Did you use your stock U bolts or get new ones?

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.

Good evening Gentleman. Long time lurker, first time poster. I bought my 2016 LT CC in June of 2016. I'm currently stuck between a 2.25" procomp leveling kit or the 4" procomp lift. I'm looking at running at 20x10 -24 offset wheel on 33s. Not sure of a tire yet. Does anyone know if this will rub? I'm okay with trimming the front valance some but really not comfortable with the idea of metal trimming. If I need to go down to a 20x9 0 offset without having too many issues so be it. I'm willing to compromise...to an extent lol. Thanks ahead of time!

Yeah true. Not a fan of all that either. I've decided on the motofab 2.5" front kit but I'm going back and forth between the 1" and 2" blocks to go in the rear. Do you have any pics of your setup?

2.5 is a great safe bet for sure, and will Look awesome. Not sure if all factory blocks are 1.25, but mine were. 2.25 left me with about 1 inch of rake.

 

These are some pics I could dig up real quick. Hope this helps!

Thanks man! I'm running 33x12.50r20. I have a slight rub on the UCA at around 85%+ lock due to the width of the tires.

 

Planned on an 11.5 or so inch wide tire, but got an absolute steal on these

My buddy ordered it for me when he was ordering his kit. I think he called in cause it wasn't on their website.

Good Looking truck for sure man! How'd you black out your ambers in the front?

 

Also, do you happen to have fender height measurements? Yours looks about the same height as mine, but i've got 2.5 front and 1 rear

 

EDIT - sorry, quoted the wrong post and dont know how to delete hahah

Front is at 39 and rear at 39.5. Ride is a better than the stock Rancho

So through all the pages of this thread I know some guys are running the 2.5" front with a 3" block. What is your rake like? Pictures would be great!

Here's another one with 2.5" front and 3" rear with 305/55R20's. I got my 3" from RC and the ubolts had to be purchased separately.

 

Part #'s:

 

9/16-inch Square U-bolts (2.5 x 10.5)

I have a difference of almost 1" at the rear fenders.

Driver side fenders are 37 1/4" front and 38 3/4" in the rear; 1.5" difference.

 

Passenger side fenders are 37 3/8" front and 37 7/8" in the rear; 0.5"

 

This is after I just put Bilstein 5100s at the highest setting on the front and no change to the back.

 

I know the rake in these trucks aren't always consistent but has anyone seen the difference of almost 1" in the rear? Do you think my rear passenger shock is shot causing the 1" sag? Seems weird to me at only 20,000 miles but they are the stock shocks on an LT.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      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.
