I’m picking up my truck either tomorrow or next week. When I was shopping, I found a ram 2500 with the Fabtech 5” and the Dirt Logic 4.0 shocks. I really liked the setup. Are there any big reservoir shock lift kits available 5” or more? I see Fabtech lists a 5” coming soon, but haven’t found much in search.

Definitely interested in this as well. Just picked up a 2500 AT4 and plan on doing a 7” plus lift.

I ended up doing the BDS 6.5”, but it ended up higher. Measurements at front fender shows it went up 7.75”. Here’s a couple of pics on factory tires.

The BDS kit is great. What size tires and rims you planning to run? 37s would look great! Looks funny with the stock tires on there now!

Probably unpopular here, but JTX Forged is building me a set of 26x12 and we are going to put 37x13.50r26’s on them. My truck is a tow pig and doesn’t really go off-road. Dirt road here and there, but that’s it.

Holy ******. Those are going to be huge rims. I had a 6” kit on my old truck. If I did it to this one (2020 AT4 HD) then I’d probably go 37s on 20s. I do take my truck off road though: sand, snow, dirt, etc... the rims are already damaged and I’ve had the truck less than a year.

 

Post a pic when it’s done!

I've kinda been leaning towards the all black JTX Forged Chamber wheel for my AT4...Just not that big lol. I might would consider 24's, but most likely i'll be doing a 22x12 on 37's

That turned out great! I like the big wheel look but not sure I could go 26's. I ended up just ordering a 3" level and 37's for now, but i'm not sure it will satisfy me. haha  I'll probably end up redoing it all in a year and do a huge lift and 24's

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
