It's under warranty still. They did question the level, but the guys at the service dept at my dealership are all pretty cool guys. The first time they blamed it on the guys that did my alignment so I went back to them and they couldn't get it to go away. The reason they didn't see it the second time is, for me at least, the truck has to be warm for the clicking to start. Mine doesn't do it when it's cold.

 

Your dealership should take care of it unless they can prove your lift caused it.

I was told it was the gear box by the dealer but then I posted something about it on here and was told the 1500's don't have a gear box. But I guess steering gear is different then gear box. Anywho mines been replaced twice, the second time they didn't want to since it had already been replaced but the noise got worse. They actually jumped in a newer one on the lot and heard the same noise, they said its due to bigger tires. Well finally a third time to the dealer they replaced it, apparently the first manufacturer of the parts weren't very good so they changed manufacturers. So far no issues on the new on and it's been about a month since then.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

Seeing you have had this lift on for several months now can you give your opinion on it ? are you still happy with it. Can you post your fender height? Thanks

I have a RC 2.5 with zone 1.5 body lift. I'm being told now for proper alignment I needed to remove these from the factory. Trucks camber is off. Is that correct. Here's a pic.

Just got mine back from the shop!

 

Rough Country 7.5"

20X9 (+20mm) Fuel Nutz

35X12.50R20 Nitto Trail Grappler

Guess I'll be doing the RC 7.5" cause that looks good!

 

Do you have a total height measurement? Have to fit in a parking garage.

Always remember this. Just because the parking garage says a certain height doesn't mean you'll fit. I found one that said 6'10 and I fit great. Well went to another one in a different city that said 6'10 too and thought yeah ill fit except in this one they didn't take into account the cross beams that support the different levels leaving me no joke .75" to 1" of clearance and some of the signs and exit signs hung lower than that so had to dodge them to avoid ripping them off.

Good point indeed. Garage (airport) I mostly need to fit into is 8'2" which at 98" should be plenty but there are signs that, I'm sure, they didn't account for and I do park in some downtown structure which seem like they are only made for miatas. It's always a good idea to know before a build begins.

I'm getting RC 5 inch lift on my 14 sierra z71. I like my oem 18s with my 275/65/18 that only have about 350 miles on them. Will this setup look ok. I'm assuming I'll need spacers.

Also keep in mind any gates. School garage has a gate that folds as it raises to form an Upside down L, I have a good 8" of clearance everywhere except under that thing. I have to hang wide so it doesn't smack up my xm antenna. It already hit it once (first time I went under it) and left white paint all over one side [emoji19]

yes, you will need to remove the white plastic piece in order move the cam bolt. this will move the upper control arm in or out to adjust camber. be careful not wrench too hard, the pressed in pin that it rides along can come loose very easily. i already had to weld mine back in place.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
