How does your truck do with 33s? Like cruising down the highway? Does it kick out of OD on hills?

Snaggletooth

Truck looks great. Helped me figure I'll be going with 33x10.50s.

Merfman

I've only drove ~4 miles down the highway, with no hills. It did kick into overdrive, but did not notice it kicking out.
I have put <300 miles on the truck since lift/tires, still working out the buggs. Mileage right now sucks @ ~8 mpg, lots of idling/diagnosis.
Checked codes, had vacuum leaks and O2 sensor not working. AC blows cold now! New O2 sensor and PVC valve came today, got to love Rockauto!
Will be next week before install, Have to work all weekend.

I'm wanting to do a leveling kit with BL or 4in susp lift, but I'm scared about 33s because it seems on the hilly hwy my truck with 31s kicks out of OD on every hill

Started my lift today but they did not put in the instructions for the rear blocks. Im guessing I dont leave in the factory blocks because that seems to leave very little threads on the new U bolts.

Did you order the sway bar drop down bracket and longer break lines for yours?

Merfman

I reused the factory blocks with the new lift blocks. Was unsure if correct or not, but the u bolts would have been way to long not using them. I plan on a shackle flip later if I have trouble with wheel hop this winter. No problems as of yet.
On my truck, no sway bar to worry about. Brake lines are stock replacements, but are maxed out at full drop. I don't see this as an issue because I will only use for street and "light wheeling" off road; Two tracks, farmers fields, and plenty of snow. Hunting and fishing rig. No rocks here to crawl over, too old for deep mud. (been there, done that)

Chris93XLT

ok well I went with no old blocks and guess I will be adding them back after Im done with the front. I have the passenger side tore down most way just trying to remove the old bracket for the arm where it bolts to frame.

Merfman

Chris, Your truck may end up being "level". Mine still has the factory "rake", which I love.

Here is a little eye candy for motivation.
