good description thanks for taking the time to photo and document. Any reason you chose to re-cover the originals rather than adding a cover?

I can't help with the spacer question (but I think whatever you do in the front results in 2x...a 1 inch change will result in a 2 inch lift), but I will let you know what I did. my 05 Limited V8 had the RAS and XREAS. Everything worked great up until last winter then the ride deteriorated...

it actually kind of sounded like a tranny or transfer case whine to me.

I have one, over 100k miles. About 10k ago, I pulled out the Rear Air Suspension and disconnected XREAS. Went with OME springs, shocks and coilovers. Rides well with about a 2" lift. Replaced brake pads and rotors about 25k miles ago. Replaced diff and trans fluids with synthetic (it gets...

Whitebeauty I just bought an LED "kit" from Whitebeauty. I added in the reverse LEDs to the interior kit. Cost, including shipping was $200. I replaced the rear interior cargo light, the two central "dome" lights, the two front seat "map" lights and still have two small LEDs to put somewhere...

which V8 year? I must say, I am very satsified with my 05 V8. It has the vvt-i which the computer controls and seems to attempt to anticipate your driving needs. I didn't buy the V8 for towing and was not concerned about fuel economy (many threads on fuel economy if you are interested). I...

I can't remember the exact price. I think it was around CAN $120 for both struts including the brokerage fees from Partznet. So far they have worked fine regardless of temperature...I must admit they were a little stiff around Christmas while I was in Saskatchewan but it was close to -40 at...

I have been getting about 14.5 miles per US gallon in city traffic very consistently. My daily trip is about 10 miles one way. I would say I am an average driver, not jackrabbitting (every time) but not getting "pushed" from behind either. On the highway I normally get about 21 on a 300 mile...

I have never heard of this problem before. I can think of a couple of things that would do it, either an electical connection (as a result of the auto-closing feature), or a mechanical linkage problem. Both of which will require you to take off the rear lift panel from the inside. Which...

New struts installed I ordered a new pair from Partznet. UPS took a couple of days to get them delivered (they needed brokerage fees because they had to come into Canada). I called the local dealer, they wanted $107 EACH. Wow. I didn't even bother trying to find a wrecker. Took about 15...

I have a 2005 V8 Limited with about 40,000 miles on it. I initially thought it was due to lower temperatures, but even in my garage at about 50 degrees the hood will stay up initially. Once the hood is fully extended open, it settles down about a quarter of an inch, then keeps creeping down...

I am having trouble with the hood "automatically" closing at inopportune times (like when my head is under it). The struts won't hold the hood up for more than about 10 minutes, and when it comes down, it can cause some damage - personal and/or mechanical if there are tools or parts sitting on...

Won't flash my HIDs A number of things come to mind regarding this practice. Since I put HIDs on my high-beams, I won't flash them. One, because it takes some time for them to warm up and two, because I don't think it is good to do to the ballasts to blast them on and off quickly. A second...

I think this is possible, but I would have a number of concerns about doing it. Warn Industries makes a multi-mount winch that actually fits into a hitch receiver. The winch can be relocated to the rear of the vehicle if necessary. I understand the mounting hardware on the front of the...

Looks good. Very low mount. Do you have any sort of protective cover for them? Where I drive, there is a lot of loose rocks on the road as well as big bugs (grasshoppers and such) that can do serious damage to the radiators. I installed the black mesh grill inserts from Cloud Rider about a...
