All Fixed Up! Lift, tires, exc.

[19llhpb]

Here it is, all accessorized! 2019 Longhorn (truck details in my signature)
3 1/2” Rough Country lift (actuall 3 1/2” front 1” rear), Mayhem 20x9 8103 wheels ( 0 offset), Amp 35x12.5 Terrain Gripper A/T tires, Express roll up tonneau cover, AVS smoke colored bug deflector, AVS smoke colored in channel window vent visors, 12x18 rear mud flaps, front mud flaps, front door window tint 20%, windshield brow tint 5%.

Absolutely love it! Looks like a truck now. The ride is surprisingly still very nice. With tires and lift the front is 5 1/8” higher than stock, the rear is 3 1/8” higher ( measured on level concrete floor before and after). Even with the lift, I did have to trim some of the plastic and zip tie it back on the lower back of the front fender wells to get the 35’s to not rub when turning. They clear by about 1/8”. With the 0 offset wheels it does provide a slightly wider stance. I didn’t want to go to aggressive. I believe stock wheels are around +17 or +18 offset. The tires are 10 ply but only have 40 psi air. Would have liked the rear end to sit higher with the lift, especially when I tow my trailer. I know it may effect the ride, but thinkin about adding in coil rear air bags which will be available in late August for the ‘19. I figured no matter what I do, it will still ride better than my 2010 3500 shortbed did!
Also, adjusted my headlights and we are good to go!
Update: 1-20-2019 I did add rear coil air bags and also swapped the 1” block for the rear coils that came with the RC lift with a 2 1/2” block from Southern Truck. Has more of a rake to it now, the front no longer seems too high!
Update 2-26-19
Drilled hole through rear lift block for airline for airbags when installed. After many tries and tweaks the air line keeps pinching, cannot get to work. Removed bags.

Well done, Sir! I agree with you on the lift sizes/dimentions (I like a little more rake), but that is indeed a real truck now!

Also, adjusted my headlights all the way down and they are still shining slightly higher than stock from the factory. Hope I don’t blind anyone!

Looks great. Where did you get the window vents? Do you have a link? Thanks.

It's a good thing yours has eTorque; you might get 12 mpg

No link, I had everything installed through a local shop.

 

[Jared B]

That looks great! It really turned out well.

 

[0212353]

Nice, but I wonder if 34s would fit better - kinda looks stuffed in there (tires).

I can't wait for someone to come out with a lift for the air ride trucks...... keep seeing these pics and want more lift! lol

 

[2019REBEL]

What were you thinking for rear. I was looking at the airlift 1000HD to give it a little boost when towing.

Honestly I am not sure yet, need to do some more searching.

 

[2019REBEL]

Thats all I got is time. Just ordered mine today so figure 4 months(November time frame) so I have been looking/searching all the different things to put on it.

Sounds good, helps pass the time! Also congrats on the order! Stay positive, the wait will be worth it!

Great looking truck!
Would like to ask about your tint on the wind shield. Can’t really tell from these pictures, but is it a complete window tint that lets through 95% or a cap that lets through 5%? Reason for brown?
Thanks! P

Hello P, thank you. The windshield tint is a cap ( or brow as it is sometimes called) that is only 5%. The reason for the brown lower paint is I wanted a two tone paint just to be different and the Longhorn’s only come with brown being that two tone lower option which includes colored bumpers.

 

[Pnorth]

Ah, thanks! I misread your post and thought it said "5% brown", not "5% brow" Hence my question "why the brown". The haze from a cold...

The brown on the body I completely get - it looks great!

Brgds, Paul

I understand, some have asked about the brown two tone though!

Wow. Not that your truck didn't look great stock (love the longhorn and RV match), but your choice in wheels and tires made the truck look so much better.

Really like the blue, great looking truck

Very nice I love the Mudflaps

What were you thinking for rear. I was looking at the airlift 1000HD to give it a little boost when towing.

I have a 2010 with a 4" lift. I have been using Total load Control Bags. They work great. Much more expensive than the ones that go in the coil, but worth it
