There are a number of people installing    1 1/2" or 2" under strut lift without any short term problems. Time will tell if it ends up putting premature wear on the ball joints and steering parts but it certainly works to level the truck. If you go to the forum about fitting 35s on a AT4/Trailboss there are pics and comments.

I guess this could be a good temporary option if you want to get 35s under the AT4/TB until someone comes out with an option that can address any of the bad angles. I just might try it for now. It’s the Motofab 1.5” on amazon they’re using right?

Can't tell if your trying to be a comedian here or if your serious?  It wasn't really very funny and it didn't really make any sense!  If you don't care about this topic, don't follow along.

To me 2" is 2" no matter how you get it. Wether you put it on the top, bottom or middle it still increases the cv and ball joint angles. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

Think the 1” would be a little safer?

Just got the level installed! Motofab 1 1/2 under strut spacer. Went on in about an hour and looks perfect! $21 on eBay can't go wrong.

Don't have any more pics with the level installed as I literally just finished the install an hour ago. Here is the link to the kit though.

Looks good Ben.

Thanks for sharing. I am sure many will follow in your footsteps :thumbs:

Some Ridge Grapplers would look great with your setup.

It does need some larger tires,  but one thing at a time!?

Yes you can but it depends on the width of the tire and the offset of the rim.  For example a 35x12.5s on a rim with a positive 20ish offset wont rub but a rim with a 0 mm offset will rub slightly.  What size tire and rims do u have in mind exactly?

I’ll be doing the TOYO M/T 35x12.5x18 on positive 18 offset wheel. Currently have 33’s on it and want to go bigger. 33 looks to small I think. Thanks

You should be fine since your rim has a positive 18 offset.  Worst case scenario, it will rub the slightest amount but I dont think it will.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
