I think the difference for me vs. your experience is having ~1200lbs at the bed-floor level or higher. I actually have *no* rear bar stock, so the Hellwig rear bar will be a great first step. WFO also said the adjustable rear shocks might show up in the next week or two. After those two...

I did about 800 miles of this route (starting up at the Canadian border) last year and I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend it to anybody that is on the fence. I just can't make these dates or I'd be 110% in. This is my route minus the first spur where I forgot to start the recording: I think...

I have torsion style on my WJ (AntiRocks) but haven't considered them yet for the Silverado because as compared to the WJ the flex isn't *that* crazy. Though, I suppose you're right I might find I bind the new bigger bars and break end-links. I guess time will tell. Oh, and yes, front axle is...

4-day trip around Joshua Tree, down to the East of the Salton Sea, then up to the Lake Isabella area: Overall things went well, and worked well. MPG is definitely down significantly, more like 14.5-15 MPG freeway at a ~75 MPH cruise (down from 17ish) and 12ish on 2wd sections of...

Oh good, we haven't talked about this yet in the last 13 seconds! I really enjoy XOverland's long-format content (somewhat less the series that focused too much on the ultra-light aircraft stuff), but this is just one more definition nobody asked for. Just get our there and do what makes you...

First of all, thank you for your service. Second, all you can really do is try to limit mods that will hurt MPG. Lift and larger tires are generally the biggest negative impacts on MPG, and you've already done that so I wouldn't worry too much about the rest. Try to avoid things that hurt...

More fun with numbers... finally got the truck onto perfectly flat/level concrete and re-did the measurements. Front: Rear: I'm going to call the front 49" even, and the rear 47-5/8". This is with the Deaver "mini pack" and a 1.5" block in the rear. You might recall I ordered a Deaver...

Right, what people seem to be missing is with the wider track comes a bigger sweep front to rear as you steer. It'll cause tire clearance issues at the front/rear of the wheel wells that might not happen with the same size tire on a stock offset rim. -TJ

As a guy that just SAS'ed a Chevy, I tend to agree with the above. In my particular case I was attached to my truck, I also have always wanted a SAS'ed D'max, and my truck has been paid off for IDK, 7-8 years so I was willing to throw some $ at it. Still, in theory, selling my truck + the...

Mine is a 2500, and already SAS'ed. ;) Going back to a Full Size for my Overlanding -TJ

Update to the update: despite showing "in stock" at the Duramaxstore when I ordered them, the springs are 6-8 weeks out. I'm cancelling the spring order, and just going to order a 3" block kit to replace my 1.5" kit as a temporary fix and lower the front .5" and see how it sits and works. Then...

Little update... So we did some measuring, here's a measurement at the rear fender *BEFORE* any changes: It's probably 45-5/16" but it wasn't that accurate of a measurement so let's just call it 45.25" to make it easy. Here's after: We'll call it 46.5". So the rear only went up 1.25"...

The short answer is backspacing. The OP *probably* has wheels with less back-spacing aka negative offset which push the wheels further "out" than stock. The result is the outside edge of the wheel/tire travel further reward/forward respectively when steering side to side. GM likes to put...

Just FYSA I ran into this again this morning. Here's what the workflow looked like: I had 7 new notifications. I clicked the notification bell, to display them, and saw they were replies/quotes or likes in 3 different threads. I right-clicked one notification per thread, and opened those 3...

Nice to see the RIG'd swing works well for you towing. I just put it on my rig recently and will be towing with it as well. -TJ

Yeah, some are just terrible - generally ones that focus on trying to recreate meat textures or flavors, but others are great particularly when the actually complement and highlight the vegan ingredients. -TJ

Agreed, if the OP is interested in an actual stick shift then that solves that whole problem. As for the CVTs themselves, it seems like lots of YouTubers and stuff have issues with them - but I have never wheeled with one, or any Subi for that matter so I have no first-hand experience. -TJ

A cousin of mine makes a vegan chili that I actually REALLY enjoy. -TJ

Good call on the Morylate, I actually have their setup too and agree it's AWESOME to just air up all at once, and end up with perfectly balanced air pressures (I usually let it sit for a min or two once I close the valve and stop airing up). On full-time 4wd vehicles like my WK2 Trailhawk it's...
