    Whats the Best 6" Lift, Money is No Object

    I think he's got a Cepek kit on his Tahoe, but is going with RCX on his 'Burban. From my understanding, the Cepek kit is a true 6.5" suspension lift, where a lot of other kits are 4"-6" (6" with cranked T-bars). If you're going to keep IFS, optimizing CV angles will help keep things in check...

    Sucks about your RCX lift. And YES, one of these days I'll actually get around to starting my modifications, lol. But first I have to address my repairs, which I'm getting through slowly but surely.

    Welcome back! Lookin' forward to one again reading and seeing pics of that awesome 2 door of yours.

    Looking for Mods.

    You could run some 285's under there without a lift, but they may rub a little. A really small T-Bar crank might help. Just for reference, there are people who run 35's with no lift kit and heavily cranked t-bars. But going that route adds stress to your front-end with the added t-bar tension...

    New Bumper

    Damn! You already know this, but your truck is awesome. The "Wincher" bumper looks really good on there. Makes your truck look like you could take down small buildings and plow through other vehicles with not so much as a scratch, haha. I've peeked around the KMA website a bit and they make some...

    Looking for Mods.

    Guess your bull-bar lived up to its name, huh? If you're looking for modifications to enhance the appearance of your truck, that are budget friendly, you could consider de-molding, removing the chrome fender trim, color-matching your grill or bumpers (these are budget friendly if you do it...

    Barn door conversion

    No problems with reaching over the tailgate either, but I'm 6' 2". I love my tailgate/hatch setup. I also think it looks nicer and cleaner. If I have groceries or other cargo loaded in the back, I don't drop the tailgate. I simply raise the lift-glass and reach over that way. I drop the tailgate...

    2wd to 4wd

    Yeah, that kind of conversion would require tons of work. Like 07Burb said, you can make anything work with enough time, problem solving, modification, fabrication, and of course $$$. Just my opinion, but I don't think it's worth all that to convert your 2wd to a stock 4wd IFS setup. If you...

    Burping the coolant

    Parking up an incline while doing that seemed to help for me last week.

    Check Gauges light/oil pressure drop

    Sure thing. If you got your oil changed 3 weeks ago, that's awfully quick to lose enough oil for your gauge to start dancing around like that. With age these trucks can burn oil, but that's a bit too quickly. Wouldn't hurt to make sure the place that changed your oil properly fitted your oil...

    Check Gauges light/oil pressure drop

    Check your oil. This also happens when you're way low on oil. You might be down a quart or even 2. This has happened to me before and I checked my oil and was a little low. The way you describe the situation, that's probably all it is. Good luck.

    High Oil Level on Dipstick

    UM NO I'm not saying that at all. Maybe I should have been clear : start it up, let it flow, SHUT IT OFF, then check the dipstick. I know how to check oil levels, thank you. I should have just worded that better.

    High Oil Level on Dipstick

    If you didn't start the truck, the reading may be inaccurate. But if it really is overfilled, I'm with everyone else, just change the oil. You could try a nice synthetic if you haven't already done so. Might as well do oil filter while you're down there. Once the oil is changed, fire it up and...
