I can't speak to the T13, but I have the T1/T12 in mine with Bilstein 5100s. As far as the actual lift, I have no freaking clue because my stock springs were so shot. The T1/T12 have probably settled about .5" to 1" over the last two years. I carry about 170lb of extra constant load. If the...

Falken Wildpeak at3w 275/70r17, Wheeler's T1/T12 coils with 5100s all around. <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/vQoKQYY" data-context="false" ><a href="//imgur.com/a/vQoKQYY"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Check your panhard bar. As the rear end gets lifted/heavier springs (especially when you don't have weight in the back), the panhard bar becomes more angled. When you hit a bump at speed, the body kicks up, extended the springs, and the panhard (if not parallel) will cause the rear axle to shift...

Thanks for the breakdown, I really appreciate it! I'm not sure if your post makes me feel better or worse than before honestly. The hood is just partially latched, it was hitting the headlight which got pushed in a bit and I didn't feel like pulling it back out to push it in all the way. I feel...

Had this ride since 2008. I've hit a deer and been rear ended before, but worried that insurance is going to total it and I really, really don't want that to happen. Prius ran a red, hit my right front side. Didn't see him until the last second. Pushed me into a forester. Honestly, at the end of...

For the rails, I think they appear high because of the cut of the side rails that extend below the mounting point on the roof. I'll take a measurement later but I don't think they are any higher than a Prinsu. It was cheaper than any other option, the crossbars were flush (or nearly flush) with...

Installed my UpTop Overland Bravo rack. A few things drove me to this rack over a Prinsu or any other brand, but as of right now I am pretty disappointed with the product for a couple reasons. No instructions at all, missing parts, the bolts that attach the rack to the truck at the feet only...

LittleHorn81 The yokos will probably perform the best for I-70 winter conditions out of all of those. I'm in SLC so similar types of conditions as you, but still wanted a functional winter tire as I'm not to the point where I want to do a dedicated snow tire. I went with Wildpeak AT3Ws, but in...

This is a great solution and bravo on making it look so slick. I think I would likely opt for LFD's bars on my sport rack, but I want to mount a Roofnest Falcon XL (160lbs) up there and am concerned about the integrity of the rails (obviously the stock cross-members are junk for this amount of...

I did Wheeler's T1 with 5100s in the front (an Eibach spring), one perch up from the bottom. They felt stiff as hell at first, and I also have a V6. As I drove them, especially offroad, they relaxed a little more. Ultimately, I don't think I have enough weight in the truck 90% of the time (no...

I don't have near as much as you, just Wheeler's t1/t12 with 5100s, but after driving with it for a year those types of potholes or dips at speed terrify me. I don't think I've ever been pushed 1/2 a lane over but I've hit some at 70mph that made my stomach jump up into my neck and always...

How are you liking those in tires in E? That's the size that I really want to get but the E range scares me both from weight and that I've heard the ride is really, really stiff until you air down. Not sure how it will affect the tread wear if you air down on pavement for long miles. Only a v6...

Way to check grease levels? Had my CV boots done by a local mechanic 3 years ago. My driver side had torn, and I just got both done because I figured the other was close behind it. Yesterday I put on new coils/shocks and noticed grease/dirt on one side of my LCA on the driver side (in addition...

Small update, ordered the 5100s and some other parts. Ended up getting the Moog FJ coils for the front, and the Moog T4R coils for the rear. Both arrived horribly packaged, with each coil having at least 10+ chipped sections throughout the powercoat or whatever the finish is. They are scratched...

Any idea on shipping cost to Salt Lake City? If you can get it here for $250 and shoot me a pic of the coils so I can see the condition, I'll probably buy!
