Not only Mn and Wi. Most likely that all states will follow USDOT, which says, uh-uh.

Yeah. I’m in Ohio, same rules, but not highly enforced. Also, being on a separate switch, very easy to turn them off any time. They get drowned out a little bit by the headlights.

They are firmer than the rest, fox or king will ride smoother. Its firm but handles real well. I don't have the reservoirs either, mines just the stage 1.  The less preload the smoother tho, thats why mines at 3 inch and not 3.5.

 

Installation is pretty easy, not much too it. Make sure u do some sort of control arms tho.

Thanks for the info. I was looking at Icon's stage 2 which includes the UCA's and plan on setting them at 2 or 2.5. The Fox kit from Cognito also came with the UCA's, but those Fox 2.0's Coilovers appear to get replaced with Icon's by a number of folks as they complain about rust and too firm of a feel. Which is why I've gone back and forth. I looked at Fabtech's Dirtlogic kit, but haven't read or seen much info on them. 

 

Any special tools required for the install? Torque wrench?

They do say the kings do ride nice, i have em on my 03 but they were tuned few times to be right.

  As for the icons they ride firmer turned up more than 2.5. I do have mine turned up to 3.5 now and am doing a 2 inch block instead of the 1.5 next week.

 

 To install em no fancy tools are needed.

It does look good, but if you were to have a need to visit Michigan, keep them on the down low. If they see them up here, they will enforce vigorously. Red is for emergency vehicles only. If they did come across them, an off switch won't be accepted. They have to be inop. Same with blue, which is for leo only up here. Can't remember if it's Indiana or Ohio that allows blue for their fire responders, which they won't like even with the out of state plates. Planning on amber auxillary myself, for towing. Also want rock lights, which would need to be hidden. Mostly for getting guns and gear in and out of the truck when it's dark. Don't want tired hunting partners stumbling around and tripping.

Thanks for the insight, will do. I did pass an Ohio Trooper today and a local cop, no issues from either. But I can appreciate that each state (and each cop) may look at it differently. I’m debating whether to switch them out (I’ve got terminal connectors on each light, so it would not be a problem). Time will tell. But I do appreciate the heads up.

They probably won’t mess with you unless it’s later in the night. Perfect PC for a stop to check if you’ve been out drinking.

[emoji817]. I definitely will not have them on late at night. The drinking part is not an issue bcz I typically am utilizing my CCW, but I still don’t want to invite a problem or concern.

I got a few little things today. I got my front doors tinted to match the back doors, added a little patriotism to the rear window, and de-badged the tail gate.

 

Those that de-badge, did you all de-badge the whole truck? I'm in debate whether to remove the Trail Boss stickers and Z71 badges. I actually kind of like the Z71 badges, so I was thinking of just plasti-dipping them instead.

 

I'll eventually get the exhaust tips painted black either on my own or after-market.spacer.pngspacer.png

    • Yea a fluid change is in order here. Honestly, your transmission didn’t even get hot. During the summer in stop and go traffic I’ve seen my 8l80 get up to 216 and it was still shifting smoothly. 
    • I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.  
    • Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.
    • Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.
