Lowes doesnt have to adhere to craftsman warranty only the tools sold after lowes bought the craftsman name.

Simple answer is no. Technical answer is yes lifted the control arms are at a greater angle and send more shock forces to the frame aswell as the track bar and steering all will be at a steeper angle. These additional stresses will be present wether you upgrade control arms or not. I just gave a buddy of mine my extra set of 3rd gen wheels today. These are 17x8 proper back spacing. Tires he mounted are 285x70x17 cooper sst pros. Hes pretty stocked he got them for a free deal. I got them in trade deal. His truck isnt lifted. Track bar may be all you need/want to upgrade. To keep axle centered under truck but even alittle of center with the factory fixed track bar you might not even notice that's why I say want. Your factory shocks will even work at 3" and under lifts. If your control arm bushings are worn you could go ahead and just throw on new arms off ebay. Stryker arms are like 180 for a set of 4 with poly bushings you have option to get stock 3 or 4-6" length arms. I'd be tempted to get the arms for 6" lift since 2-3" length arms are damn near the same length as stock. Guys will argue this till there blue in face saying you have to have arms shocks steering 2 chrome steering stabilizers yada but I've found through experience it's just not true. Yes I'll admit I've upgraded my track bar and control arms but only because they needed replacement and I will never replace a shitty part with the same shitty part. Ahead of shocks control arms and possibly track bar I think I'd recommend a upgraded sway bar end links and replace the bushings that hold the sway bar to the frame with poly. On my truck this made a very noticable difference in handling much more precise and predictable. The white trucks mine. I debated long and hard about coils or a spacer in front and finally decided on a 2" spacer because I didnt want a longer stiffer coil. The rear isnt lifted at all but does still run all factory 3500 tear springs so may sit alittle taller in the rear. It has about a 2000ld in the bed at all times. I did do all upgrades one at a time and actually did track bar first because it was in dire need of replacing. I fabhed a adjustable bar starting by removing track bar tie rod mounting point from the frame . I built a mount to use a bar with 7/8 heim joints this has been one of my better upgrades even at stock height. Ohhh rubber I run is 285x75x17 roughly 34x11 Some stuff on my truck may not be found on any other truck but i feel I've done well hacking stuff together have gained alot of experience

If it was my truck I'd toss a 2" leveling block on and call it a day. Possibly a 1" zero rate ada leaf paired with a long leaf in the rear. Depending on the front to rear stance your looking for. No reason to go hig wild spending money on a little lift. 4-6 is where youl be needing more. At 3" the only thing needed would be a adjustable track bar. Max factory control arm castor washers to positive side

I dont think smarty does any tranny changes other tha apps values. Maybe crank sensor is bad??. I'm very curious about ECM updates. Immediately assuming updates would be loaded on to smarty and then loaded onto ecm ?

Post some photos of this creation suspension please. Did you have a dodge pickup then merge it with a Yukon? Cool project but I think I'd of kept the solid gasser the Yukon had under the hood.

What does it mean to update ecm?

2k right behind the cab . I should have put a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 into spread the load. Since bed floor is no creased

These dodges are no better than any other truck when it comes to working. Trucks that live a easy street life are far different than working trucks. The only thing that stands out is the 5.9 Because we own dodges we get thinking they're a holy grail but they arent. Thet break and wear out like the others having strong and weak points.

That is coooool

I've been around hard working pickups all my life over worked and abused. Maybe abused has more to do with it. Frames tweaking right behind the cab on 2nd gens. I've been semi worried about my bed not lining up with cab. Hopefully just bushings under the cab worn out

What does that ford have to do with leveling. I also think the 2nd gen is known for haveing weak frames. Simile to ford with camper and trailer

I can do it I say as I rack the wrench off the positive start lead. A few arcs later I just go a head and pull battery cables off. Grrrrrr

Curios about this intercooler from a psd aswell as the 3rd gen turbo.. Wake up 1st gen crowd. This is a baddass build.

Just so sexy. Those are humvee bead locks ummmm

Best reply I've seen. I had an old guy explain it to me one time but forgot must not have matterd. Either way I've also managed to make sparks

I have leveled my pickup 2" and believe I tend to use the pickup as a working tool more than most. Its has over 2000lbs of tools in the bed and is often hooked to goose kneck at the same time. I did do it because I dislike the 5" nose down stance and chicks dig it apparantly red heads.

May go into limp mode over 100 105psi at wot. But it may not too. Factory spec is 55ish at idle 90-100 wot Can install resistor so sensor doesnt see more than what I wants. More psi is better. You could then hold a motor with powe over 235hp

Try setting TV at halfway. Mine is probly a out half way were I have TV stop set. I get a 1-2 quick firm shift so.etimes depending on throttle truck will lurche forward in the shift. Not sure I like that or not From a stop throttle input will raise the nose of the truck. 3rd will slamb under only very light throttle .I drive around it. I'm running as much pressure at idle as the factory 47re does at wot. A pull cable would be kinda cool or maybe a adjustable cable like a water truck would have to set pto rpm. max it or set it for off idle characteristics

Tie the TV lever back till your happy with performance. Only time it would move with the pedal would be near wot

Well post post will arc no cables needed

Hes not a keyboard tech.

Dont arc a wrench across the terminals. But not a huge deal if it happens

What no Keyboard techs here? Lol

It took like 8 people to push it out if drive through line. They ended up letting me have my order free. Lol this before I had a truck full of tools. One trip to Walmart for a volt meter then back for a battery.

Drivers side. I dont remember how far under. You could let another vehicle charge it for 5 minutes or so truck would start then die within minutes. Batteries showed same voltage hooked up to truck over 12 the bad one alone under 12. I remember this night well I was alone a few blocks from Walmart so I bought one batter and found out just how heavy a battery is to carry What I should have done was move passenger battery to driver's side to see if it would then fire up and run. Or maybe just unhook the bad battery
