Is that lift similar to the rc 3.5in lift?? Any issues thus far?

Yeah it's pretty much just like the RC kit, at least in what's included. I was going with that kit but talking with RC they specifically said their kit will not work with stamped steel control arms. Not sure why but they were working on a new kit for those. SL said their kit would work and as been fine so far.

I'll leave this here. It has a 6" BDS lift on 35's with a 1.5" spacer all around.

Nice!!

Yeah I know. If I were going to seriously off-road my truck I might be a little worried but I will rarely go off pavement. Usually the boat ramp is the most extreme I will go. LOL

The bad things about the 3.5 kits is when they dont have the control arms or the diff drop brackets. That makes your CV axels wayyy out of alignment and eventually cause damage.

 

The kit that he is running has all the stuff you need plus is wayyyyy better then the RC because they state that they retain the factory warranty and assist with it if anything goes wrong. Just like Fabtech, Zone, and BDS that i know of.

I see RC does have a 3.5 kit with a diff drop n control arms. So the only difference is the warranty correct?

Yes they did revamp the kits after the shitstorm they got. Those kits with the drop brackets and control arms are what you want.

 

As far as the warranty goes that just plain ol piece of mind for me. Debating the 4.5" Zone or the 3.5" Superlift

Thanks for the info, i wanna go 3.5 mainly because of the price. Theres a garage near me thats a RC dealer, but i may go superlift now with the warranty n have Goodyear install it and throw duratracs on it at thr same time.

Zone 4.5 lift with Bilstein 5100's set at 1st setting (.75" lift) and airbags out back. OEM 22's from GM that I had powder coated with 33" Nitto Dura Grapplers. I can definitely fit 35's with no issues.

Is anyone running factory 18s with a RCX 5 or 6 in knuckle lift? I want to run 295/70 or 305/65 tires, and want to keep it mostly stock looking except for the height. RC says it should work as long as I a 1/4" spacer, just want to see someone else who has done it...

4.5 Rancho raised front fender 36.5 to 43 and rear to 44 inches. Had to put a spacer on to clear uca. Nitto trail 285/75r17.

Cool man looks good! Quite possibly the first person with a rancho lift on this site.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
