Quarter inch spacers aren’t to bad? Would that be for the front & rear wheels? As long as I can use the factory wheels & run 35’s and keep it some what tucked in. Fender flares help with the look also. This build takes some research

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

4 inch fabtech uniball or knuckle lift? 4 inch lift with 35’s would be an nice set up! Not to high so I can still park in the garage!

That looks awesome! That maybe all I need is 4 inch lift. Any spacers needed use the factory wheels? Ride quality? Stabilatrac issues?

I've been told by several shops that the fab tech is good quality kit.  

 I went with the zone 4.5 zone..  And added a leaf in rear. 

I kinda wish I went higher....   

Gonna go up a notch on Bilsteins.....  Soon after all settles......

Truck looks great. if you had to guess, just how far out did the Zone push the front track? I really don't want to push the front track wider, but I don't want an RC bracket lift either.

Also, Who did the lift? Yourself or a shop in the Houston Area?

It pushed out inch& half.  

I had a local shop.  Cutten Customs install.  

Using a 4 inch block in rear and adding a leaf really helps this truck a lot.

Nice to hear none of you guys having stabilatrac issues.?? That is the one thing holding me back from installing a 6 inch lift. That and I want to use my 20 inch Denali wheels wrapped with 35 KO2’s!!

Wouldn’t think you would need anything in the rear?

looks fine to me! What wheel and offset? I'd probably change from a 0 offset to a +18 - +24 if I go with a Zone. Cutten Customs has been around for a couple decades, they do great work work. Also, one of the few authorized Zone dealers in our area from what I understand. Thanks again for the info.

Zone/BDS and Pro-Comp are all compatible with Stabiltrac. I'm sure there are others, but those are what I know off the top of my noggin.

Yup no problems.  Truck drives and performs great.  Gonna get a good test in few weeks..   Going to Moab ?

 

Wheels are 20X10 but a -12... Running a 34 inch X 11....  So I stick out little further than I want.  I already had the custom rock stars before the lift.

These newer trucks only have 3 leaf springs in rear.  They squat easy with little load and ir towing.  The extra leaf helps a lot.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
