LOOKING FOR A USED LIFT KIT FOR AN 07 SILVERADO CREW CAB 1500 NEW BODY STYLE 4WD. IF YOUR SELLING ONE AT A REASONABLE PRICE LET ME KNOW. THANKS

 

 

Rancho has a rebate offer going on right now, up to $500 depending on which shocks/lift you get.

 

Also, Zone and Rough Country have decent prices...all depends on what you want and how much you're willing to spend.

I'm going to give you my 2 cents, but its your truck so do what you want...

 

I wouldnt buy a used lift, unless by "used" meant sitting in a garage and never installed. You never really know what the previous owner did with it, how much it has been "tweaked" and overall, this can be a frustrating experience to save just a bit of cash. Plus, how annoying will it be to be missing a few odds and ends, and have to source those on your own (small brackets, nuts, bolts, etc).

 

I would save for a bit longer and get one from a reputable company, so if/when you have issues you can call their tech department.

 

I bought a lift for my Bronco a few years back, used. I'm guessing the previous owner had been involved in a wreck of some sort and the brackets had been bent ever so slightly, but enough to cause them not to fit square with the frame. Long story short, I probably spent more time fixing that part than installing the entire lift.

 

Just food for thought man.

I have the Rancho 4" (which is closer to 6") and running 285/65R18s. The tires do look a bit small, but I just got them about 6 months ago and dont want to re-gear the truck...yet.

 

I like 17" or 18" wheels...but thats just me. If you like 20s then go for it. I think the tires for 20" wheels are a bit more expensive though. And I think the 20s are becoming more popular, so you could expect to see lots of different sizes available, depending on which lift you go with. Just make sure you get the proper backspacing (again, lift dependent). Some knuckles require different backspacing than others.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
