They installed new keys..... I put 35" Nitto Trail grapplers and they only scrub when turned fully left or right but isnt terrible! I put 40k miles on my last truck this those tires and still had 40% tread left. Great tires in my eyes. The downfall of the keys is to fit 35's, they have to be cranked up pretty far and the ride quality suffers significantly. Im not sure if i am going to keep them or upgrade to the 4" stage 4 level.

Well, thanks to VW and their emissions scandal, it might be wise to not modify anything regarding the downstream from the motor too quickly. While warranty may be in jeopardy from doing so, serious fines might also become reality in the near future if caught. Unfortunately, the EPA monster has been awaken and they are going to make everyone pay for VW's insolence in dissing the regulations. Even now, the new Colorado diesel will get on road actual emissions testing compared to the normal OEM supplied numbers. You can bet that the EPA will also put the pressure on dealers to check that all emissions stuff is in place and working. Welcome to modern America, ladies and gents.

 

 

The beast has awakened.

Looks like their going after the trucking industry first though.

One thing about the trucking industry, there are loopholes to all the EPA stuff. They pass so many regulations that they can't keep track of them all. That is how I was able to buy a 2013 Freightliner semi truck, without a motor from the factory, and then drop in a factory rebuilt pre-EGR and pre-SCR/DPF motor into it, license and title it, and it has been working since August of 2012. All nice and legal, right under the EPA's nose.

ok... I installed the FAB TEC 4" level.... The ride height is pretty muc hthe same as before but the quality went up for sure!!! a lot of cash for a small result. 5" suspension would have been better i think
