$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.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By fm2176 · Posted

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.

      That’s what I’m wondering is if the stock backspacing of the factory wheels will clear new upper control arms and such
