Anyone with a Trail Boss or AT4 want to sell the factory 2” rear lift blocks and Rancho mono tubes? Figure there are some guys on here that lifted and have these laying around. Preferably something with low mileage. Pm please. Thanks

I have Zone tapered 2” lift blocks with the U-Bolts I’m trying to get rid of from the lift in my 2019

Does your truck have the AUTO 4wd setting, and if so, can you still use it with the lift?  I've read elsewhere that you shouldn't with a lift.  I live where we get snow and the AUTO setting is very useful in my 2020 RST.

I’ve used 4WD Auto a few times with no issues whatsoever with a 6” BDS lift.

I've used Auto 4WD on my 2013 Silverado with a BDS lift and had no issues as well. As for this 2019 Silverado, I plan to use it as well. BDS pretty adamant about you being able to throw whatever you want at this suspension and it will take it. I'm sure Auto 4WD will be fine.

So I have a LT Trail Boss as well, with the same level kit (1.5" Rough Country), and was thinking about getting the same tire in the same exact size.... Great minds must think alike.

 

I do have 1.25" BORA spacers, as I was concerned about how close wider tires would be to the upper control arms.  How close are your inner side wall to the upper control arms?

 

Also, at full lock how close are they to rubbing?  I know you said you have no rub right now, which is good, so its got me wondering if I could fit a 35x12.50 (really 34.5"x12.50). So about a 1/4" taller and 1/2" wider than the 295/70s.  If you can could you take a pic at full lock... You think the extra height/width would fit.... Maybe with the spacers I have on???  Thanks for the pics.

Did you have to cut studs for the bora spacers? I had them on my Dmax and had to cut the tips off.

No, 1.25" will fit behind the space on the TB wheels.  So, you can either go up to 3/8" for hub centric, or 1.25"+ on the TB wheels.  Anything in between will need the studs cut to fit.

I will get some pics later, it’s Super Bowl day in KC! My tires are probably less than an inch from the UCA’s. Spacers would help.

Yup it is. BDS even says on their website the 4” for the TB/AT4 is similar to the 6” kits for the standard models.

      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.

      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.
