Removed the factory lift blocks from my Double Cab Sierra. Had WAY too much rake from the factory. I really like the results. Dropped the rear about 1.5" and still gives me enough rake to not squat too far down when towing/hauling. No vibration issues either, aside from what it had from the factory, lol!

Here is some pics of mine after a cleaning 3-5 McGaughys

That is one good looking truck. I've had 3 rc trucks & I really like the look of them lowered. Only thing is a family & rc trucks don't mix.

One of the reasons I got a RC is my daughter was 14 at the time and well... she is fixen to start driving and if we all take a trip it will be in the Wife's Pilot. So I kinda have my toy all to myself unless the wife wants to treat me to Dinner and of course I drive her.

3.5 in the front , flip kit and lift hangers in the rear , which is 5 inches , im about 1.5 inches high in the rear from being level . going to see if it settles any and add some assist bags and bring it down a little more . rides awesome so far . install was a pain in the a%* tho .. I think mcgaughy's needs to work on their instructions a little more and maybe add some pics .

Using Belltech 6401 shackles on a 14 silverado, was there any issue with removing or installing the top bolt do to a weld or something under the bed getting inthe way?? Was it neccessary to lossen the four frame bolts to gain clearance?

I don't remember all the different kits that had a similar issue, but I remember seeing that a lot of people had to hammer fold over part of a weld seam for a clearance issue. It may be those same bolts that you're dealing with. I had a shop lower mine, so I'm not exactly sure if they had to do anything similar. Sorry I can't help more.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
