OK, this may be a little long, but here goes. I have a 2015 z71, and the ranchos were pretty soft, so at about 30k miles I installed bilsteins on all four corners. I put the ring at the slot to add 3/4" or so, and I run slightly larger tires. I'm now at almost 150k miles. Last year I replaced the upper control arms with cognito ones that supposedly correct the ball joint angle. I also replaced the CVs, and figured heck, it's only a couple bucks more for extended length CV axles. (I also replaced the lower ball joints). So I'm sitting at about 1.5" in front, and I've got the improved angle control arm, and extended length CVs (they telescope a little). I think I need new shocks and springs, so while I'm doing that, does it make sense to replace the hubs too? I'd like to get another inch or so, but I have no idea how to do it. I'm looking at the eibach pro truck stage 2, shock and coilover, which says 1.75-4" lift. Do I do a hub with built in lift? Whats the best way to get about an inch more of lift while I'm swapping the shocks? I'm really all over the place. Thanks!

Has anyone seen anything decent for black friday? Specifically I'm looking for a zone 4.5 lift, spark plugs and wires, new brake pads and drums, etc. What is everyone else trying to pick up?

If you are having a rattle from the suspension after you installed a block, try tightening the nut on top of the shock assembly while you have the truck on the ground. The nut is accessible through the engine bay.

I ordered from shop chevy parts, 35 plus shipping, got shipping confirmation the same day

Which projectors do I want to upgrade to on a silverado with oem projectors? The fxr projectors that everyone is using, they are designed for dual output, do you just ignore that part or does it make a difference? I'm looking at the morimoto elite hid system, but it does not include new projectors. Also, it says it includes the capacitor link, is that the anti flicker can bus capacitor? Using these for low beams only, do the hids stay on as drls? How does that work? Thanks

What makes them crappy or not? I've got a Z71, and I love how it rides, so I would consider them an upgrade over the standard shocks.
