Trouble_shooting

I have the Zone 2313 control arm installed on my 2018. So far so good. I have what equals out to a 2-5/8” lift. I have bilstein 6112 set at the top setting and made custom 3/8” bottom spacers. The upper control arm is nice and square to the spindle. The cv axles that’s a different story, to correct that, I put in 1/2” diff spacers to help. In reference to what the OP is doing to his truck I beefed up the rear suspension with Zone Add a leaf and Monroe Load adjusting shocks. It gave the rear about a 2” lift over factory I have recently been researching the topic of the droop stop. Since we are still working within the same operating envelope as stock. We are putting the suspension near it’s “topped out” position. With aftermarket arms they change the geometry to allow further travel. The problem is the strut only goes so far. added pic since we are talking trucks

Oh man, that doesn’t look good! It once was a nice red color; it now looks like used motor oil. May your search find a good reputable trans shop. Please keep us updated on your progress. We may find ourselves in the same boat someday, thanks

The ride didn’t change much, a little less squat when loaded. One of the sets that I installed were on my wife’s truck. She didn’t notice a difference, in ride quality. As for bolts, I used the factory bolts tighten to factory spec. No noticeable play or unusual sounds.

I went through a similar exercise of math when outfitting my rear axle. I ended up using Monroe Load adjusting shock part#: 58640 vs the Chevy spec. part#: 58648 The #58640 are actually spec. to a 2006 Dodge Ram. Dimensions though, allowed darn near 2” additional up travel. While only losing about a 1/4” down travel. The GM is 14mm eye compared to Dodge 9/16” Bonus is, it lifted the rear about a 1” and firmed up the rear end. I now have installed 2 other sets on fellow K2XX owners and so far so good.

Thank you to Grumpy Bear, CamGTP and OP for starting this thread. After reading this thread and a little further investigation I did the “flip” this morning. The trans. warms up quicker and maintains a much more modest temp. Drove 50 miles in 70* temp. freeway 70mph. Temp never went above 155*. Running 33.5” tires, at freeway speeds it would always run just below 200*. 2019 LD

I have installed Monroe Load adjusting shocks on 3 different K2XX trucks. I used Monroe #58640. That part is actually specific to a 2004 Dodge Ram, however it has roughly the same specs as the Silverado, but it has an additional 1-1/2” of height. Once installed it lifted the rear about a inch and stiffened the rear suspension quit nicely. Win-win? ETA: need a floor jack to help installation

FWIW currently running a 305/60r18 on factory wheels and 1” level. No rubbing or trimming. On my other truck have 0 offset wheels with 33”x12.5”x18” and a 2-1/2” level. This one is close to rubbing inner fender towards driver. ETA: both K2XX trucks 4wd

Indeed you are correct, I decided to call the dealer today and they stated at operating temp; low idle; 15 psi on a mechanical gauge is acceptable. Not to mention the dash gauge isn’t a precision instrument. Thank you

Happy Easter! Long time lurker first time poster. I too experience the low oil pressure at idle (15-20 psi). The truck 2019 Silverado LD 5.3 with 1,800 miles. My wife drives a similar truck and it goes down as well. I am interested to see if OP got any clarification from the dealer.
