Cool guess we have great taste. Haha

 

Your looks great with that lift. I was a little worried if stability control would be affected by a larger lift.

 

And I agree with the front air damn being removed. Have you removed yours yet? Any pics?

 

I would also like to de chrome in the spring when it warms up.

Great taste indeed. lol. I get plenty of stares on the road. I was very surprised when I took my truck which came with the lift for a test drive. No noticeable body roll or other quirky driving habbits with this lift. I'm very happy with it. Sure I have more pic's but I didn't want to clutter up the thread with more of my pic's but since you asked. ;)

So far I have put much darker tint on the windows and am leaning hard towards installing AMP Research step boards. Truck just doesn't look right with the stock boards. I think I will leave some of the chrome. I kind of like it. To many blacked out trucks on the street already imho.

SLT z71 4x4 bone stock.

 

Hey thewhitestallion that's exactly how my truck looked when I bought it. (Except the Z71 sticker on the rear -- mine doesn't have that.) Interior is probably different though, I have the 40/20/40 front seats.

 

Anyway I don't know if you are considering mods, but for what its worth here is my truck now after a 2" RC level, and custom wheels/tires. I also added the GM steps for $500, which was really dumb because that's too much $$ for what you get.

Picked my black AT up back in October. Put a 2.5 RC lift in it shortly after. I'm debating lifting it 6 inches and going with aftermarket wheels and 35's but since I'm on the road a lot I keep going back to just the 2.5 and a set of Toyo MTs on the factory wheels. We'll see what happens in the spring I guess.

She's up to 3700 miles with no real big issues. It did vibrate the first time I drove it, had 12 miles at that point. Had the stealer road force balance the tires then it was all good. Also found that the roof had a bunch of dents a few weeks after delivery, but the dealer took good care of it.

Picture is before the foot of snow we got over the last few days:).

I'm in exact same boat. Drive too much to lift that much. Going 275/65r20 toyo or trail grappler mt tires with my 2.5" rough country leveling kit and calling it a day

GMC Sierra i bought in August just with a RC 2.5 leveling kit and a
truxedo lo pro. Thinking about putting some 275/70/18 tires on there.

Just installed a RetraxOne bed cover on my 2014 A/T. Took off the Retrax stickers, looked dumb with the gold letters. But love the gloss look, it matches the truck perfect. By far the best investment yet!

Thank you, it was the 2.5" rough country. Lifts the front up 2.5" and the rear 1". I think it was about $150. I also have .25" wheel spacers. I'm strongly considering doing the 5" RCX this spring. I will be putting 24" wheels with a tire that measures 33.3". I am waiting to see how it looks with the wheels before I get the 5" kit. Here's the wheels. uhuhaqev.jpg

    • 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. 
    • The average lifespan of automobiles on the road is increasing - here's why
    • Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
