    I finished up my loft this weekend for my 2011 DCLB. For those that are wondering here is the view of the stance and posture of the truck with Bilstein 5100’s all around set to 0, OME 885 coils up front and RXT leaf pack set to Option 2 there is no weight in the back of the truck right now. Stock UCA’s with a new alignment within spec.

    I’m loving the new lift and how it drives. I’m excited to get this thing off road and see how it performs. Thanks to those who have me input on the setup.

    Looks good man. I want to do this but in the back of my mind I worry about sitting at idle and the kids in the back seat. What are your thought on this? Thanks!

    Update to the RokBlokz Mud Flaps Thread, after much field testing...
    The Front Mud Flaps ripped off, the screws that came with the set are not long enough to hold.

    I removed the front flaps, got longer stainless hex heads, 1.75" and 2.0", but they bottom out before all the slack is taken up. Loose is no good, clearance is too tight.

    At this point, I guess next option is drill the truck cab sheet metal that is on the backside of the inside wheel well plastic...

    Any opinions on that? Better Options than drilling?

    Musubi3,
    The Front Flap is 17 inches top to bottom, 12 inches wide. I just did a post on the field test of those front mud flaps, my passenger side flap ripped out on a right hand turn, the screws are just not holding in place. I pulled off both sides, got longer hex head 1/4 inch screws, but they bottom out too soon. My option is to drill into the steel behind or figure out another option.
    Hope that helps.

    Fluid change in both diffs and the T-case. Had 50K miles on the 75W-110 and it was still pretty clean even from the rear diff. Standard metal dust on the magnets-no shavings. Replaced with more of the same- Scamsoil 75W-110 in both diffs and a quart of 75W-90 in the T-case topped off by 75W-110.

    Could think about moving that to the passenger side to distribute weight that may exacerbate the ‘taco lean’. Just a thought.

    Spare tire on the other side, it weights more than the highlift.
