Did it kill your power? 3.23 gears? I know those tires are heavy.

Not too bad. I have the AFE intake and Chevy performance exhaust so I didn’t notice too much of a drop. I keep it in Auto instead of 2wd and it helps (more MPG as well).  It has the 3.23 for now. Looking at a gear swap and a tune.

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

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 was considering going with a 295/60R20 which is a little shorter and a little more narrow than the full 35/12.20/20.

How can you tell which control arms you have?

Cast and aluminum can run stockers, stamped generally can’t

Now I'm curious. How does the material of the control arms affect whether or not you can use certain rims?

It’s the design, not the material. Each material has a different design

Looks great! I just traded in my 14' for a 17' with the same 20's and am thinking either level or lift. On my 14 I had a 4.5 inch lift with 35's Nitto ridge grapplers. No rub. Ride quality was ok. How's the ride quality with the rancho lift and stt pro tires? Thanks!

Turned out exactly as I envisioned. 6" Rancho, 35/12.5/20 STT Pros; no rubbing.

That's exactly the look I'm after. I have a 3" rough country lift but need just a couple more inches to get the better tires.

Thanks :thumbs: 

Ride quality didn't suffer much, I ended up going with some upgraded rancho rears and it's not too stiff.... and road noise on the pros is manageable.

      The "source" a woman, that writes the article is not a far right person. She's pretty well known "car person". She writes her own stuff, but yes it is initially posted under the Blaze, because they purchased the right to post it first, before it is posted on her own sites. It doesn't mean the info is any less valid. the article itself is not political It's not meant to discount any current actions in the Iran   Only posted the link because that's what has to be done to be legal to post the article. The Blaze is not a site I use. Lauren Fix's page pointed me there and I have to use a bypass method to look at the article since I'm not about to join the site. I've posted articles over the years from the Lefty sites, seems you didn't have a problem with that.   But you do you, keep looking at everything only through left/right lenses.   The 3 or 4 of you that participate in the some of the comments had ample chance to read everything. Other members that don't care for it, send in comments, because as they will point out, political talk is discouraged. Both "sides" complain

      Disable AFM for $0: The M5 Method for 6-Speed Trucks

      Would be cool if someone made something most people would like.   Like a plug in tune that is to the end users desire minus messing with the throttle petal factory settings. Sport, economy and WFOT.

      I don’t. The source is a far-right fake news site perpetuated by Glenn Beck. Funny how you clean up political posts and then regurgitate garbage from politically tainted sites.

      Gas Prices

      By txab · Posted

      Not a distraction. You miss the point of the article. It's not just for today's situation. Another way AI is being used and it may explain some of the prices changes when there is no apparent event to cause a 25 cent jump out of nowhere, only to immediately, the next day, begin to drop by 2 cents and so on. These situations were happening before the Iran thing fired off.   I used to be in the retail gas/service business. Pretty much a $1 increase in WTI would increase my price by maybe .10 cents. Now WTI can go down and retailers can get hit with a .35 cent increase out of nowhere.   I thought it was interesting read, since this is being used on all products we buy now
