    I plasti-dipped the wheels (because they were grey) and the center caps. I carefully took a exacto knife and pealed out the inlay to reveal the red lettering underneath.

    Too few to list.
    They are right but from what others have reported, all depends on the truck. From my experience, over 2" is when it's hard to get +2 on Caster setting. 1.75" can still get around 2.2 or more if you're lucky.

I want to make my 2010 be a smooth ride on like rough rides with holes any rocks and i don't want to be cheap but i also don't want to spend a fortune i just want to know what would make it less rough, and i also have a 2 inch leveling kit on the front, let me know what the shock experts know as i really know 0 about shocks other than what i have read, thanks!

    Bilstein 5100s all around, OME 884 if you have a V6 or 883 with I4 coils, and a 1.5" AAL in the rear. Ditch the leveling kit. You can buy a complete kit from Headstrong Offroad for ~$700

    Whenever you find that cadillac ride for both on and off road make sure you let us know what combination you used. I have a bad back and a stiff suspension keeps me from doing any mods to mine.

    Does anyone remember someone swearing that ArmorAll was the best way to clean their engine. I've been looking everywhere and can't find the thread. With so many different materials under the hood, I just don't want to use a cleaner that works on some things but makes other materials eventually turn brittle.
