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

The shackles Nastu sent you are the 1" lift shackles right?

Need a picture of how close the bolt is to the mount on 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

With the inez shackle can you get a measurment? Bottom of frame to axle bump pad

Yup, will do

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
