A member on here, blackwidowsierra is running 37" pro comp A/T tires. He has a black widow (obviously) and he added a 3" body lift to the 6" lift that his truck came with. Check out his truck. He said that the large tires aren't all that impressive.

look in your glovebox the RPO code on about the 3rd or 4th line. Look for GU4 is 3.08 GU6 is 3.42 and GT8 is 3.73 axle. What do u have?

Which is surprising I got 22 MPG on a 800 mile road trip from NC to upstate NY

You got 22MPG with the 37s?! [emoji15] is everything recalibrated? Got a tune? What is your magic my friend. I must know!

Finally a lifted truck with tires with actual sidewall. I think 18's is a perfect rim size and I wouldn't go any bigger until maybe around 44" tires or bigger then 20-22.5" rims are fine. Even on a car I like actual sidewall. Not just because of the price of low pros or the ride difference, just looks if anything.

I forgot to clarify I got the 22 mpg before the lift. It just seemed odd that I dont have the 3.08 and still get pretty good furl eco. My apologies on the confusion I was half a sleep when I posted that. When I moved up here to Fort Drum NY my father in law drove my truck and got 27 MPG but I'm guessing a big part of that he was following me and I was driving the moving truck. Slow up hills and fast down hills.

Truck says GU6

ya at least it's not 3.08. 3.42 is good. [emoji106]. I have 3.73 with 33's. I can do a burn out pretty easy lol

As far as fuel economy goes. I just switched over to 93 octane and I've seen an increase of 2-3 MPG over using 87 octane. With it being sub zero temps in upstate NY I've lost a lot of fuel economy. Before lift kit I was seeing 13 maybe 14. Lift kit, 37s, and 93 octane getting 13-14 MPG even on trips with a good bit of hills. When it warms up outside I will get a better idea of my fuel economy. Hopefully after intake, exhaust, and tune I will be right around the same fuel economy before the lift.

There's no rubbing at all. The shop pinned the liner future into the wheel well. I posted some pictures of a full left and right turn somewhere on this site not sure where.

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Same here, first I bought a few filters to get me going right after I bought my truck to do some short distance initial oil changes, then realized I could buy a case lot for less as they drop the price if filters or trans oil etc is bought by the un opened case lot as well as the discount for buying the vehicle there. So I have filters for a while but its good to know going forward, knowing to expect it to be a different part number and looking filter at the dealer and not be confused over it and think they are handing me the wrong part.
