Bilstein 5100s on front and back (front adjusted for max height at ~2"), Readylift 3.5" block replaced factory block for added 1" in rear, Nitto TerraGrappler 275/70R18s on Mayhem Warrior 18x9 +18 offset wheels. No rubbing.

Looks great. How do you like the G2's?

I am on the fence with the same size or 285/60 on stock Z71 wheels.

Went with XD Series Crank wheels, 18x9 0-offset........BFG KO2 275-70

Debating on 2" leveling kit or bilstein shocks to get closer to level......what does everyone prefer?

What's your goal? Most folks level, then put those 33's on. You got them to fit on stock suspension with 0 offset rims, so you have no CV angle issues or stress right now.

 

For me, your truck looks "overstuffed" with too big tires (but I like your rim choice). It needs some height either by a level, a suspension lift, or a body lift.

I agree, i want to raise the front end just not real familiar with doing that (first truck to install leveling kit/shocks) i guess i was just wondering if using leveling kit vs. shocks, if one causes less issues with the overall suspension than the other

I did the Rough Country 2" spacer. Worked great! My buddy did also, then switched to Bilsteins. World of difference. If I were to do it over...I'd go the Bilstein route. Much improved ride. JM2C

I like the $50 2" level kit. But that's just me

I like the Rancho quicklift RS9000 adjustables. Simple, pull out the factory strut and bolt in the new unit. Takes an hour or less to do both sides and you don't have to disassemble the factory strut like the billsteins.

I get it. The rough country was just loosening the strut and sliding in the spacer. Some of the top spacers made you cut the strut bolts. More work than the average diy driveway dude may want to do. Just my opinion.

I did the spacer first go around, Hated the ride and ultimately went with the RS9000 quicklifts in the front and rs9000 rear shocks and Cognito upper control arms. Ride is drastically improved over the stock set-up and the adjustability on the shocks is nice as well, you can find a nice balance between ride and handling without dropping 3500 dollars for FOX, ICON, King or Radflo adjustable coil overs. Granted they wont perform off road like them but I doubt many people are doing the type off roading to warrant the cost for them either.

That's awesome! I really haven't found a lot of difference in the ride with the lower spacer. I've only been highway driving though

All that said. I have a problem with the spacer I'll just go full retard and do the 6-7" lift. I hope the spacer will keep me happy

Do you have any more room in there for more tire? I ordered 275/65-20. Hope it doesn't rub much

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
