$875 CAD + tax all in, I am sure it is a 2.25" level in the front from Ready-Lift, anyone had ready-lift done? hows the quality? advertised to be the same as stock.

 

I still think it is over priced, I want this done soon, snow is deep here where i live.....

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

I beg to differ. My dealer (Knapp in Blissfield MI)installed my RC 2 1/2 level lift for $258, which was $180 labor and $59.95 to re-align the front end.

Not all dealer are honest and will rip you off when they can.

 

 

Just to be clear, charging more than another shop doesn't mean they are 'ripping you off'.

If you want a little bit of extra clearance for winter, I suggest removing the plastic air dam below the bumper. I did it and couldn't be happier for winter. All it takes is 14 screws, 4 plastic tabs and about 20 minutes.

OK, so I can say maybe you are right. I just can't see why you guys in Canada have to pay so much. Maybe you need to take a trip down here to the states for the work... If I wasn't wrapped us from a surgery I would have done this myself. Been off work since the middle of November or I'd done this with my son-in-laws help.

Some places give you a higher rate when they think you have no idea what it should cost to do certain things in automotive. This has been a trend and done to female almost all the time.

Yeap, as soon as the level is done, that is coming off. It looks funny when not level to me i think.

Just drove on a quick road trip and was hoping for better numbers. Flat road on the i10 phoenix to California and back. 400 miles and 13.5 mpg was the average. Thumbs down.105d5e787cf9358306926497d3709b63.jpg8c87a9b8b8ee72a9a52cce11ba9f4ca1.jpg

76 mph though. I bet if you were going 60-65 it'd be better...who knows.

Try hand calculating the MPG, your DIC is going to be off with the bigger tires… I bet you're closer to 16 or 17 MPG, maybe even better then that…

I was curious how much it hurt power. How much shifting with transmission? I'm around 15 mpg with Toyo AT2 and considering Toyo muds.

0 shifting. Flat roads stays in 6th... I was suprised how bad it was. 13mpg is pretty bad for a flat freeway. ......I wanted toyoat2 but they were out of stock everywhere. ...

I assume your 5.3 with 3.42? Mine shifts with the hills on interstate. I'm debating a blackbear autocal, but really wanting muds.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      BAK Revolver bed cover

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
