Does this help? It’s the best pictures I can get to how one was routed here.

I'm not sure if this helps, but here's the installation manual for it. If you need one of the images blown up, let me know. image01-21-2022-074818.pdf

Any of the kits have the potential for driveline vibration. There's plenty of companies that make shims to help with this. I'm going through trying to correct pinion angle right now due to a vibration at 30 and 60-70mph. As @shakenfakesaid, a c-notch won't affect the drivetrain. You won't need a notch for a 2/4.

I'm running a Maxtrac 3/5 on my 21 2wd Elevation. If you're looking for a 3/5 I would look at kits with a notch. Maxtrac rides a bit rough in back imo, but that can be solved by running belltech shocks in back. Mine does come in contact with the shortened bump stops on harsh bumps, so I'll be notching the frame here shortly and adding the IHC helper bags. IHC makes a nice complete kit with helper bags, Belltech is solid as well and rides nice. I haven't dealt with Mcgaughys for a lowering kit, but had their 7-9" lift on my 2014 Sierra and was very happy with their service and the quality of product. What size wheels are you going with?

What did you end up doing with the Belltech shocks? Interested in selling them?

21 elevation on maxtrac 3/5 on lowest strut setting rides ok in front. Rear you feel everything and hits the bump stop pretty regularly with nothing in the bed. Some of the rough ride is from the 24s but it wasn’t bad until it was lowered. The worst of the kit is the driveline vibration. It took 7degrees of shims to get it somewhat decent. Love the look and want it a bit lower but as you would expect with a cheap kit, you’ll get cheap parts equating to a bad ride.

Phat phabz has kits for front and rear. Tons of modulation needed to work so be ready for that. Relocate or build a new gas tank, tub/cut up inside of the bed, need two piece drive shaft made. Etc. Up front they’re pretty hush hush on their modification of the electronic brake booster since it’s right in the way when trying to lay out and/or turn. I have the kit front and rear sitting in my garage and I’m collecting other parts needed for the installation. Probably start early next year. Be ready to pony up big $$$ to get it done right though.

24” Asanti ABL-30. 3/5 drop getting installed this weekend.

The first thing I had to do was get rid of that 4" screen. Night and day difference between that and the 8". The 10" would have seemed like overkill coming from the 4". I was one of the people testing the i-datalink module in the later stages. Very pleased with that piece. I ended up going with an Audison Bit Ten D to get a quality clean signal and control.

I'm sure it's useful for those that want to mess around with their apps while driving, but I wouldn't use it. The 8" has everything I need. I'm good with having an hdmi input so you can use the cable to connect your phone and see what's on the phone if you want to watch a video.

I have the x008u Alpine 8" in my Sierra. Very happy with the unit. Not sure a 2" larger screen is worth the price jump though. I went the Alpine route for the slightly larger screen and optical output for external amplifiers with optical input for better sound quality. At the time Alpine was the only option for optical. They have been making solid units for years, but they're always more expensive than the competition.

Yeah, we'll see how the next few paychecks go, tough dropping the cash on 37's when these only have 5k miles on them. It's a 42" bar.

Set the front at 9" and added a leaf to the rear. I like the look but Now I feel like I need 37s ?

I have the McGaughy's kit set at 8" and get a light vibration when in 4wheel hi. Contact McGaughys about it and sent in pictures and they said everything looks perfect and that some trucks just need a driveshaft and they will not cover the cost. Not exactly the best service I've dealt with. Since it's summer, I'll worry about it in the fall. I'd go a different route than Mcgaughys though. The chrome inserts have started rusting after just 6 months as well. Another thing that they will not cover. Not really sure what their warranty does cover.....

They've done a few different setups for the 14+ Sierra and Silverado. Looks great IMO.
