Is anyone running this kit? I’m about to pull the trigger and it seems you can’t find much information on ride quality or pictures of it installed. Please post pictures if you have any of this kit installed.

Finally got it done. Way happier. Front struts on the second from the bottom; 2" rear block with shock extensions.    17x8.5 wheels 285/75 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

I just had mine installed Monday and am thoroughly happy with the results. I went with the second groove for the strut and installed a 2” block in the rear. Rides great!! Will get a better picture lat

Got the kit installed today. I opted for the 1.9” lift setting (2nd clip from the bottom). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I just bought this kit, should show up on Friday.  Ill follow up with pictures after I install it.  Other people that have installed it should chime in but from what I've heard the ride should be better with a "more planted" feel.  I've heard it will lift the front of a non trail boss anywhere from 1.9" (or less) to 2.75-3"ish depending on what setting you put the front struts on.

Which setting are you planning on using? I’m thinking I want mine to be around 2.5-2.75”

Did you get true kit installed?  How is the ride, what is the ride height?

 

thanks.

Very nice. Looks like the front is slightly higher even with a 2” block. Would you say it have you 2.5”

 

where did you buy the kit?

It looks high in the front just because of the angle - it actually has a slight amount of rake still for when I am pulling my trailer.... I got it from Eibach

What 2" block did you use? Can you measure the front now you have the Eibach's installed?

How much did the 2” block lift the rear. Do our trucks come with blocks from the factory? If so, does anyone know what size the stock blocks are?

Looks great! Second groove from the bottom(1.9 average lift)?? Also what size tires did you go with?

Thanks!! The springs give you 2" alone - the second groove is like .7" more. I am running with Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/60/20

He’s on the second groove from the top, not the second groove from the bottom. 
 

I also have mine set on that groove. It’s the sweet spot for this truck if you’re running a 2 inch block out back.

If I’m not adding a rear block, do you think second ring from the bottom will be the best option to be pretty level? I’m thinking about running 33x12.5x20 or 295/55/20....thanks for your help

How’s ride quality on that setting? The picture I posted above of the instructions was for installation of the lift springs onto their adjustable struts. Looks like the spring is good for 1.2” additional lift alone. Taking the difference of the two lift height settings, I would estimate the 2nd ring from the top to be around 2.6” lift. The instructions say ride quality will suffer at that high of a setting. How are your angles on the CV axles/UCAs?

      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
