    13 years of ownership. Taken out by a Porsche owner

    The rear frame section is rusty in this truck or I would have thought about fixing it. No point now. On the hunt for another one. Also the tire got jammed up into the body buckling the floor. It’s f’ed.

    Rough country 3" rides rough

    Rough country is junk. Rancho is junk. Took the Rancho ones out of my 05 exp and just went with lift blocks with bilstein shocks. Much happier.

    "ROARING" Noise at Higher Speeds (70mph +)

    Wheel bearings. Very common. If you do the front. Replace the vacuum hub locks for the 4x4.

    Alternator output voltage

    400$ for a battery. No thanks. It’s 140 (220 retail or so) my cost for a tested 1100CA mtpHD-65 interstate. That will last 6-7 years. I’ve never even herd of a north star. And a warranty coverage at most any repair shop with interstate.

    4x4 lowering

    300 doesn’t sound good for a coil over kit. Sounds too cheep to me. Lift blocks are different. That’s what I did. 3” front 2.5” back. Sits perfect with the 33” tires.
