It’s leveled. They actually went too high with the keys. My cv joints are concerning me. But they are 295/60-20

I put a 2.25" keys up front and turned them up and then a 2" block in the back, it keeps it with some rake still.  When I first picked it up the Upper control arms were hitting the stops so I had them turn it down a hair.  But now empty I don't have any CV noise but when I load up the sleds on the deck and use 4x4 at full lock left or right I can hear a clicking from the CVs so I would imagine the weight out back pulls the front up just that much more and thats why it only does it when I am loaded.

They don’t bind anymore than they did in 4x4. Haven’t heard a click.

how much height difference did you notice going from the level to the lift?  Also do you find the ride better or worse?  why did you switch?  Looks great btw.

Hey Bhurt, i changed because i didn't really like the ride with it leveled...  i also wanted after market rims and wanted to keep a tire around a 35,   my 325/65 r18's fit stock but they did hit the sway bar under full lock it was totally acceptable buuutttt  not if i wanted to change rims out,  i went with the BDS 4.5 as i wanted the best ride quality possible on a lifted truck... i also chose the 4.5 as i just wanted enough lift to clear 35's.... atleast to me 6+ inchs of lift look better on 37's.... (some pull it off great with 35's... but more not than do to me...)  i'm also getting in my higher 30's so i am not really interested (nor do i really like the deep dish rims... ) so after researching for endless hours i settled on the BDS 4.5 with an 18x9 +1 offset rim, it's not in your face crazy and still practical so i can pull my 10,000 pound trailer / boat carrier etc  it's 4.5 up front and 3 in the rear,  i have not hooked up to the trailer yet but if it sags more than an inch i will look into alternatives to get slightly more lift on the back....   i am trying to avoid air bags for now...

 

honestly i'm a picky OCD kind of person, it still does not ride like stock...  it's around how it was leveled really.... but i do like it 1000% more than when it was stock :)

What sled deck is that? Looks like it doesnt have a much larger profile then a normal tonneau cover, I like it.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
