Hey guys,

 

New to the forum and am looking to drop my 2014 SLT 4x4, found this kit and emailed them. They said it would work, does anyone have any experience with this company?

IMHO trucks go up and cars go down... Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

 

Lol, I appreciate the opinion. Mines different I like to park in parkades, I like my dogs to be able to jump in the truck not be lifted and I like to not have my trucks height associated with my manhood lol

I know a few guys with the McG kits on GMT-800 and GMT-900 trucks. They haven't had an issue

Yah I love that look! R/c doesn't have a kit for the 4x4 yet. Tried asking them if they were getting it but they haven't replied and it's been a week.

 

I'd like to see a 3/5 drop but I think it's going to be too much...

It will look good lowered. Lol'd at the comments of some in this thread.

I agree, I don't understand why some people don't like lowered trucks. As long as there not slammed on 30 inch rims and they're still driveable and can tow why not? To each there own I suppose. I like lowered, lifted, and stock trucks. They're all pretty bad if you ask me. :cool:

I would lower mine if I didn't have to tow a large trailer. I like lowered 2wd's with tasteful wheels

I would drop a 2wd or AWD, as long as Im not gonna use it for towing. That would be my "go fast" truck, like a 2wd SS with a blower or turbo'd 6.0

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
