I have this one saved for when I get around to ordering new mounts, he explains it a bit.
Like he said, you're on a forum, and you're getting differing information. The only way to ever increase the Manufacturer's listed payload of your current truck is to sell it and buy a truck with a larger payload. Adding springs, airbags, and stiffer tires will only help the truck feel better...
Anything added to the truck takes away payload. Start out with 18x9 +19 wheels and change out to a different set of 18x9 +19 wheels, but they're 5 pounds heavier a piece? That's 20 pounds taken away from your payload. Can the truck do it? Most likely without issue. Is it legal? No. Should you do...
You'll hit payload before max tow weight. Check your door sticker, see what the payload says, do the math. That number on the door sticker is the truck with a full tank of gas and nothing else. You, luggage, an extra trailer hitch, your lift, your airbags, new wheels and tires, everything else...
Right, I wouldn't expect a shop to sell parts at cost. But a shop isn't (or shouldn't be) paying retail price either. $9 a plug comes out to $144, so $740 in labor. $25 a plug is $550 which is absolutely insane, then $300 in labor. Any way you slice it she's getting ripped off.
I bought front and rear diff and transfer case fluid for $150 from AMSOIL. If you're at all mechanically inclined it's a 1 hour DIY job including clean up. Less than 1 hour for a mechanic shop. Brake fluid is cheap and easy to change. So if they charge 2 hours of labor for the fluids you should...
No, I have the OEM LED housings with the Rebel. I've Morimoto stuff in the past on other vehicles, and their lights/bulbs work great. Never used VLAND before.
If your truck isn't a classic those should fit. The link you sent is eu and it keeps auto reverting me to the US site, but the link says they'll fit a Tradesman.
@Rupp this is the answer. 2020 truck has 2018 maps in it, so if the address is newer than 6 years ago it won't find it. My house is in a field according to my Nav because it was built in 2019.
The rear Bilstein's aren't adjustable so you'll have to change coils or add a spacer if you want lift back there. Everything else looks fine, but I would double check tire clearance to the UCA before getting wider tires. Space is very tight there. I use Rough Country UCA's and haven't had an...
Timber Groves add some bounce if the bed is empty. Even at 5psi (measured by my onboard compressor) it lifted the back of the truck almost 1/2". They replace your bump stops, so at 5 psi they'll still allow for full suspension travel.
This goes back to LED lights being sensitive to voltages. Those cheap Amazon lights are just that... cheap. Not trying to get you to buy more expensive lights, I use a crap ton of cheap Amazon stuff. My reverse lights I have wired up to where when they break or fail I can easily swap out...
You said there was corrosion on the harness plugs. Even if there's a little bit of corrosion left that can cause issues with LED lights. I have 4 lights in my pool connected to one light controller. One of the lights had water intrusion and two of the 4 contact points on the back of the light...
My Level 8 18's are a gnat's *** hair away from the calipers. Seriously though, I think there's only about 3mm of clearance. If they're not careful where they put the balancing weights they'll get ripped off.
White and bronze also isn't too bad. My friend put bronze wheels on his white Xterra...
Just need to be careful of caliper clearance. Some 18's fit, some don't. I used to hate bronze wheels, but they've grown on me and I think they work really well with a black truck. Very similar size/offset to mine of 18x9 +0.
