ya its a done deal.  but i think ill be happy. why ya suggest the rear spacers? is it my offset or is it the fact the rear is narrower from factory/stock n it will look/stand out as so.. thanks again for your feed back, its very helpfull


Not sure if the 4” lift gives you new spindles like the 6” but You may get the widened track width poking out your front wheels so you’ll need to add rear spacers in order to balance out the look. If you have to get them look at Bora spacers, apparently they’re the best/safest. Just make sure to re-torque on every tire rotation.

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

Wait till after the lift and wheel and tires are on then you can take some measures, you’ll want it to match front and rear, would look off following you on the road. What shocks you going with?

BDS is owned by Fox and a reputable company, I wouldn’t worry about the quality. As long as your CVBall joints are in good position you should be fine. Again, don’t worry about it, any issues there’s a lot of us on this site that can give helpful advice

Iirc you”ll want to use 1.75” spacer at least without having to cut your factory wheel studs. Quite a few people go with 2” just because you cant tell from naked eye and eliminates any cutting of factory stud. Bds is top of the line im sure you'll like it

I did 2” bora spacer on my 6” BDS lift and you really can’t tell. I would spend money and get a quality spacer. Last thing you want is wheels falling off.

If you just ordered, cancel it or reject it unless it’s to late. But, you’ll be fine, you’ll definitely need rear spacers probably 1.75”, hope it all goes well for you.

You will like the BDS. I have the 4 inch BDS with fox coils and no wheel spacers. You honestly cant even tell the track width difference unless you know what your looking for. Somebody walking by your truck will not notice it. Turning radius is fine. BDS is top notch. Great choice.

Picked up my truck Friday night after having the 4" Ready Lift installed. Looks great to me, and drives great too. I'm happy

      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.
