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.

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.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
