In my opinion, your tires look good in that picture. If it were my truck, I wouldn't change it.

Just FYI, they're the same. When I was researching my rails (went with Westin HDX), Havoc was on backorder and they actually told me on the phone to buy the Nfabs because they're the same rail. Nfab and Havoc are sister companies.

I was told they are two different companies. I was able to negotiate a much better deal on the NFabs. They also have a lifetime warranty, the Havocs did not per the rep. 

 

Those also dont look like Westin HDX to me, I looked at those and they were much more angular. Perhaps it's the photo or a different oset I never seen. Either way, looks good.

Yes, they are 2 different companies but owned by the same parent company (hence sister companies). At the time, I wanted the Havocs and hadn't seen the Nfabs, it was the Havoc rep that told me to buy the Nfabs because they weren't sure how long the Havocs would be on backorder (and about them being the same step design). Lifetime warranty would sell me on the Nfabs over the Havocs.

 

Yes, the Westins are an entirely different look. I read about some Nfab quality issues (at the time) and widened my look. Got down to the Westins and Magnums. The Westins have some of the biggest steps of any step rails on the market (front steps are a little over 15" wide, back over 11" wide). Then I found them on Amazon, and between the Amazon deal and a $33 Amazon gift credit I had, I saved $100 over retail. Sold. And honestly, I really like the Westins.

 

I also like the Nfab/Havocs and hope you enjoy yours!

I cant confirm or deny their relationship, I can only go off what I was told from a rep. As per the NFabs, another $140 off also helped seal the deal. It pays to be kind and talk through the deal.

I agree. I was impressed that the Havoc rep shared the Nfab info with me. Glad to hear you got a good deal as well!!

Looks great. Do you have any closer side shots that show off the wheels?

Here's a couple shots of my '16 that up until today I thought was blue. Turns out it's Slate Gray Metallic. Oh well I still love this truck.

As far as I know its factory. I also found out that since it was initially exported to Canada it has a True North Edition code on the build sheet. Still researching what that includes.

Welcome, what’s your setup?

 

Did you have to change your Upper control arms with the 2.5 in up front?

    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

    • I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem? 
    • I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
