My 2015 2500HD LT Z71 6.0L one of the few days it is actually clean. Hard to keep any vehicle clean living on rural gravel roads like I do. Hard to believe, but white shows less dirt than the other darker colors. Just a good 'ol farm truck.

Do those air tabs make much of a difference?

Wade, did u ever get an "actual " measument on the height of your tires? Im looking for something as close to 35 as possible but some sites say they are 34.4 and other say 35.1 and 35.4

Did you have to lift the truck to get the 35s in?

I don't belive he has a lift, just cranked the torsion bars enough to clear them

They do on my semi truck, but no real proof they do on the pickup. I do get less dust build up on the back end on gravel roads, so they must be streamlining things a little. No proof they did anything for MPG. I had a bunch left over from doing my current semi truck so decided to stick them on the pickup to see if they made a difference. I was especially interested on the air flow over the cab as it relates to the cargo box, so I first used them across the back / top of the cab then put a few on the end of the box on the sides. I seem to get a little better mpg from my pickup compared to what others report, but I don't know if it is just driving style or the air tabs have some effect.

Why all the leveling kits? Is there a purpose for other than looks?

Mostly looks, but it does help with your approach angles

Ok understand. Thank ya. I'll be buying eventually so just researching. Doesn't seem like many working these trucks with all the lifts and such in pics.

Also the ability to put larger wheels and tires on is a big plus, but again, mostly for looks. Leveling is a lot cheaper than doing a full lift and still makes the truck usable as it does not sit as high

Yea agree. I wasn't sure if there was actually issues and why everyone was leveling or was specifically for looks. I'll use mine for work purposes around the farm so was hoping for more work related and so forth. Everyone has nice rides though. Lifting and so forth just isn't for me and my line of use

    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
