I wouldn't let one scenario discourage you. I know plenty of guys who have run levels for thousands of miles and haven't had any issues. I'm hoping this was maybe an issue that would have happened even if the level wasn't on there. I've heard of the solenoids going out on trucks that don't have any mods. I'm also hoping this isn't a case of the service tech seeing the level and automatically attributing all issues to it. That's another reason I wanted to talk to the tech.

After considering my options, I think I'm going to continue running the level until another issue presents itself. If I have to foot the bill for something, so be it. Depending on when my next issue is (if anything else happens) I may consider going back to stock or a full suspension lift. I just can't see me going back to stock now and getting rid of the Nittos. Not only would I lose a ton of money on the deal, I would lose one of the favorite features of my truck.

Yeah, I guess I could give it a go and see how it goes. Man I've been eyeing some ATs for my first set of tires, but damn those TGs would look sooooooo good on my truck. Quick question for ya. I bought my truck from my dad and he has had a bakflip F1 on it for about 10 months. I don't care for the look or function of it and will probably sell it to covers some cost of my tires. No damage, just some light use. What is a reasonable asking price for it?

Yeah, the Trail Grapplers get me more comments than any other part of my truck. I even get the occasional, "nice tires." I just laugh and say thanks. Forget about the truck, right?

I think the F1's retail new around $800. I would say you could probably get $400 for it used if you want it gone fast. Maybe like $550 if you hold out for a while. I'm one of those people that wouldn't buy something like that used, so I might be the wrong person to ask haha.

Wow, I just looked. Looks like the F1 is going for $900 and above brand new. You might get $500 or $600 out if it then.

thanks man. I'm about to start a lame *** build thread and see where it goes

It won't be lame man. Different strokes for different folks.

Ok, so I did some more thinking last night and this morning. I eventually wanted to move to a Rancho 4" lift with this truck, so I'm thinking I may do this sooner than later. I just need to find a for sure answer on whether I can run my stock wheels with the Trail Grapplers. Rancho's site says that they will fit 35" tires with 20" wheels. Stage3's website has a customer specifically ask about 20" stock wheels and 35's and the response is along the lines of them being safe and only recommending 33's. I think I might call Stage3 today to see what they say.

I'll have to start pricing installs, as I'm sure that will add a significant cost. I'm looking at the lift plus Rancho RS9000XL shocks at $2000. But, Rancho is running a promo for a $400 mail in rebate until June 30th. There is also a $60 coupon code for Stage3 right now. So that's $1,540 without install.

I might have to start my own "will it fit" thread. Haha.

Check out drbeardface's build. He has the rancho on his stock KR wheels with 295/65R20 TGs

il_duce

Thanks, man. I just looked...that is one sweet setup. Makes me want it even more now. He is actually running the 4" Rough Country lift though. I haven't researched it over the Rancho to know how they compare.

I feel my wallet getting lighter shortly.

There are others running the rancho with stock wheels. Check out this thread:

Also, I just got an install quote on mine, Ill PM you what it was and where that is at if you are interested.

Buy it now before the $400 promo is off!
