After a recent snow storm, my sensors got all gunked up. Since they were blocked, the truck started to throw up a couple error codes. Not the end of the world, but it was flashing nonstop on the dash. No matter how much I cleared the error on the screen, it just get popping up and jumping between these two. A little annoying. Electronics are great, but they can also impact how the vehicle works in inclement situations. I imagine the same could happen with mud while off-roading...

I know everyone always wants to see examples of what a lift kit looks like compared to stock, so here's a dedicated thread.

This is a Peak 2.25" Trail Kit. You reuse the front struts. There is both a preload spacer (goes under coil on stock spring perch) and a top hat spacer. The rear spring just gets the spacer alone. Rear shocks stay as is. Rides pretty good! Very similar to stock as far as I can tell.

Obviously the tire size is different, but they are only .5" or so tall than factory. Much wider, but just imagine the proportions on stock OR wheels and tires.
