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 have found this fabtech 6" GEN II lift kit, here is the part numbers:

 

FTS21172 , FTS21170 and Coilover spacers FTS21171.

 

The question is do I need the $150 coilover spacers? I'm willing to install 315/70R17 tires on Factory 17" wheels.

I don't like cuttings/trimmings, only bolts on kit.

 

Help me because I'm noob!

How many inches do you need to clear the roof? You could find a set of 33" tires to run while at college and keep 35s for summer and not have to mess with suspension. An aggressive 33 might not look too bad

 

That might be a good idea, although I swore to never put 33's under my lift it might be the cheapest/smartest option. I just need a few extra inches to account for uneven paving of the garages. Thanks for the suggestion!

Zoomiejr2 I have that set up and have no complaints. 6.2 3.23 4 wheel drive with 35x12.5 20s. Plenty of power!

If the highway surface is flat it seems to hold overdrive. i have not driven much on the open highway though, I spend more time on the freeways in and around the Houston area. There are a lot of overpasses and it will kick down going up an overpass.

I really like that. That is a sharp looking truck.

Appreciate it! I'm very happy with how they turned out. Just need to figure out how to take care of the rubbing now.

I'm tried going through the thread and I may have overlooked it. I'm wanting to put on 35x12.5x18 on a -12 offset rim. Will these clear on the Rough Country 5" lift?

Just finished up my lift with wheels and tires. Also took off the air dam and assist steps.

Not usually a fan of yellow, but the black wheels with yellow paint looks pretty dang sharp.

Gonna say you fellas are hurting this guys feelings. I'm to far away from my home and already miss my truck, and it's one good looking truck after another.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
