Nice truck!! I think my next truck will be a Duramax on 37s in a few years time. How tall is your truck when measured to the XM antenna?

Ride is better than stock. Haven't got a chance to get her dirty yet. So far no rubs. Took off the air dam even though it wasn't needed. And took off the rear tire mud flap thing for more space there.

Tires are hostile havoc 20x9r20

0 offset. Will be getting 1.5" spacer probably to push out rear tire to match front width.

It's 84" to the shark fin. Still fits in the garage..... cause I built the house with taller than normal garage height.

Quick hypothetical and sorry if its been answered. I have been looking at the Fabtech and McGauphy's 4" Kit and the RC 3.5" Kit (I know people hate it). All 3 of these are essentially a spacer with diff drop and new control arms....

My question: Would it be legit to leave my bottom RC Spacer in and take out the top (sitting at 2" level up front). Add bilstein 5100 at the mid setting (1.25") for a total of 3.25" of lift up front. Add uni-ball UCAs with diff drop and have a legit 3.25" lift and actually have equal or better angles than my current 2.5" level? You could also set the Bilsteins at 1.8" to give you 3.8" of lift and that would still be within the 4" realm that McGauphy's is offering. Or does that just sound ghetto as hell? Makes sense in theory and honestly think it would ride better than just a 3.5" or 4" spacer kit, just wondering opinions...

Is it a flash tune or a piggyback?

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
