I don't understand why so many of you paid for trail bosses and AT4 trucks only to remove and stick 6 inch lift on em or even add to stock lift...…..why not just buy a standard 4x4 in any trim and than do a lift?......would save a lot of money I would think

 

those models were easily 10k plus more than my RST...…so what am I missing?

The prestige and a sticker? Personally my RST is nicer than most trail boss trucks I see. Those black bumpers are atrocious.

I can run a 4in lift, UCA,s with KING 2.5 coilovers and rears for way less than TB LT, which is what I would basically have...….and with much better suspension....I had fabtech lift b4 and suspension was shit, was along time ago though 

 

idk, just thought I was missing something

 

would rather get LTZ 6.2l and do the KING setup....

I just had a 3” Fabtech lift installed on my ‘19 High Country. Stock 20’s with Michelin Defender 295/65-R20’s (35”). These are a little narrower tire and gives the truck a unique tall, somewhat skinny look. I started with that look in 1977 with an F-150 and 9:00x16 Non-Directional Military tires. I’ve run Michelin’s for many years, last set on an F-150 went 89,000 miles and still had a little left. Love this truck.

I couldn’t agree more with you I’m a fan of the stock look. Reason being they just look out of form/shape when you lift them. Granted the right lift tire setup would def make a diff. Now it just seems like a contest higher then the next guy and the whole trend with tires hanging 67 feet out of the wheel wells is just nonsense.

I want to get the RC Vertex coil overs but I am on a 6in BDS lift. Would anyone know why they would not fit or align correctly?

The RC 6in kit with the Vertex coil overs does not show new UCAs just knuckls.

Did they release them for these trucks yet? I’ve only found them for the legacy body style. Try chatting with them during business hours, they’re usually easy to reach for tech support. I also have the BDS 6” and I’ve been waiting for a compatible coilover that I don’t have to custom order.

They released them with the 6in RC kit for 19s. It has them as an option to add.

RC coilovers on a BDS kit?.....blasphemy!  [emoji23]
 
Contact BDS/Sport Truck USA and get the matching Fox coilovers and Fox 2.0 rears to go with your kit.

Exactly!

      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

      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.
