Here is mine. I did consider that crimson colour but I'm happy I stuck to my original choice iridium.

Leveled with 1.5" motofab level. Added Bilstein 4600s at the same time. I think they added another 0.5" to it. The next week I added 33" Nitto Terra Grappler G2s (P265/60/R20XL). They ride nice and are very quiet. Overall it looks pretty good. Would love to remove the step, but with little kids, its a necessity.

 

I really wanted to keep a little bit of nose down rake since I haul heavy loads and tow. This looks perfectly level to me even though the tape measure says that the front is half inch lower than rear.

 

Debating on options (in order of complexity):

1. Leave as is

2. Raise rear 1/2-1". Parts about $60 so not too bad.

3. Lower front by replacing 1.5" level spacer with a 1" spacer. parts cheap. Labor is more intensive. May require re-alignment.

 

All the posts that I read say that the z71 has a 2" rear block, but it sure looks like only an inch to me.

 

I have made two long distance road trips since this and still can get 20+ mpg doing 70 mph (which i guess is really 71-72 now since tires are 3% bigger). I think I lost about a half mpg highway and maybe .5-1 mpg in town.

    • 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.  
    • Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.

    • Wouldn't swapping out the original AFM/DFM parts for a complete Delete Kit be the best route to go if one could afford to go that route?
