Oh he will definetely tell you theyre better. We have talked about the djm arms before

Plus i pull djm and inez off arms local trucks all the time. Poor design

Those are also affecting your caster and steering. Twisted arm kit is the way to go for sure. If i was going any lower id do it. But im over being that low now. Especially here in califirnia the roads arent low friendly

Mississippi roads are also garbage. People see my truck and instantly think it probably rises terrible. The ones who actually get to ride in it can’t believe how good it rides, but I tell all that ask. You get what you pay for. I could be on full air for what I have tied up in my drop, but it rides amazing. It’s a long way from cut coils and shackle/hanger combos that everyone did when we were teenagers.

Correct. You did good for sure. But your caster is still affected pretty greatly. Thats all im saying. If it works for you then perfect. But most people dont want to tub and do all that work. Just like me

Im going to be installing my twisted coilover kit in place of the droo strut. And im orfering the new twisted upper arm (which moves the wheels forward and corrects some caster) im also lowering it another half inch.

The wheel not being centered bugs me on mine.

Jumping in on this, I have the drop spindles for a 2"ish front drop and my wheels have moved back quite a bit compared to stock and I rub because of it.  Will the Twisted upper control arms take care of this issue and center the wheel?

Its stock.  I had an Inez arm in there but it moved the wheel even farther back.  I put the stock arm back on and added the spindle.  Closer to center by a little bit but the above is what I have with just the spindle.

Very strange. The twisted upper arm will help correct that

Truck is stock height but rear blocks removed was wondering how low the front drops by moving the struts to the bottom of the control arm

Sounds like I'll be putting in an order soon then.  When they did the alignment post spindle install the mechanic said that the upper arm was maxed out in terms of centering and showed me where the arm had been shifted.  Forgive any terminology inaccuracies.

I'm not really concerned about the load on the bolts I have some fairly heavy duty ones I can use and i see heavy trucks with air ride suspension using bolts for the pivot

Puts more stress on the strut. And itl shove your wheel back far. I fix that all the time for people that want to be cheap

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
