Bonder, what happened tot he plastic piece on the bottom of the front bumper?

 

Bonder the first thing i actually thought when i saw yours was that the missing valance made the truck look twice as mean. Ha.

Thanks for all the pictures guys. It makes the decision making process far easier. Initially i found some information on those bilstien 5100 adjustables that act as a leveling kit. I wanted to do that Plus 33's when my tires died...

But god that 6" + 35's look is just TERRIFYING!! I would not want to have to pull up next to any of you and deal with my inadequate size issues.

anybody run that setup with 3.73's? or have ya'll upgraded to a larger size? I'd just hate to lose all that extra speed i've built up... which is why I am leaning towards a Level + 33's.

GREAT TRUCKS!

 

I'm still running my stock 3.73's and it's not bad (not great either) but will be upgrading to 4.88's when 2 more inches of lift and 37's come. Stay with 33's if you want to keep performance as close as possible to stock

 

Ive only had my lift on for 5 days or so, but so far i have noticed very little power loss with the 35s, the 3.73s really arent that bad. The BFG KM2 tires arent as heavy as most mud terrains, so i guess that helps. Things may change once i head up to the mountains though, climbing and elevation is always the big decider as far as power...and i always wished for more even with the 3.73s and stock tires.

I'll be upgrading to 4.88s.

 

Now i guess some owners are going to need to post some pics of 33's + leveling or whatever lift they have! and then i can decide which look I should go for.

But all the great pictures from everbody else are still very welcome on this thread!

If you ask me... every thread needs more random pics of BATs (BAD @$$ TRUCKS) - so that we can take a break from all that tough reading and just stare and drool for a few seconds

 

Do a quick search and there are tons of topics with pics of leveled trucks with 33's.

 

But who doesnt like to see all these trucks in one place?

The search wont let me input 33

I am not a member so I cant search

My search bar is broken

 

here is mine with a 2.5 leveling kit

 

It will let you input 33's

 

dont let the power loss scare you away. i have the 4.6 w/ 3.73 LS. when i picked it up from getting it lifted truck was a turd. barely could do 80 WOT. installed xcal2 vmp tuned and k&n CAI and truck performance wise is not bad at all. it made a huge improvement in my power. tons of people run 35's w/ 3.73's. do a lift and 35's, programmer gryphon or xcal2 from vmp or troyer, and intake. the power loss should not bother you at all.

 

I also have the smaller 4.6 with 3.73 gears. No power mods. My truck is FINE for me. I even tow a trailer and buggy OFTEN up some pretty steep hills. No issues.

 

I noticed less power when I want to giver on the highway but from a stand still it seems to be doing fine....

Can't wait for the turbo though! SSOO excited !!

And my valence... well I need to trim it...but I'm soo busy right now... You know working on the weekdays and well... partying on the weekends! I'm 20.. I need to live :P

 

Here's mine, one pic is from my phone so it kinda sucks

So hows the ride quality? And would you install the Pro Comp again?

 

Mine rides great and would install again with no hesitation
