Here's a side photo from S&B's facebook page. It shows the 1" spacers on the OEM skid plate. Better photo than I got. https://www.facebook.com/sbtanks/photos/pcb.429118567721164/429116684388019/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=s%26b%20tanks&epa=SEARCH_BOX

I'll take a picture this evening. That hang-down was my only complaint about the Titan. It was 2.5 inches lower than factory and a real eye-sore. I was always worried when I got off road. This S&B went up instead of down. It hangs down 3/4 inch lower. If you have a skid plate they give you 1...

S&B is making extended range fuel tanks now. Titan finally has some competition. I installed one a few weeks ago and documented the process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4Vw7_44um0

LOL! And it leaves a couple more ounces of oil in the pan than the OEM drain plug. Just thought I'd get that out of the way... ;)

I timed how long it takes to drain oil with an EZ Drain/Fumoto valve. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcMFk3qDx5Q

Good question. I don't know the spring specs but that brings up the age-old problem. Stiffer springs handle big bumps but are harsh on normal stuff. Soft springs are nice on streets but brutal on tougher surfaces.

Agreed. When the bump stops are called on in any significant way, it's game over for the shocks. So whether the shocks are crappy or awesome, if it gets to that point, and there's more energy to absorb, the data will look exactly the same.

Yup, hard to miss those mountains.

No problem. Thanks. We must be careful using the word "Science" to describe the approach though, lol. The more I thought about it the numbers of variables just increased and increased. This was sort-of science.

I compared the OEM shocks to Fox 2.0's. This was the result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hV_JAEc_aU

Good tip, thanks. I actually do have a half a dozen batteries usually in the truck somewhere.

These projects are fun but are good at reminding me of my age. But any day wrenching on the truck is usually a good day for me.

Thanks. Video makes it look easy and it is, sort of. Probably 4-5 hours if you don't worry about video cameras.

I installed an Air Lift airbag system on my truck a couple of weeks ago and made a video of it. For anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2QWCouORTk

I'll watch for that. It is a valve after all and it will eventually leak. Maybe years from now but it will leak. I still have the drain plug on the top shelf of the tool box and it will be waiting.

On the hole punch thing, I used to do that on my 2011 but gave up. The oil from the very center of the filter would drain but all the oil in the plumbing on top of the filter would still come out around anyway. I need to try it again on the 2017.

I changed the oil on Saturday and recorded it. Put on an EZ Drain valve and thought some might be interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz1aflZQOE4

Something like that but it was almost definitely the hubs failing to engage. The 4Hi and 4Lo indicators come on the dash only when the transfer case has completed the shift and those lights were on.

Yeah, there was no way to tell from the driver's seat except it was obvious the front wheels were not spinning. And no, the hubs were set in Auto. I'm pretty sure if I turned the hubs to LOCK the front wheels would have been fully engaged. Missed opportunity. It righted itself by the third try...

Yup, same system that has been used for 20 years.
