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.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
