good job fellow forum member.these trucks look badass.I was going to suggest a link to your dealership as they may have them posted on their website.Are you a suspension guru or general tech?

 

thats how i took it.............................

all your lifts on 3.42 trucks? or does the sales dept send to service what ever? like a 3.08 truck?

how did you tune for the oversize tires?

 

No guru, just been wrenching my whole life. I'm the the only tech at the dealership that will modify, so I win by default! I can only modify what they want, so I'm limited. Which sucks.

 

Great pics,if you get a chance snap pics of the kit and as the install goes....thats a lot to ask but thanks for sharing great mods which almost none have done on this new truck...

do you align it or send it out?does it need much adj.? how does it drive?

 

Yeah I pretty much have to work on what they send. They just pic random, so these are 3.08 trucks.

As far as tuning goes, I didn't. There is no option in the Tech 2 or GDS to change tire size. We where told tire size doesn't affect speedo because the sensor is not on the rear end any more. That is an agruement I couldn't win if that is not correct. I have not researched it.

 

It adjust to factory specs. And drives great. I align it when I'm done and the only thing out is toe most of the time.

The hardest part, is these trucks have electric power steering. I took it out of the silver truck to work around it. The black truck I left it in.

These trucks have a Fabtech kit and I was really impressed with it. The rear comes with a spring you have to had to each leaf pack. I really liked that.

 

VERY interesting info,thanks for sharing..this post should get some action

 

When I do another I'll post build pics.

 

I will add, that these lifts use the factory geometry (or real close) so it aligns like factory and rides real close to stock, just taller. The kit doesn't change a whole lot, just moves everything down.

But any body that has ever done a lift knows all that.
