Tinted the fronts to match the rears but it's some ceramic heat deflecting stuff I guess.?.

I have that truck also and would love to do that tint however I would be a criminal here in ny. How's that rough country? Did you just bring up the front? Any plans for larger tires when you wear the stock ones away.

That tint is illegal here in MA too but oh well.

The RCX kit is decent for the money. Still has good ride quality. Wish I went with a bigger lift though.

As for tires, I'm not sure. If I rip this kit out and go bigger then I'll do at least 35's. If I leave this kit I'll probably do 34's. I've always run Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's or Baja Claws so I'd like to stick with MTZ's again.

It brings the front up 3.5 and has a 1.5" rear block.

So it's blurry. I've spent way too much time trying to figure out how to resize pics. How do I do it???

Had to darken the pic so you can actually see the fender height

So would you say it is level or has a little rake still? I want mine to be mostly level.If you take that kit off before I by one let me know I would probably be interested in buying it. The tint really looks good on our trucks however they are setting up roadblocks now for that reason tint. Go figure

Yup it sits level now. My driveway tapers down slowly towards where the front of the truck is so it's deceiving.

Did you use the rear blocks? Some people say they haven't and are level. Some also say they only went up 2.5in but my truck is around 3in lower front to back. They say the ride got very stiff above 2.5in. What was your experience?

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
