I own FastHeadlights LLC and we do work on headlights all the time. I just took the orange out and replaced with some switchback turn signals :)

 

 

Can we get some more pics of the front of your truck?

What did you tint your tail lights with? how many coats? Any chance you take a pic with the tail lights on and not the breaks? I am ready tint mine. I have a white truck and dont want them super dark and would like to keep the tail and brake lights as bright as possible but just take the red out when they are off if that makes sense.

Finally got all the mods on (for now). I did the rough country 3.75 inch combo kit (2.5 inch leveling kit with the 1.25 inch body lift). Also went with Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ 275/65/20 on the stock rims. Absolutely love how it turned out.

Added the. 5" wheel spacers. Bumped them out just enough to make me happy.

 

What .5" spacers did you use? I need roughly this amount to satisfy me, but I've been unable to find bolton spacers in the .5" size and I was under the impression a .5" slide-on spacer wouldn't leave enough threads on the studs???

Looks great man one of the best yet....how hard was the body lift install

Here is a picture of the tire the only one that was not too big I guess. Dumb. 295 70r18 factory rims.

 

 

Looks good, and it looks as if there is a good deal of room. Congrats. Truck looks awesome. That will be the tire and size that I will go with. Had those exact same tires on my last two Fords and there were no issues at all. Looks like they will be going on my Chevy now. Thanks for the pics.

Can you give some front and rear pics, some showing how the truck looks with those 275s on. Kinda curious how wide they look with the truck on a 3.75 combo and 34s

I just got some cheap ones on eBay from wheelcity. I also bought some et style lugs. I wasn't real happy with how many rotations I got on the lugs.

I like your lights! Where did you get them, or what did you have done. Sweet truck!

 

This man also did the work on my headlights, I can definitely vouch for his work. :thumbs:

 

I also ran across something yesterday you guys might find interesting. I saw someone run 35's on a single 2" leveling kit with almost 0 rubbing issues so he claims. Anyone else try this setup? (forgive me if this is old news, haven't had time to browse the forum lately)

That's what I'm saying lol, if he really doesn't rub with no trimming like he claims I'll be all over some 35's for my pickup.

Whenever my tires run out ( about 1/2 life) I'm going to try 305/70/18's (34.8"x12") on a 2.5 level and 1.5 body lift. It'll be a bit still, but i'm going to try it at least. Hopefully someone will have the answer by then, but that's my intent. 295/70/18's as a backup.

    • Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions? 
    • 2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!  
    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?. 
    • He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it. 
    • I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
