Im retinting the tails too. I tried doing it with the NiteShades crap, and it was a no go. The truck got 5% tint all around when we moved here to OK a couple weeks ago, and the new axle and coilovers should be going in soon :dunno:

I had 8" Deavers but they road like shit. I found out that Deaver had sent me 3/4 ton springs instead of 1/2 ton springs. I ended up selling them and now Im running an Offroad Design Shackle Flip with my stock leaf pack, 1.5" AAL, and 2.5" Zero Rate. Rides 100% better now!

looks good. You need to raise the rear bumper or by HD bumper pads. i am selling a set if you interested. I might raise my bumper this weekend if I feel up to it.

ok im a little confused here so bear with me. Mainly because I dont know what a zero-rate is. Also how big of a block r u running there?

 

Right now I have the Fabtech lift with the AAL and the block that comes with the fabtech kit. I plan on raising the truck another 1.5"s in the front and want to level it out in the back (so another 1.5-2"s)... How can i do it without going the spring pack way.

Im running a 4" Shackle Flip (4" of lift), Fabtech AAL (1.5"), anda JKWOffroad 2.5" Zero Rate (moves the axle back 1.5" due to the shackle flip and bolts to the spring pack). This gave me about 8" of lift out back. So Im a little lower out back, by about 2"

      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.
