this kit and it seems pretty straight forward and basic and easily taken off to go back to factory ride if I trade it in . No cutting , welding ect... which is what I'm looking for .

 

Whats your thoughts

i see you have the daystar 2" leveling kit.. so is 1000 dollars worth two more inches?, you could do a 1.5" body lift for far far far less and be at roughly the same stance and still be able to return to stock if you wantedand if youre one of the people who say "im not a fan of body lifts" i can assure you you would not notice any gaps or anything

Agreed. I don't care for the RL kit anyway. It's a bad design and it's waaaay over priced.

Thanks for the heads up on the RL kit.

 

No I don't like BL's ...lol but it is a good cheap way to get a better stance. A 1.5 bl would be perfect height , BUT I have a sprayed in bedliner and would have to cut the bolts out of the liner , put the 1.5 blocks in and have it retouched/sprayed up which will be an expense too.

 

I also heard that 1.5 its do NOT have relaxation brackets for the bumpers and some cutting may need to be done.

 

I just want to do things right and not have it look cheezy.

You could also get the Rough Country 1.25" body lift. It comes with all relocation brackets. You won't touch the bed liner because the bed bolts thread up from the bottom, no touch up required.

Why would you have to cut the bolts out of the spray-in liner? Did you get the underbody sprayed too? The body mounts don't go through the bed like they used to. They use a cage nut design that is hidden in the sheet metal braces under the bed. I installed the zone 1.5 body lift on my 07 and thought that it was a nice kit. If you get the rear bumper brkts or HD bumper pads you can hardly tell it has a body lift.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
