Was trying to quote this....what sled deck is that?

bought it used, i *think* it's a Denali deck on there 7 ft, aluminum extendable sides. 

 

Bhurt, i forgot to answer your height question....  my driveway was still uneven / snowy but it's about 45.5 inchs front, 46.5 back,  that's with the deck on the truck for a few hundred pounds... it might bounce up a little more on the tail end.

Aron, thank you for the info. Will go look them up as that would be a great deck.

well...  i took out the level kit, and put in a full BDS 4.5 lift kit with some Fuel rims on the same 325/65/r18 tires,   weather has been terrible for months and still snow here mid april (hence the snowmobile from the weekend.... lol)   

 

later this summer i'll post a picture when it's not a ball of dirt :)

+1...is that about like a +25 offset?  I know my wheels are +18 and stock is +44.  I'm assuming those are metric numbers and the +1 is in inches?

 

Tempted to do something like that, but I have to use my truck for plowing.

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

What tires and what offset on the wheels?

hey Skeld,  the +1 is a +1 :)     works out to a 5.04 backspacing with calculator, but yeah direct comparison to stock of +44, these are +1 with 5.04 backspace which is not even in the range recommended by BDS... but have found multiple others running that size on youtube etc... so gave it a shot (and my dealer confirmed with BDS it is a size that will work)   they only hang out an inch or so... which isn't to shabby for a 12.8 inch wide tire, truck sits in the yard till it's sledding time or Camping time so i wanted it to look good but definitely keep it practical,  No idea how it would work if i put a plow mount on it to be honest... i have thought about it, i got a good size driveway / yard i'm still contemplating getting a lawn tractor with thrower or a plow lol.

Anyone here have to trim off some bumper? What’s the best way to gain clearance from the bumper? I mean without going aftermarket

Ok, got it.  So they stick out about 2" more than the stock wheel if I understand correctly (which maybe I don't).  

 

Seems like it could work, I have my truck leveled which is probably about 2" high in the front and that's fine for plowing.  As long as the lift components held up to the abuse and winter issues (salt).

How noisy are the Nitto Trails?  I had some Cooper STT and had to ditch them, just too loud for me.

I've seen where guys space the bumper out like 3/4" off the frame mount for a little extra clearance.

hey Waazooo,  there's no kit for it but plenty of people have done it to make room, alot of guys are stacking washers, believe from what i saw on it you need slightly longer bolts as well.....

 

this is the info i came across when i was researching it...

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
