Here you go, 1.5" level, 3 inch rear blocks, 2 inch spacers, flares, tint, bedliner, wheel wells, vent visors, toolbox. Need black tailgate letters and I'm done. Decided against white bumper for now, may debage and paint it all white later???

Very nice, are the 2 inch spacers on the wheel/rims required?  Can you share the brand or part numbers for the 3" rear block and 1.5" front level kit?  Need this!

Link for spacers?

 

Motofab 1.5 trail boss level.

 

Standard 3" inch rear block and longer u bolts??? I provided 1.25" oem blocks from my '15 but installer said he had trouble stacking them. So he ordered me 3" cast steel blocks from somewhere? They look stock only larger.

Just picked this up on Monday. 2019 AT4 with factory installed cold air intake and cat-back exhaust (this combo adds to the 420/460 and makes them 435/469). It's the most beautiful sound I've heard on a truck in recent years! It's the reason I bought this particular truck and not others that were closer to me.

 

Finally pulled the trigger, even though I always said it was too much to pay for a truck.

Is your block heater integrated into the bumper or by the tow hooks? I am trying to understand how the 3.0 Durmax will be...

Absolutely love your setup man. Was thinking about adding the TB lift to an LTZ. Ended up just getting a Trailboss instead, but your making me jealous! What size tire are you running?

 

Also, you are the first that I’ve seen on here with the Readylift kit. It says 1.75”. Did you happen to measure? I added a 1.5” motofab to mine (should be exact same setup, suspension wise), and I am not completely level. Another 1/4” sounds dumb. But do you have any side profile pics? Do you feel like it’s perfectly level?

Does it look level? Looks nose high by a descent amount. From the sounds of it he stacked 2 kits together (2 factory and 1.75 readylift) which is generally a big no no, that front end isn't going to love him long time if that is the case... Much preferred how he had it originally with just the TB kit.

Thank you! I haven't measured but it looks to me like the front is just a hair taller but hopefully it will settle over time. If it doesn't, i might take out the bottom strut spacer and see. I am running a 275/65/20 Nitto Trailgrappler. Can you send me a picture of your truck? Do you have on looking straight on to the front?

Pictures are a little deceiving man. To my eye, I feel like it’s still a hair low in the front. I still measure 1/2” low.

Yeah man that looks good! You are right... it does look level. I will measure mine when i get a chance and let you know what it measures. You measuring from the ground to top of wheel well?

The 2 inch GM kit is a taller strut... no spacers. That is where they get the 2 inches. This isn't stacking spacers on spacers. This kit from Readylift was specifically designed for the Trailboss and AT4

    • Looks tight. Not a lot of working room. Hows yous knuckles?
    • Spot on. The government makes ridiculous mandates, and this causes manufacturers to jump through hoops for every TENTH of a MPG. Main reason quality is in the toilet and prices are in the stratosphere.   The gov't tightened the MPG requirements so much 5 years ago that the only way manufacturers could meet these absolutely ridiculous numbers was to go all EV. Hence the push.     Nobody hates good MPG, Atlas - nobody is "whining". Your side has that trait all locked up. What a stupid argument attempt!   What I particularly hate is the government meddling in the free market system. Had this system been allowed to work as designed and intended by our Founders, cars and trucks would be hitting numbers that would blow our minds, all while costing 30% LESS. Not only that, but engines could probably hit 150k miles again without needing major internal surgery.   My forty year old Ford 302 has 312k on it. Wonder what changed?🤔
    • The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.    
    • My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.
    • That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
