2016 4wd, added motofab 1.5". I have parts to add 1" in rear, gonna hold off on that for now. Will wait and see what it looks like when I start towing a little more often.
Will keep stock tires a little longer, then race with 275/60/20 Cooper all terrains.

I was quoted 400 bucks to level my truck. includes rough country 2 inch leveling kit, labor and alignment. Does that sound reasonable? I think i want the maxx suspension kit though.

Do u have any problems at full lock?  My upper control arm is hitting something I don't know what. I think I need some wheel spacers to take care of that problem. I think I have a +30 range offset...........thanx

I am only hitting the carpet on both sides at full lock.  I need to cut it.  That is what the guy who installed it said.  I don't think I have any problems with control arms hitting.  I only have about 150 miles on it and haven't scrubbed.  I haven't really needed to lock the wheels.  I had 63k on my factory tires.  They were shot.  These tires seem to ride really good.  I wish I would have did this sooner.

Just bought this 2018 and put 2" front Motofab lower spacer.

 

Tires are 275/60/R20 (33")

 

Love the new look.  Not sure on what to do with the air dam yet.

All I had to do is just zipped tie the liner at the bottom...i have borla 2" wheel spacers and it made it worse rubbing on the cab corner. But when the 285 75 on truck wears down im putting those wheel spacers on and then I be drooping to 33" tire

Might be a bit on the high side.  Figure the keys are roughly $100, add $75 for the alignment and an hour labor of $100 or so.

Did you get an alignment? What was the total cost?

Did the work myself, $30 for the kit, $80 for alignment.  Toe needs to be adjusted after lift for sure.  My castor and camber were still good.  Took me about 3-4 hours, most of that trying to get the upper ball joint to let go.

    • Has anyone run these on their 2500?
    • have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.
    • Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...
    • That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
    • Engine Wear and ISO 4406   1.) Cold Starts. 2.) High Particle Count. 3.) Low operating temperature viscosity and high low temperature cranking viscosity. 4.) Depleted AW, Friction and Acid packages.  5.) High engine load.    https://me.caltexlubricants.com/en_me/home/learning/from-chevron/heavy-duty-diesel-vehicles-and-equipment/The-Importance-of-Clean-Engine-Oil-and-Its-Impact-on-Equipment-and-Business-Performance.html   High particle counts have five sources. 1.) They are manufactured within the engine. Both wear debris and amalgamation of degradation products and combustion driven soot (worse in GDI). 2.) They are ingested via intake air. Ever hear the best oil filter is a good air filter? 3.) They are entrained in the fuel. 4.) This one is insidious. They are introduced in 'fresh oil'. 5.) They are introduced during the oil change.   ISO 4406 is the test that measures and quantifies the combine effects of all of the above particle related issues. You can mitigate your way into multiples of engine life by being attentive to them all.    https://www.hyprofiltration.com/blog/is-new-oil-clean   (from the link above)    [Quote] What Is the Recommended ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code for New Oil?   A good upper limit for new oil cleanliness is 16/14/11 (ISO 4406). Typical new oil usually has ISO codes of 19/17/15 or worse, which is far too dirty for sensitive components. This can be a major cause of degradation and premature failure.
