Looks like the AT4 doesn’t have a body lift. It has longer shocks than the other models (which is the right way to do it).

If you were going to lift it more than what it’s currently at, you’d need new upper control arms that correct caster and help with ball joint binding.

Ah, thanks! I thought I had read it was a body lift.

    I'm not a truck nut per se.  I'm certainly not a gear head.  And, I'm not at all impulsive.  But, I saw this truck on the side of the road two weeks ago, test drove it the next day, took it to my budd

    One year without a truck was too long.  I’m back. And figured, fuck it. I can’t take it with me so might as well enjoy it.

If you want to spend a bunch of money on the front end you could put Fox 2.5 coil-overs on it. They will fit the AT4/Trail Boss with 0" of lift and no control arm modification. For a full front and rear Fox 2.5 set up you are entering Raptor money territory.

 

The part number is 883-06-157:

Typically a lift is not going to improve the driving dynamics of a truck.

A full lift will not, but a replacement of stock components with a leveling kit or small lift with something like a Fox/Icon setup will. Typically in that size range it is the increase in tire size/weight along with a more aggressive tread pattern that is more detrimental than the lift itself. I’ll take the Fox 2.0 setup over the stock setup all day other than knowing you have to deal with rebuilds.

Right, but upgrading shocks is not the same thing as lifting the vehicle.  I agree on the benefits of upgrading shocks, but that's not the same thing as a lift.

The Fox setup is an adjustable 2 inch lift with the 2.0’s and 3 inch with the 2.5. It’s more than a shock upgrade as it is a full coil over lift. If he’s going 4-6 inches then it’s a different discussion.

Fits better here, but my 2021 Landcruiser should be here in a week or so. Very excited. I plan on keeping it for 20 years.

I'll always have a fun car, but I've wanted one of these for a while now. And 2021 is the last year for LCs in America.

you will love it. I have a 2014 and it's outstanding. Only downside is gas mileage is atrocious. I've been driving Land Cruisers since 1994 though so I'm used to it.

Yeah, i have a 2002. It gets 14 mpg no matter how or where i drive it.

You’ll get a 3.5EB and like it! /ford

I love the 3.5EB engine.

But, I'll admit I've never driven a supercharged V8 pickup, so...

 

Last night I got my call from Leif Johnson to finalize my Bronco order. Went ahead with it.  4-door Outer Banks, Area 51 gray, Sasquatch, Lux.

Ford will inform buyers in May an estimate arrival date.  Broncos will be built by the original reservation number order date.  The hard top, V6, 2-door, Lux and Sasquatch packages are in short supply so those selections will cause delays. Even though I have an early reservation date, mine will most likely arrive late '21 due to picking 4 of the 5 short supply items.

Congrats for hanging in there. That is going to be an awesome rig.

When I got my call I told him I’d call him back. I was ready to pass on it. But my wife and kids were both waaaayyy into me getting one. So I called back and ordered it.

Sad truck story: My brother-in-law passed away last week, very sudden and unexpected. My sister is selling his 2017 Raptor. She had just bought a new SUV and has no use for it and the extra payment. He loved that truck. His commute was only 3-5 miles, so even though it's a 2017, it only has 21K miles on it. Selling the truck is the right thing to do but it's still just a kick in the balls to me. I miss my bro and I guess i'm just pissed.

Sorry to hear that Sandman. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

A) this sucks man _ sorry. B) I just hit 21k on my 2017 and I’m sufficiently freaked out. 

There has been one in the parking lot at school the last few weeks.

Pump parking asshole. This is in the wrong thread. Also, do not want baby bronco. blah looking

Looks pretty much like any other similar-sized SUV in its class.

Which is fine, for what it is, but it certainly doesn't get the blood pumping like this one...

Fuck, sorry to hear my friend.

Got the call from my dealer about my Bronco reservation just now. He said there were around 100 reservations in my area (Lake Charles).

Yeah.  I kept looking at the one I saw, wanting to like it, but it just didn't happen. Look forward to seeing the other one

I pulled the trigger on the 2021 GMC AT4. I chose the Duramax Diesel option after I drove it. It has plenty of power and speed which was a concern. 4 days in and I'm very happy and excited about this purchase.

Nice looking truck. What do you think about the tailgate with all of the options?

Where are all of the dealer logos and emblems?

I really haven’t needed to use the tailgate yet but I’m thinking it will come in handy down the road. It’s pretty easy to use. 
 

No decals or emblems at Covert. They didn’t even put on the dealer plate holders. It’s pretty nice.

That is nice. My dealer put a sticker above my sliding window on the back, an emblem on my tailgate and dealer plate holders.

I immediately scraped the sticker off. Am considering taking a heat gun to the emblem on the tailgate to remove it too.

of course the plate holders came off quickly too.

They should pay me or give me a discount on the purchase if they want me to drive around advertising for them.

Fuck thieves. Finally got the parts to get the timing chain rattle fixed on the 3.5 and the shop calls me and says that someone took a sawzall to the exhaust system trying to steal the converters. They weren’t all that careful with it, so there is quite a bit of damage underneath. $25 payday at the junkyard turns into a likely insurance claim. Apparently they have hit our area pretty hard lately. Wish I had some idea of when it may have happened as we have cameras on our driveway, but it could have been anywhere.

The first thing I do when I get a new truck is remove them.

I take it a step further and refuse to buy from a dealership that puts that trash on vehicles. 

Got my factory wheels powder coated, added black emblems and exhaust tips, added gm performance exhaust.

Nice Diamondback. I've got the HD on my Gladiator, I love it.

Does anyone have an idea on cost to get a set of bilstein 5100s installed? I'm tired of how rough my f150 is riding, I suspect it's the leveling kit on the factory shocks

Thanks and same. The load rating of the cover is as much of a tool as keeping things enclosed.

Yeah, the bed on the Gladiator is so small that it’s almost a necessity. I strap shit up there all the time. And being able to have locked dry storage is huge with a soft top.

The local PD out here my way just put out a press release that the shit is happening here on the regular.

You'll use the different configurations of the tailgate way more than you think you will. It's awesome to have. Just make sure you take out any hitches if you have them in before opening it all the way down, I've almost put a dent in the top of the tailgate from that.

Maybe I'm old fashion but if I have to remove my hitch to use the tailgate, that's not a truck.
