I recently installed kryptonite upper control arms and had issues getting the balljoints separated. My truck is lifted and all of the ball joint separators were too small for my oversized knuckles. I ended up ordering this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBPN18MG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title and it worked effortlessly. This could have saved me a ton of time if i had it sooner.

I have 20% on the front 2 windows and 35% over the factory black rear windows. I also have 50% on the windshield. It matches great!

Take a long zip tie and connect the fender liner to the bar behind it and pull tight! I think i had to make a small slit in the liner to run the zip tie.

I had to trim the plastic valance under the front bumper. I originally did a regular norcal then ended up buying the trim plates and cut out the mangled metal and installed the plates. Make sure to paint the area so it doesnt rust. Nobody will notice that anything was trimmed on the truck other than you.

I have a Fabtech lift and i installed it myself. Im sure the process is similar. Make sure to have a helper, its going to take way more time than you think to complete, make sure you have all of the needed tools before you start, and not sure what wheels you going with but you may need to look into doing a NorCal mod. According to customwheeloffsets a guy with the same truck and list and same offset claimed minor plastic trimming. I ended up having to do a full NorCal to be able to get the clearance i needed.

Im not sure about zone lifts but i have a fabtech and my stock 20" wheel would not fit on the front. The new knuckles are too big and would scrape the wheel. If i wanted to keep the stock id have to run a spacer.

I bought one from autozone that had a plate welded down from top to bottom. Much better design than the stock.

My condenser just went on my 2018 silverado. It was 2 months out f warranty and only 34000 miles. I called GM and they said they may help cover it but they took way too long. The dealer quoted me 1400. I fixed it myself for less than $200. GM took 2 weeks to call me back. Living in florida with young children I just couldnt wait that long.

That happened to mine as well. The fuse wasnt blown. I just took the fuse out and put it back in and it fixed the problem.

I have 22X12 -44 offset with 35" tires. I was hoping to only need to do minor trimming but i ended up having to a norcal mod and minor trimming on the front valence.

I installed the fabtech gen 2 a couple months ago and have no issues at all with it. I picked that lift because of the factory track width. I wanted to run a 12 wide wheel without sticking out farther then needed.

12 pro works so i dont see why the mini wouldnt.

Beautiful truck! I am considering this lift as well! How do you like it? Any negatives worth mentioning? I am looking at this lift mainly due to the front track width not changing.

I am considering these two lifts mainly because they claim that they do not widen track width. The fabtech basic gen 2 6" lift and the McGaughys 7-9" lift set at 7" both claim to not widen the track width. Ive read conflicting things about the track width on the McGaughys but they claim that at 7" the width remains stock. Any pro's or con's for either of these lifts? Its a 2wd truck so my options are limited. Thanks for the help and insight! Im hoping to make a decision and order very soon!

I am planning on lifting my truck and changing the wheels in the very near future. I want to run 35" tires with a negative offset wheel so I need to lift 6 or more inches. I have a 2018 silverado rwd that im lifting for looks not off road performance. I know zone is very popular but id rather not widen the front track width. I read that fabtech gen II 6" and mcgaughys set at 7" do not widen that track width. Any others? Also i thought i saw the mcgaughys economy lift available before but now im unable to find it. Thank you for the help and info!
