Yes I have the over the leaf helper bag with billet 1" spacer on a 3/5 lowered truck. What lower amount and kit?

I had this kit on my truck with a 7" rear drop. Then sold it to 1slow1500

So if you see he was at 7" and I am only 5" so the 1" spacer allows me to run little more air and be more in the middle of the bag travel. Also protects the bag from stretching.

Ride quality is much better and I have mine set to just lift the rear end about 1/2". I like the slight rake look but also helps on bumps. And with my power level I have the over leaf removed and assasin traction bars so the truck wants to squat faster and hook harder. The bag is huge help.

Agreed. It made my 7" drop ride super nice and i could actually use the bed to haul stuff

I am on a 3/5 drop on the Belltech 986SP kit.

 

Where do you get the billet spacer from ?

 

My truck is level currently and I am very happy with the ride quality.

 

I am just concerned about towing with the current drop .

 

That is why I am interested in the kit .

 

Any feedback ?

They just bolt right in easy install. I think the ride quality is better on the rcsb vs the crew cab. And you have all 3 of your leafs sonit is stiffer in the rear. Mine is shofter.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      There are no stickers in your glovebox?

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
