any body here install a long arm setup? I am curious as to how the ride quality is and how much it affects the towing capabilities.

I know this may sound funny but has anyone with their lifted truck after a while feel like its tiny or doesn't look lifted? Ive had mine for a bit now and to me it feels like a stock truck and doesn't seem all that high to me lol maybe its cause I'm 6'3" idk

Been driving lifted trucks since I was 19 and can confirm they feel normal now. Stock height are low riders.

 

Same thing with lifting weights. You always feel like youre never as jacked as you should/could be

Ok boys need some help!

I'm looking at putting the performance accessories 3" body lift kit part#10293, but I can't really find any reviews and was wondering if anyone is running it. I'm adding it to my RC 2.5 level kit cuz I wanna run 37s:). Please help on if on this kit.

No cutting for suspension install is not going to happen. I have 5" lift x12 -44 equivalent 33x12.50x22 and rub cab side fender pretty good at max lock. 6" lift MIGHT give you clearance but I can't say for certain. With price out of the question most would steer you towards FTS or BDS...one thing you have to consider on the lift is if it increases the track width. There is no way x12s will work on 6" lift if you go with a lift that increases track width

Thanks for the reply! While cost is not an object, I do not want to pay more for the same or less. At first, I was kind of scared of the RCX, but they have a lift that does not use knuckles. They say the 7" will clear the 33 x 12.5. They said it would clear a 35 if I was not using the 12" wide rims. Any thoughts on a smooth ride shock?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
