Any other mods besides the keys turned up? Diff drop or anything?

After talking to the dealer and lots of research, I ended up using stock keys and cranked them. Ended up at 7 turns, don’t have many threads left. Dealer told me I’ll get 2” max out of them and to not exceed 26” center of hub to middle of fender, currently at 25.5. Raised the front 1.5”. I was shooting for 2”, which I’m sure I could get. Going to drive it tmrw then maybe readjust to try and get 2”.

 

3/4” left between control arm and droop stop

 

CV angle is obviously increased but doesn’t look awful.

 

Rear is 1.5” higher than front

2.25" or 2.5" ready lift keys up front and and 2" blocks out back, kept some rake so that I can run my sled deck and look level.  Could go higher up front but the UCAs were touching the metal droop stops and I didn't like it so we turned it down some.  Definitely going to do a diff spacer kit, UCAs, and bigger tires when the time is right and then crank it up some more.  Right now with the deck on and 2 sleds I get a click in the CVs at full lock.  Take the load off and the click is gone.

Cognito uppers and keys, keys have just enough tension to keep tight.  Measures out level, and sometimes you can even see a little bit of a rake on it yet.  Rear is completely stock.  I've changed the front valance so it looks taller from the front.

I would love to turn up my front keys a little or even lowering shackles for the rear to help level the truck, but the rear is pretty much even with the front when towing and don’t want to make an angle where the front is higher than the rear because it tows great right now.

How did you change the front valance?

Boss snow plows offer a replacement valance that allows for plow brackets.  I don't have a plow, but getting that low hanging plastic out of the way, makes for better ground clearance and gives it a taller look.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

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

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
