Any one know how these trucks ride using the reverse hangers not sure if I want to cut mine off

Plus I didn’t c notch so at 7 inches would be bottoming out a lot until can get air bags that will by a while

Ya I like the rear to have slight rake or level just don’t like when front is higher and these trucks can look high in front when level

I definitely think helped bags would help a ton just having over half tank of gas effects mine. I guess I was always lucky in past never had a issue with lowered trucks until this one hopefully I don’t just have a shitty kit If I had a way to raise the rear 3/4 to a inch it would help

What is the wheel centric guides and the gm recall shims you asked about

So you have yours shortened

I did that

Anyone running the ihc drop kits from Inez hot rods if so do you have any issues with kit

Can’t find anyplace that shaft is rubbing plus that would make noise all the time not just coasting after truck is warmed up I have plenty of room at yoke in transmission the one thing I haven’t checked yet is the tranny shaft Inside of the yoke I know the vibration thing can be some trial and error I’ve been working on that now

What brand kit are you running?

So does yours mostly do it on highway when coasting? Mine I can make do it by speeding up a little and letting off the gas doesn’t last very long it also may be better when colder outside and also seems worse with full tank of gas so more weight must effect it. It does do better with transmission shimmed up. I’m going to take all shims out and see if it helps my vibrations. Thanks for letting me know that so far your the first I’ve heard of it

So the reason I went to five is I was only getting 3 inches or less drop with the 4 inch so when I set it to the 5 inch was more like four inches if that makes sense I have inch to inch and half play in drive shaft but that’s the yoke going into transmission but what I’m not sure on is how much room I have inside the yoke where the shaft from transmission goes inside how much are you lowered

Yes it’s for 4wd they say if not going more than 4 inches in front it won’t be a problem with anything I have my doubts at least as far as premature wear on stuff right 4wd seems just fine but it’s still early I originally planned on having to do. 3/5 until I found the Inez kit I’m not crazy about the angle of my cv axles. I also noticed another company doing a 4/6 on 4wd and they showed a video of cv axle still being straight

There isn’t a tone of info on Inez kits but the stuff I did find was all good they told me they haven’t had any issues like mine on this generation of truck and suggested raising transmission. I have used chassis ears on it and sounds like noise is in tailshaft just not sure if it’s more due to pinion angle or transmission angle or driveshaft length or maybe all three this is my yoke with truck on the ground

so I’m using Inez 4/6-5/7 flip kit and control arms I initially set up as 4/6 drop but on my truck the front only dropped like 3” and looked like rear was lower so I removed spacer in front for 5 inch drop now it looks better to my taste Stock block not used truck is 17 crew cab 4 wd I know it’ would be better on 2wd. The main issue at first was on highway when like coasting I would get like a grinding noise just for few seconds if you hit brakes or gas the noise stops however when I shimmed the transmission up it helped was quieter but not gone it looks like I have enough room for drive shaft but hard to know for sure. This kit definitely pushes rear axle back around a inch to help with driveshaft length and I think shimming to help noise may be causing worse vibrations I’m hoping doing axle 4 degrees fixes it been driving it for couple months or so as it’s all I have
