finaly got the new tires installed on my mickeys they look great, the front keys are cranked up a good bit and i did have to cut the front bumber a tad but only on the underside where no one will see it. These tires were actually just discontinued from mickey due to a product change but the are the baja mtx.

 

looks and drives good, they have a little noise but not alot these arent real aggressive they just stick out a tad.. i went with the 33x11.50x16

sorry guys little late on the reply but thanks for the thumbs up. Rocco i have no idea as to what its going to do to my quarter but i hope not too much, honestly i haven't even sprayed the truck yet either, but i can tell you i can still spin these things, they make a little noise like a blood hound ..lol but i was happy they still spin..

 

I didn't plan on getting a tire that was too aggressive as to try and not blow the rear out of the truck. These tires weigh about 37lbs unmounted so there a little heavy and a load range D tire but just looked cool to me. To finish off the rest of the truck.

 

the install on the kit wasn't bad, i can tell you that you have to have the T-bars set right other wise it will sit funny, i had my kit on for a while i just never had the T-bars set right so this time i had them reset and i got another 2" out of them. The back kit that truxxx offers is just blocks so that was like a 30min job. The front with keys and shock spacers was like 2hrs. The corsa exhaust under the pass side gets in the way a tad due to the 3" cat back set up they have, but giving it a nudge and the tool fits right in.

 

Im still doing some programming changes to the Diablo but i didnt loose hardly any power and don't notice any kind of drag.

yeah guys, ive been selling aftermarket parts for a while now and got to tell you that if you want a good leveling kit go with truxxx. Ready lift makes a good kit as well but had only just started selling front and rear kits,...the guys at truxxx are kinda like car guys and get a kick out of this stuff.

 

so from a business standpoint i love these kits. Personaly i think there great as well and the best thing is now when i pull up behind a honda my headlights are in there cab..lol and also as most of us know the ford f150's sit up higher than our z71's now this lift makes them look bad, especially with some fat tires as well.

i forgot what the kit itself cost i think it was like $400 or something, again its a specal kit that includes front and rear parts. but you should get an alignment afterwards.

I miss having my headlights shine into the cab. Really pi$$es people off, and I laugh my a$$ off!

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
