what is the best way to measure travel to decide what size shocks i would need? i measured my current shocks which measure 34" open and 20.5" closed. i wanted to get a set of the 5100 series bilsteins but they are only offered in a 34.90" open and 20.75 closed i just wanted to make sure that was close enough to fit.

  I just got a 6 inch lift with 37s and I am trying to regear my Silverado but I am being told everywhere that I can’t regear the front due to the welded parts inside the front housing. The truck currently has 3.23s and it’s very sluggish and mpg is terrible. Has anyone had and luck with regearing on these trucks?

  Read THIS - UI-Bulletin_147b-Snow-Plow-power-provisions.pdf The one P/N in there you need for both plow install AND for upfitter switch install. Read THIS - UI Bulletin 153_wip.pdf Important question. Do you have KEYED ignition? Or is it PUSH BUTTON START?

  Hello all, I have a 2013 Silverado 1500. This thing has had an oil leak for a bit, and was able to track it down. The 2 lines right above the front driveline held in by 2 10mm bolts. That gasket was seeping some oil. Pop the 2 bolts out, add the new gasket, go to tighten the 2 bolts and they will not get snug. now my small oil leak is a larger oil leak. Any advice? Can I block it off and do something external? Looking for options thx Killaz

  I have had both. Both are good tires for highway and light off road use. The Wranglers are a little better in snow, but the Duelers seem to last a little bit longer and are smoother on highway. No complaints about either.
