    Small update , dropped the truck off on Wednesday afternoon , after some complications of not remembering I told them the stock torsion keys and bolts were sitting on top of the center consul and finding out the lift won’t support the factory wheels it looks like I won’t have it back till...

    Worth every penny , shifts are nice and firm , way more throttle response and my Speedo is correct .

    2006 GMC Sierra aka “granopy”

    I’ve done probably 10 of them in my lifetime and they can be a pain but with no shop anymore doing it in the driveway doesn’t have the same appeal as it did 15-20 years ago lol

    Is This Going to Hold?

    Problem with the rubber tie down is when it gets warm is will stretch some , add that with the force of 60 mph driving and you could have a disaster on your hands . General rule if you shake the load and the vehicle moves before the cargo does your in good shape .

    Pricing to build

    If your not planning on “wheelin” and going over 3” of lift control arms are not needed . 1” body lift and 1 step up in tire size will take you a lot of places . How much stuff do you really need ? Focus on the essentials first , comfy sleeping , basic maintenance and camp accommodations before...

    Hike-In/Walk-in Only Campsite Trend? Why is this happening?

    Guess this makes me even happier to live on the west coast. I just drive to the woods and camp wherever seems like a good place to stay for the night .

    Hike-In/Walk-in Only Campsite Trend? Why is this happening?

    Could be because for the most part car campers tent to leave trash all over the place and hike in campers tend to take their mess with them .

    Tire Size and Bead lock Necessity for Airing Down

    Carry 2 hefty ratchet straps and a air compressor. If you happen to pop it off the bead Use both ratchet straps around the tread to squeeze the tire towards the bead and with a little bit of wiggling you should have no problem getting it seated back on with the air compressor
