4” Ready lift. BFG KO2’s (35x12.5R18) on Mickey Thompson rims. I trimmed the plastic on the rear of the wheel wells and a little off the front. I didn’t take any before measurements of the lift difference so I have nothing to compare it to. I’ll take some pictures and post.

What's your budget for everything? If you're not ready to drop at least $6000+ just for the lift, wheels and tires, and another $1200-1500 to install it, and a bunch of other stuff you'll want after y

Finally bit the bullet, made a decision and ordered my parts.  Now have a Fabtech 6” Gen II Magneride lift, set of grey Fuel Rebel 20x10 -18 wheels wrapped with 35x12.50r20 Toyo Open Country AT III’s.  

 

I’m terribly impatient so the wait for the stuff to arrive is gonna kill me.

Cost me a bit more than I wanted but in the end it's all good.  $1500 for the lift, did the install myself with a little help from a buddy.  Wheels & tires were a little more than twice the price of the lift, so a little over $4.5K for the whole thing.    

 

Gotta take more & better pics but here's one...

If you're not ready to drop at least $6000+ just for the lift, wheels and tires, and another $1200-1500 to install it, and a bunch of other stuff you'll want after you lift it, put a level kit on it and new tires call it a day.

Don't be so afraid to spend money and roll like me and my pal Frankie.

Oh and let's not forget my Bro covetedstyleemoji857.pngemoji857.pngemoji857.png

Thanks man.  Wheels are Moto Metal, but I hated the fake rivet look so I had them painted solid black, and TOYO Open Country AT.

 

Honestly, I'm not sure which McGaugueys they installed, but the kit is really nice.

yup, sounds about right.  Nice truck!  My lift, wheels, tires, etc. came to a bit over $4500.  Did the installation in my garage with a buddies help which saved me $1000+.  Just had to buy beer & pizza.

Let's see more pics of the truck.
Looks like it's set at 7" or 8"
Front tire looks a bit snug in the wheel well. What size are the tires? Mine is a McGaughys at 9" w/ 37's for reference.1b9f660d05a1f1f33787e50d1095227f.jpg

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
