    Got my magnaflow but on yesterday by a local shop. I grinned when I started her up. Love it.

    Magnaflow Exhaust installed!

    Tried doing my install in my driveway by myself. Didn't work out so well, although my 3.5 inch lift made access pretty painless. I just don't have the tools and extra hands that I need. Got an appointment with Midas mufflers the day after Christmas to get it installed.

    Magnaflow Exhaust installed!

    Bought mine while laying in bed last night. Got that exact price...$662.62. Free FedEx shipping. For those of you who didn't install your own, where did you take it to have it installed? Then again, I just might try it on my own.

    Post your engine parameters while driving

    Thanks for the info guys. Today, as I pulled into the dealer, with outside temperatures at 65 degrees Fahrenheit, my gages read: Engine coolant: 212 degrees Trans temp: 179 degrees Oil temp: 213 degrees Guess that's pretty normal then.

    Post your engine parameters while driving

    Just curious as to what everyone else's coolant temp, oil temp and trans temps are reading on their 5.7 V8. The reason I am asking is, yesterday I drive my Laramie to the store. When I pulled into the parking lot and got out I noticed a splashing sound. I walked around to the front of the...

    3 1/2” Rough Country lift

    I got the 3.5" rough country lift with 295/60r20 nitto ridge grapplers and I love it. Rides very close to stock with no issues. Taking it back to the shop so the can retighten everything. They advised I do that after a few hundred miles just to make sure. I did also by the rough country...

    Cost for level kit install?

    That's what I figured. $100/hour labor for professional work that is warrantied on top of the lifetime rough country warranty doesn't seem bad to me. Plus, like you said, it's a new truck, my first truck. If I had experience working on trucks, I might attempt it myself. This way I can be sure...

    Cost for level kit install?

    Well, the kit is actually $599.95 and the tires are $1408 for the 295/60r20 size. So that puts it a little more than $2000 just for the items. Just not sure if $591 for install, balance and alignment is reasonable. I did find out that tire rotations are free which I thought was somewhat...

    Cost for level kit install?

    A custom shop nearby me wants $2600 to order, install balance and align a Rough Country 3.5" lift along with Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the stock wheels. Not sure about that price in terms of deal or not.

    Anyone using a retractable cover?

    Looking at getting the Retrax One XR. I have a rhino liner spray in bed liner. Is that going to complicate the install at all? Also, how is it on water leakage?

    305/55/20 Ridge Grapplers XL

    This has gotten my interest. What is the difference between the co and the e rated tires? I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of 295/60r20 ridge grapplers and before I buy them I figured I'd ask about this size. Also, I checked on Nitto's website and unless I'm looking in the wrong spot...

    Got my Rough Country 3.5" lift installed, need advice on wheels/tires

    Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific about the gender flares. I meant to say that they are the factory installed flares.

    Got my Rough Country 3.5" lift installed, need advice on wheels/tires

    Installed my 3.5" lift the other day and I'm really happy with it. Now my Laramie's stock 20" wheels and tires just look bland. I'd like to get new wheels and tires but wheel/tire stuff is new to me. I'd like the tires to sit flush with the fender flares up and I'd like to not have to trim...
