That's actually a great idea re: the 2091-21 high country wheels. Those are good looking wheels and I think the chrome will look pretty sick to be honest. And agree on Alenzas, mine are only 22k miles in so no rush to get rid of perfectly good tires!!

I ordered them yesterday, I'll post when they are installed, probably next weekend by the time they ship and I get them put on.

Swapped out the trailrunner at for some ko2. Not gonna lie, once I got the ko2 was in the fence because the wranglers were a very good performing tire with a great look for a street truck. But 50 miles later, can see why all the love.

Looks nice! Stock suspension? Level?

Anyone have any insight on putting on 35 x 12.5 x 20’s or 22’s on my 2020 High Country? Current set up is FOX 2.5 Coil Overs up front with Reservoirs, Icon Upper front Control Arms,  Fox 2.5’s in the rear with reservoirs with Deavers rear leaf springs and 2” blocks and Fender Delete Kit in the front and the back.  It’s basically a leveling kit that raised the front about 3” but the front was so high that I added a 2” block in the rear to achieve and actual lift of about 1” and level the front with the rear.  I don’t mind trimming what needs to be trimmed at all.  I get so many different opinions on whether or not this can be done.  Reading thru these posts seem to say that it’s totally doable.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Awesome! Can't wait to see - meanwhile my truck's driver window was smashed in....nothing taken b/c there was nothing to take, but I'm a bit sidelined right now on mods. I did just get a Corsa catback on about a week ago - sounds excellent

I would love to see pictures.  I have a similar setup for my 2021 AT4- i just haven't installed it yet.  Everything is sitting in my garage waiting for a warm weekend...  So I have the Fox 2.5s and the Icon UCAs for the front like you, but I opted for Fox 2.0s for the rear.  Honestly, the main reason I went with the 2.0s instead of the 2.5s wasn't because of price, but because I don't want to have to unbolt the bed of my truck when ever the shocks have to be serviced.  I wish Fox had rear 2.5s where the reservoir was mounted directly to the shock like the way Icon does.

You don’t have to unbolt the bed at all. You can easily route the Shock without doing that. Plenty of room.

    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?. 
    • He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it. 
    • I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
    • 2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!    
    • www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
