When I have a day off work I need to scour this thread for photos of 2/4 drops. That is my next big project. Probably do wheels at the same time.

 

Here's two pics of mine when it was 2/4 to help you out, one with 18s, one with 22s

Love it. Z28 replicas? If so where did you get them? They are at the top of my list for wheels.

Thanks TWill - Love the way your truck looks! Looks like I can't buy anything anyway - Nothing for sale on McGaughys site - and no one else seems to have any stock until next month... wonder what's up with that

Thanks man you can also go to switch suspension they carry the spindles you need.

I’ve had the ihc shackles on for a little over a week now they don’t rub. They did squeak at 1st but I loosened them up a little and they seem good now so far. 

 

Thanks to nasty for hooking me up with them

Yep, they're replicas of the M228 wheel for the Z28 and MRR makes them: https://www.mrrwheels.com/products/t228

 

As far as online suppliers, carid.com and elementwheels.com both sell them. If you have a Discount Tire around, they can order these wheels though they don't show up on the website, even when searching by wheels size instead of what fits the truck. I just ordered a set through them and can't wait to put them on the truck!

I still haven’t noticed it rubbing 

Perfect, I have a set sitting at my US postal box ready for pick up for my brother's truck we just finished yesterday...

 

2016 SLE 5.3 2WD 

 

Belltech 2" spindles (Part # 2514) 

Belltech 2" strut (Part # 25004) - 10mm spacer on DF - no spacer on PF to counter for "Chevy Lean" 

McG 7" flip kit (Part # 34147)

Belltech rear shocks (Part # 2214FF)

Belltech 2 degree pinion shims 

 

285/40R22 Nitto 420S - No rubbing until you are at full lock you get some contact on the front fender liner - very livable. 

 

Camber came in at -1.1 on both sides which is more than ok.

 

3" 7/8 of drop in the front.

7" 3/4 of drop in the rear.

 

Now I knew we'd end up with roughly 1/8-1/4" of cali lean but he's got an extremely heavy tonneau cover so once it's removed and the 1" IHC lift shackle is in we should be a nice height in the rear as we are currently riding on bump stops - That being said it's rides really well. The McG bump stops are quite long but fairly soft so they seem to be helping with cushioning the rear

Fender to centre of wheel measurements of the truck above if anyone is interested...

 

LF - 17"             RF - 16" 7/8 
LR - 16" 3/4      RR - 16" 3/4

 

1" IHC lift shackle will aid a lot - He's looking into doing a mini C notch or helper bags. We can't get over how heavy the tonneau cover is lol

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
