Yeah not always, but it was safer this way.

 

But mine did end up with the same length of reveal on the slip yoke, so it worked out ok. When I pull it to balance it, I'll likely remove an inch and have the perches in the flip kit drilled to re-center it.

 

That's if I keep the truck. I'm vastly unimpressed with the stuff that gm does these days. I can fix it all with enough $ thrown at it, but damn. GM does not use their head for shit.

I love my truck. I wouldn't change a thing besides the uca mounts

And maxtrac, belltech and mcg all move the axle.back. they are all pretty much the same. I just prefer mcg products

Do I have this right flip kit only is 7", flip kit and hanger (stock shackle) 5/6", flip kit hanger and drop shackle 3/4"?

I'm thinking I want to be around 4", possibly 5.

Love my truck too, are the uca's a common problem on these? I just had one replaced on mine under warranty a couple days before putting in the drop shocks haha

For the flip kit question yes.

 

As for the other part. It's not a problem into you go past 4 inches of drop or so. Because the wheel doesn't center in the wheel well and it looks restarted. The only way to fix it somewhat is the mmw arms which are 1k

Is there any 2/4 kits for a 4wd? I've looked but everything seems to be for 2wd only.. 14 sierra with cast steel front suspension

The rivets need to come out and the new ones bolt in place.

It's adjustable. From 4 to 6. You want 4. It can be set at 4

Yea that's true.. Didn't realize how much work it was for that kit, not bad though... And i guess the shackles just allow you to go even lower?

The shackles raise it to 4 or 5 because of the lift hanger which flips the shackle

4" is nothing on a k2. I used my regular cab with a 4/7 drop to tow the wife's chevelle once and it was fine. You wanting a 4? You'll be just fine. These trucks are high as hell stock anyway

      wipers come on randomly

      By newdude · Posted

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.

      Gas Prices

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....

      If we're talking futures, yes, it's speculation.   The spot price of a delivered barrel is elevated now compared to before the conflict. And that is related more to current supply/demand.
