I'm unsure if I want to raise 2.5" or do a 2"-4" drop to my 07 Classic Sierra 2wd? There are a few trucks around here with a 2-4 drop, running 275/55/20's and say they can still haul small trailers with light loads? Look at this guys' truck I work with, he says he can still pull a big boat on a heavy trailer? What do yall think? I use my trailer every other weekend pulling a small zero turn mower and a load of mulch every once in a while. What do yall think?

Raised mine 2" in the front. Who cares if you have 2wd or 4wd, it's all about the look that you like. Myself, I like the looks of a 4wd truck, but live in Texas so have no need for the added expense of a 4wd vehicle, so I've got the best of both worlds.

Well, I went ahead and bought some 275/55/20's last night along with 2" drop spindles and 2" rear drop hangers. I already have 2" drop shackles on the rear. Now, for my next question? When I'm done with this, my truck will have a 2" front/4" rear drop on it. Will those tires work fine without rubbing? That pic in my first post has this setup. But, the guy who has it now is a complete moron. He didn't know what the drop was, height wise and tried to tell me that the Goodmark cowl hood, was a custom one off GMC hood that costs $2500 bucks and that this one was the only one they made. I thought to myself, while he was trying to feed me this BS, what a complete idiot. He also stated that the truck was an 06 and in fact, it was an 03.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
