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!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
