Installed some custom fit mudflaps on my AT4 today. First product I’ve ever bought In a long time that actually fit the first time. 
 

Also did my side exit exhaust too to go with the Magnaflow muffler. Excuse the dirty truck-it’s winter in the mountains. And the crooked photos. If someone wants to fix that go ahead!!06B24426-EF39-40D9-9715-2C1D551A3214.jpeg.756b344e79eea15df00ee3e4f72eaeb9.jpeg

Just picked up the Denali 2500 from Pittsburgh custom wraps. Had GSWF clear paint protection film applied to front bumper. Color matched Vinyl wrapped door handles, chrome trim on mirrors, front and rear logos, upper and lower front grille trims and fender badges. Chrome delete around driver and passenger side windows with matching black vinyl wrap. Working on removing side and rear chrome lettering. 3" superlift with
22" wheels should be done within next month hopefully. Looking at some performance/tuning mods in the future. Waiting to see what Banks will have to offer. 272cc076f9cddb9c8bc590dd321d0c46.jpg0ed8eab13ae5b587416966ed354e8f57.jpgfbe3c60d16e3312600b4522ab90348cb.jpg15a53f7666a9d29e50cd2864cda71fb7.jpg33e7f14ecbdbd769f11bf338f2750a81.jpgffb3ba00369f2bee60ecc1ed2de15fb2.jpgff201b5db3b0f70e541774b1547da885.jpg

Finished up the CST 4” lift over the weekend. A bit of a chore to get it done but love it and drives great. Took about 14 hours on and off with helpers. The cSt kit didn’t raise the rear enough with the 2” blocks so I will be raising it more with 3” blocks tomorrow. As it sits, the front is about 1” higher than the back. I have a heavy slide-out in the bed with tools so it drops it about 3/4”. The blocks will bring it back up.

Today I had new fuel sledge rims (20”x 9” 20mm offset) wrapped in 37”x12.5” BFG K02. Very minor rubbing on the front of the wheel well liners which I took care of with zip ties. The space between the mud flap and tire at full lock was a little tight so I heated them up and molded back a bit.

I’ll take more picks once I bring the rear up. I included one pic of the lift before the wheels yesterday in my shop.

looks awesome. How much cutting/drilling was there with the CST?

They don't have any instructions posted on their website.

 

Cognito has more cutting than I am willing to do.

Thank you. I had to cut the back passenger cross member about 1” off the front side. The back drivers cross member needed a little more taken out to clear the diff. I compared the cognito and CST and the CST was a lot less with regard to cutting. Only two holes on each side of the LCA had to be drilled. I can send you the CST instructions if you like.

Readylift 3/2 sst kit with fox shocks
fuel blitz 20x9 +20 offset
37x12.50 20 nitto ridge grappler

Initially it rubbed the front felt liner and mud flap in the rear. It does rub the frame rail at full lock. I removed the lower valence just because. I trimmed the mud flap and was able to bend the brackets in the front behind the felt liner enough to eliminate any rubbing.

I just put the 3” blocks in the back. Perfect ride height now.

Considering at the same kit. How does the truck ride compared to stock?

    • 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.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • 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. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
