Sorry I meant 7200 newtons not pounds

The bars are way too thick and the pound rating is way too high for the weight of the truck causing it to ride really rough.

So far really impressed with them , they balanced easy , fairly quiet , seem to work very well in the snow so far . I took a 3mpg hit but will be swapping to 4.10 gears eventually so it should go back up a bit

who knows it’s the last year of torsion bar suspension in the 1/2 tons so maybe they ran out of the normal bars and just said “ screw it toss in whatever we have laying around “

Like I said the tires where crap so a upgrade was needed, kinda klever in a 35x10.50 r17 .

Winter exploring is my favorite , even roads you have traveled a hundred times take on new splendor and beauty being covered in a blanket of white and a lot of new viewpoints open up when the leaves fall off . Another plus is usually there are way less people out so you don’t have to travel as...

First couple months I owned it I just left it alone and drove it , got rather good mileage at 20/16 but the tires where just garbage on anything other than dry roads .

Already did shocks the problem actually is the bars . Going off the rpo codes and tags on the bars they are rated at 7600lbs a piece and normally 1/2 tons are in the 3-4K range depending on what packages where added from the factory . So just to make it ride reasonably comfortable even with the...

unfortunately the ride is absolutely garbage due to having and I don’t know why the same torsion bars that come in a 2500 hd diesel so it just rides like a brick

Searched for a while to find a lower miles , pnw owned in good shape Silverado or Sierra . In all honesty I was looking for a 3/4 ton but couldn’t find in good shape with low miles that wasn’t a rust bucket east coast rig . Ended up finding this one owner 140k miles Sierra . Having a truck is so...

Wanted the taste of fire cooked bacon and eggs so we heading to a little River after a morning hike and just chilled out for a couple of hours doing nothing but listen to the fire crackle and the water tumble by . And the little lady made some friends

Ill just pick up some junk yard ones for now , the problem with the ones in it is for some odd reason it was built with a set that usually comes on a 2500hd with a diesel so the pound rating is 2x what a 1/2 ton should have so it just rides like a brick .

Nhaaaa go 35s , bigger is always better . Surprised your getting only 14.5 . On 33s I regularly got 16-17 .

Take a nalgie or other very sealable bottle and fill it 3/4 the way with boiling hot water make sure it’s sealed tight and toss it in the foot of your sleeping bag , helps to get the bag warmed up and stays hot for hours . Also put tomorrow’s clothes in your bag so they are nice and warm when...

Got the canopy shortened .... a little to much , I didn’t account for the way the tailgate comes out in a small arch it’s not straight across. Oh well it’s on and will serve it’s purpose . Next on the list is swap out the torsion bars for a lighter set , a wheel hub and a body lift . .

On the good side I Picked up a canopy for free that’s in great shape , downside is it’s 8” to long ... even more downside there’s not 8” of material on either side of the window so I will have to take 4” off both the front and the back . Seems simple enough but we will see tomorrow .

A little snow around mount hood

I’ve been in Oregon my whole life and if it wasn’t for the coast I would choose Colorado in a heartbeat. love the state , hate the politics , taxes and cost of living .

Sorry take that back I did trim the bumper but I actually don’t think I needed to

No trimming , they are only 10.50 wide so they fit well
