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.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
