Thanks for taking the time to do this. I still think it's not that bad. Mine will be even less because I will have 20 inch wheels, which will have more back spacing. Time to pull the trigger.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

I have a 6 inch lift with 35's and a 3.42 rear gear along with a cold air intake, flowmaster super 44 muffler, tonneau cover and a diablosport intune programmer and I get anywhere from 14-22 MPG depending on weather. It doesn't like the cold.

At what speeds do you see the mileages? More specifically around 35-40 mph, 60-65 mph, and 70-75 mph. Just curious if you could share!

Finally got a couple of photos to post but when I tried to do it they were all upside down. When I view them on my computer they are correct but when I pick them to download to post they are all upside down. Anyone know how to fix that?

Finally got them shiny side up.
I'm not 100% satisfied with the outcome. I just don't know exactly why just yet.
Hoping that in a few days I will figure out what I want to do different but overall I like it. Just not sure I consider it "done" yet.
Opinions are appreciated. Maybe someone will hit on what I am not seeing. Might be wheels, tires, rake, etc. Its just something.

I think it looks great, is that with the 4" BDS lift? And what size tires? Maybe some amp power step would look good, I feel the stock running boards make it looks lower than it actually is.

How much rake is there? I really don't want too much and I am definitly looking at ordering that kit now. Did you get the basic kit or did you get either of the two upgrades avaliable?

Its the BDS 4" kit with the fox rears. I did not get the optional rear spring pack but may still do that.

The tires are 275/65/20

I think they look OK. I wasn't really looking for a super aggressive tire. I also do a ton of highway miles so didn't want the excessive noise you get from big blocky tires as well as not wanting to have to replace every 6 months from wear. I don't know exactly how much rake there is. I will try to get a better pic of the truck on flat ground to show. Its not a lot and I think its less than it was originally but its still there. I may try a smaller rear block. I also spoke to BDS about the rear springs. I may try those just to see how the ride and towing is with and without them.

It looks perfect its exactly what I want to do and now finally I see what the stock 20s look like with aloft and they are perfect. I would only go with blackballs out on the tires. How does it ride compared to stock? Did you have to trim anything? I am hoping a 35x12.5 will fit the 4in with stock 20s. Do you have a lot of axle wrap I was going to get the 4in with the replacement leaf springs to avoid axle wrap.but not sure if its needed since the rear is only lifted a couple inches, I ordered the max tow package which has beefier springs it seems a waste ti replace them.

I was looking at this post again and these pictures. Have you tried removing the mudguards/flaps? I'm not a fan of them an maybe that's what's keeping you from being satisfied with the outcome. If that doesn't do it, just as mentioned already, try removing the running boards. It would make the truck look taller

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.
