I believe that is what they are discussing attempting for when I bring it in to have them adjust it. I’ll probably step down to a 1.5” level opposed to going with new arms and everything for the time being if it comes to that

The tire shop I visited for my last alignment was helpful in retrieving the report which I have attached. I was chatting about it today with my mechanic during a routine maintenance visit - he speculated if this particular truck is right on the edge of needing longer control arms or possibly stepping down to a 1.5" level to be safe. Any thoughts? Are others able to run 2" levels with other stock components?

This is the 2nd worst tire, the one that started wearing first is over on the drivers side. I try to have my tires rotated every 5,000 or so miles. My mechanic (separate from the tire shop that I last visited) did recommend not moving them around once or twice in the last year which I blindly trusted. I did not receive a print out of the report the last time I was at the shop, which I understand to probably be a rookie move. Are alignment reports something that is kept on file that I may be able to call the shop and request? I did have to visit them a time or two after the initial alignment to correct the truck from pulling to the right. According to the notes that I keep in addition to the receipt, the shop "adjusted Passenger Front Caster 0.4 in favor of compensating for right pull". This was after swapping the worst tire out of the front passenger to the drivers side to help with pull. I don't recall having this issue until after the level was put on: Fall 21' - First full set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S's put on Late Summer '22 - 2" Level Installed Summer '23 - Wear in front passenger noted along with tac in sidewall. This tire along with the 2nd worst replaced Late '23 - Remaining original tires replaced with new

I have been experiencing uneven tire wear on my 2017 Silverado. The truck has stock size tires and rims (P265/65R18 T). All suspension is stock and in acceptable shape with the exception of a 2” Rough Country level. I have had the alignment checked multiple times over the course of the level installation (which was done by a mechanic) to verify accuracy. Tires were rotated religiously over the course of the 2 sets and the sway bars are in tact. Tire pressure kept to spec as well. This picture, the front passenger, is from today, on a tire that was rotated into place in early April. It seems to wear more aggressively on the passenger tire versus the drivers side tire. Could this be a negative side effect of the level?

The pocket of the mechanic, he also left a oil change kit and a couple gallons of oil behind when he finished

“Drain and refill crankcase with factory recommended type oil and capacity, replace oil filter. Lubricate chassis were applicable. Top off all fluid levels. Set fire pressures and lubricate door hinges” says the invoice

Had my oil change and routine maintenance yesterday and found this rolling around on my floor today. Not sure if this was supposed to be put back somewhere or fell out of a pocket kind of thing. Anyone recognize it?

I chased a water leak issue which ultimately was coming from two sources... Leak #1 - In the fall of last year I had my back window shattered by a rock. Being a sliding window, the entire back window had to be replaced. My assumption is that Safelite could only source an aftermarket one at the time or that was a cost savings for them. It wasn't until this March or April when I went to do some spring cleaning that I noticed that my front driver's side carpet was constantly wet. After days of leaving the carpet pulled up to dry I returned to Safelite. The tech that I worked with was great and identified that the aftermarket model was missing a dam at the bottom of the slider. This was sending the water straight across the sliding rail and down into the cab. The shattered window’s replacement warranty was replaced with an OEM window. The tech advised that they would be submitting a quality alert to the company. I had to hustle out of the appointment but I tried to grab a shot of the defective unit, the sun did not work in my favor. Where the arrow points to there should be a little piece of plastic sticking up (the dam) that keeps the water directed towards the weep hole and not into the cab. Leak #2 - The rear cab vents appeared to be worn out at the bottom. Likely exacerbated by the fact that I have a cover on my bed and park on a slightly downhill angle at work every day, the water would come down the back of the cab and collect around the bottom of the vent and work its way into the cab. Replacement vents obtained and installed. Obviously there are 1000s of possible leak locations in a vehicle but I thought I would give my experiences, which I solved in part from some other posts on this forum.
