Why do you still have that extra muffler in the back. I cut mine and loosened the connection after the big muffler. You have to force it to down turn the pipe cause there's some dimples in the pipe so they put it together correctly during assembly. It relieved a lot of back pressure. I've been thinking of getting old c6 Corvette muffler I think they might fit welded together in place of the current big muffler for true twice pipes

Getting 24mpg on my daily 90 mile commute helps a lot, paired with some of the newer vehicle features my wife can appreciate have been nice. It’s hard to compare the two vehicles, but for the time in my life and how I utilize my vehicle, it was the right choice… for now… hopefully one day I’ll be back in the sequoia gang haha

Only issue was the hole on the top hat started contacting the front strut shaft and became wallowed out. The shaft was also eaten away a bit. It probably would've been fine for a while longer but when I disassembled them it showed signs of wear. To be fair I had the struts on my truck for over a year and beat on them pretty hard

@treehouseoffroad
@treehouseoffroad Ай бұрын
Are new rear shocks are requirement? No. That's part of the attraction of a spacer lift, you can reuse your front and rear shocks. Would it handle and articulate better with a longer rear shock absorber? Absolutely. You're essentially eating up 3 inches of your downtravel when you install the spacer. We did not replace the rear shocks as they were fairly new when we got the truck, and we had no plans of taking it off road.

They're both really great vehicles so I guess it comes down to personal preference. The easiest way to not get stuck in the sand is to air your tires down.
