    Got build sheet and have ?

    Might be wrong here, but if it has AdvanveTrac, then a LS isn't possible. The AdvanceTrac relies on electronic sensors to cut power to the slipping wheels. A LS is a mechanical component and wouldn't work with the electronics. My 08 has AdanceTrac w/RSC and only has the regular 3.73 axle...

    What size should i go with?

    My personal feeling and from my research, the 315 are a stretch. If you don't mind some trimming, then I guess they'd fit. My plan is a 295/305 70 17 on a new 17x9. My biggest worry about my decision is the factory running boards. I need to keep em for the kiddos and I don't think the Mrs...

    leveling kit vs 3/2 pics

    My part no. for the muffler was #12578. What we did was make a ss coupler coming out of the cat, into the new ss muffler, trim the existing factory tail pipe, and weld on a new ss tip. My Expy only had 200 mi on it when i did my version of the "cat back" exhaust. I couldn't see throwing away...

    Alrighty, this is the best I can come up with. Before on the front After on the front Before on the rear After on the rear And here's the best shot of the front with the spacers installed, only problem is, you can't see them because the tower mount blocks them. Maybe it will give...

    leveling kit vs 3/2 pics

    @ tallsville...can't really get close ups of the spacers because the strut tower mounts cover them. I'll give it a shot if you want me to, but I don't think you'll be able to see anything other than the new nuts/bolts from install. @ robl110...I gotta go dig up my paperwork to get the actual...

    leveling kit vs 3/2 pics

    Have no idea about a dealer helping you out with speedo correction. However, if you're willing to part with 100, why not throw a little more towards it and reap the benefits of a programmer? Just saying... This is my third set of Nittos, have been pleased with all of them on my various...

    My programmer has me covered on speedo correction. FYI... I was goofing around on autoanything.com and was able to get the Truxxx kit down to $240 with discount applied and free shipping this am.

    leveling kit vs 3/2 pics

    Might want to think about one extra expense, that being, new caster/camber keys for alignment. You may/may not need them but just something to factor into the budget. The factory keys "could" run out of adjustment during alignment and with putting new skins on, don't want to chew them up...

    Mine are 17x8. As far as what would look good, you have one of the most neutral color combos so anything would look good, from black, to aluminum, to chrome in just about any style. I've been looking at the XD Series, just trying to decide on the exact one.

    Handles just fine, very comfortable, no issues at all. When I increase the tire size, I'll also be going to a 17x9 rim so handling will actually get a touch better with the larger footprint on the ground. Even with a LT version of tire I doubt you'd notice it much, these things ride very well.

    First off...Congrats! Second... Have the kit, just don't have the rubber yet. My pics are in my album. Come spring time(income tax return)I'll be going with a 295/70/17. Check blackEB2008 album for his setup, he has 295's. Here's mine in stock form And after the Truxxx 3/2 Hope that helps.

    Question About The Leveling Kits Available For 3rd Gen Expys

    The fronts are completely different from the rear. My kit came with paper labels or stampings on the metal of F and R. When I opened the box it was fairly easy to tell what went where, but the labeling made it idiot proof.

    Question About The Leveling Kits Available For 3rd Gen Expys

    Same size, meaning thickness? Relatively. The fronts have extra flanges on them, while the rears are more straight forward without the extra "flange" material.

    Build sheet

    Ehhh, mess with it anyway! Tell her you need certain things to allow her(you) to get better mileage, more power, less hesitation, etc, lol! I optioned mine to have the 3.73 and the heavy duty trailer tow when I bought it new. The 7 pin is a good sign that it's got the heavy tow, however, they...

    Question About The Leveling Kits Available For 3rd Gen Expys

    I'd be leary of trying to use a front kit on the rear as they are machined differently. I ponied up for the Truxxx kit with a coupon from autoanything.com. Also know that some degree of lift comes from rotating the strut 180 degrees once the spacer is installed on top of the tower. If you go...

    You could always have a dealer run the VIN to find out what you have. Welcome to the forum, I'm in your neck of the woods too! Any mods planned?

    Spark Plug/Coils

    You can just replace the culprit coil and should be good to go. #4 is on the pass side, back at the firewall. My 08 had #2 and #5 go bad and I just replaced them, left the others in place. As far as the plugs are concerned, before the change, run a good fuel injector cleaner through the...

    im gonna kill my truck......

    Even with resetting the code there are times where the ECU is still processing bad info from before the repair. The fact that the cel went back off might mean that the ECU is starting to process the new info and is returning to normal operation. Sometimes this process can take anywhere between...

    Programmer ?'s

    Mileage, throttle response, smoother shifting, higher rev limit, combine them all together, and I'm fairly confident the 0-60 times bettered themselves. I've just never did a definitive test to see it in black and white. My brain and butt are my only guides. I will say that recently I had to...

    which muffler

    FlowMaster, just be careful which series you choose. Speaking from experience, a 40 series has a good bark but the drone at 70 mph is horrible, unless you don't mind it. Had one on mine and switched to MagnaFlow. Really don't know it's there till you hit the loud pedal, cruise is very...

    Which spacers are better?

    I prefer the steel ones. My Expy is sitting on top of the Truxxx 3/2 kit. No issues with form or function, I'm happy with it. This is the 3rd vehicle I've lifted and used metal each time, cannot comment on the poly/rubber ones, never used them. At close to 6000lbs, I'd want as much metal...
