Lol none of that i have. But youre def right im sure itd save me a lot in the long run for things that are DIY doable/fixable. At the same time I always worry about things that arent 100% cosmetic that are done outside of a business in case something happens ya know.

 

Yep used to be there, I just started turning wrenches in high school on my Camaro nearly 10 years ago. My dad was a Machine Repairman so I had some backup when needed. Its a great feeling though doing that stuff yourself and growing skills. I highly recommend it, if you were local Id lend a hand. Might be able to find another local member.

 

If you cant, buying the level yourself and just showing up/calling around to local mom and pop shops may get you a better install price.

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

This is my plan. Have been calling around and so far between local shops, chains, and custom shops theyre saying around 450-550.

 

I got a cpl more places to get ahold of though.

 

 

1 question i do have is .. whats the difference between RC and Pro Comp besides the $100 proce differencr. Is Pro Comp or any higher priced brand a better quality?

For that price I'd do the Bilstein 5100 shocks and level it that way.

Never seen pro comp but over 100 for a spacer and bolts seems nuts. I'd look at motofabs kit. 50 bucks for lower spacer and solid aluminum. Instructions were good as well.

 

I'm amazed they charge that much, you could probably drive to me for less haha. Should try to find a local member willing to help and buy him a case of beer.

Just got a call back from the shop down the street from my work, asking 365 for labor/alignment. Much better than the $500 places.

I'm confused is this for a leveling kit?

Nice. Did you do anything to the rear?

Nope not at all. Just the front plastic bottom mount spacer from rough country. Sits much better than it did before.

Ok cool i dont think i wanna do anything to the back if i dont have to so thats why i asked. Thanks for the reply

 

 

I wonder why I paid so little on my installation? I seriously paid $150 for it.

Guess really just depends where you live. Montana, especially where I live is expensive. I have found a shop for $300 though so thats better. Id love to find somewhere for 150 even 250, but i think 300 is cheapest ill find and i dont have any friends that could do it

Debating whether to go with RC level kit or bilstein ride height adjustable. Is there a big difference in handle either way I go to justify the extra expense of the bilstein shocks?

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
