    100% only because ECGS requires it. It is some freaking thick stuff, and you build some crazy forearms pumping that stuff into the diffs. It's also $$$ and hard to find. No auto store around me carried more than 2 quarts of it.

    They make decent stuff there is just one flaw with the shackle flips for the stock springs is they don't optimize suspension travel and put the shackle at not the best angle.
    3 leaf will be better for majority on road driving the leafs are each softer that's why it's more progressive.
    It's a stiffer spring not that it has more bow it has the same spring rate as the 3 leafs combined. Arch has very little to do with it they match the factory arch for all of them.

    They have a whole written out thing on their website on it. I don't particularly agree with some of it. But lucas is good stuff. If you are all factory just go with what the recc weight is.

    Hey don't laugh at the whole floor mat thing. When I was a tech at the Chevy dealership we had a recall for floor mat movement :rolleyes::rofl:I hated doing the stupid shit like that.

    I'm pro maintenance more often than prescribed especially if your vehicle sees "adverse" conditions (aka lots of stop and go, extreme hot or cold temps, and lots of offroading :anonymous:). My oil gets changed every 3k diffs and trans every 15k, air filter about 3-4 times a yr, etc. Only thing I don't do is keep my steering nice my pump hates me and so does the rack, they are dead.

    I bought Weathertechs for my 2nd gen, but I actually like the factory all weather mats that came with my truck now. They have already been filled in with mud from my previous trips. They washed out nicely with soap and a push broom though!

    I take my huskys out at the car wash and spray the wheel and tire cleaner on them then spray off they come out looking brand new.

    I need something like that, would seem much easier! I have to scrub my mats of all that red Bama clay to get them back to black again.

    Just go to the car wash select the wheel and tire cleaner soap let it soak and spray off. My truck has had the AL clay in it a few times and it comes back to black easily with that shit. Plus they have our clay and mud on them all the time.
