I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Not really, just buy a POS rough country lift with American Force wheels!

It is the cheapest possible lift available. Aka it is trash compared to better lift kits. I would put one on an older vehicle but no way in hell would I let such a kit come within 10 feet of my new truck. You get what you pay for.

 

 

 

IMO if I was you I would return it and buy a real one. But you will probably be stuck with a 20-30% restock fee.

Installed some new shoes! Fuel Maverick 20 x 9 +1 offset with Nitro Ridge Grappler 33 x 12.50. 2" level up front. The only thing I had to do was zip tie the carpet back an inch or so. No rub or trim. Really like the stance and look. The tires ride slightly rougher on smooth pavement than the stock Goodyears, but noticeably smoother on rough pavement. I guess the larger diameter and sidewall help with rough pavement and the 10 ply contributes to the slightly rougher ride on smooth pavement. Very slight hum, but not bad at all. A little more floaty feeling in corners at 40 mph or more, but again not bad. So far I'm extremely happy with the purchase. Thanks to Custom Offsets for a great purchase experience and a member on here (Robinson) for giving me their first hand knowledge with this combo.

I dunno personally but judging by what other members on here running that lift are saying, looks like you're gonna have some issues with driveline angles.

Gotta agree with everyone else. Don't put garbage on your new truck.

Rough Country is just a cheap, no thrills lift kit. Let me see if I can find this old thread from another forum that compares Rough Country, McGaughys and several other lifts. It's a great write that shows the differences between the brands and quality.

I watched a video on Youtube where a guy compared different types of lifts, as in cheap vs mid vs expensive. He said he's put a lot of Rough Country lifts on and usually it's just the bare essentials to lift the truck while sometimes it may not fix the angles like it should. Where as a good lift has more R&D in it and fixes angles and whatever else. So I'd rather pay more for R&D and an overall better lift.

Dude that truck of yours looks awesome!!! Gotta agree with alpine tho, you should get some amp steps and sell those factory running boards. That's a gorgeous color and dig the new ridge grapplers

I really like this color in this lighting. Brownstone? But on man those stock running boards just throw the look right off just looks like a hunk of metal hanging there.

Amp Power boards are next in line along with a Borla exhaust. The woman would throw a fit if I took them off before that. What do y'all think about the front valence? Kind of like the chunky look it gives the front.

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
