Installing my Zone 1.5 BL currently and just finished the front. I noticed there is no steering adapter.. Im guessing you only adjust the steering shaft if you install a 3" BL? I recall installing one on my 2005 3" and just want to make sure I am not missing anything. Will post pics after I finish the back half install.

No steering adapter with the 1.5 BL you will be good to go! Let's see when your done!

That looks good man! What size tires are you running with this setup? I currently have the ProComp 2.25" level w/ 2" blocks in the rear running 33x12.5 on the stock Denali wheels. I have been thinking about adding a the Zone 1.5" body lift, and trying to squeeze some 35s under it, but I don't know if it will work.

275/65/20 Toyo AT2's. These measure a tad over 33s and rub slightly.

Ok finished it up last night.. Love the 1.5 BL over the 3 BL in the looks department and that there is no gap between the hitch and bumper like previously. Once I burn these tires up (only 15k miles on them though), I will be going with a 295/60R20 Toyo ATII. Love this tire, but only measuring 32" on the truck.

do you relocate the hitch with this kit? or are you saying the gap is not noticeable?

Hitch stays put, I was mentioning the gap. The bumper on the 2014+ sits much closer to the hitch so raising it the 1.5 makes it barely noticeable.

 

 

 

Thanks Mark.. need more sidewall now!

Yes sir it is! No trimming required for people with tow hooks, I had to cut out the plastic that covered the tow hooks area, my truck didn't come with tow hooks so no holes for them.

Whats the average time it takes to install a body lift. I bought the rough country 1.25 lift 5 months ago and still waiting to install it.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
