What have you done to your K2 today?

Console, aux switches and made a relay panel thanks to Phil for the console harness

Do you have a write up you referenced to make that panel? I'd also like to add aux switches with the auxiliary battery install im planning

This is what I referenced. The switches are ground controlling. Power is pulled from the battery into a breaker then small fuse box I got off amazon. Ground comes from the switch to trigger the relay. Then output goes to light, etc.

Static or a notch in the back?

inez 4/6 kit, the front has there control arms and stock strut/shock, rear has the driveline moved above the leaf springs on blocks, there shorter shock's and wireless airlift bags, with 5 psi it sits at 32" at all 4 corners, bump stop delete, no notch. I usually run it with 10 psi just so it doesn't bottom out as much. when I bought it the previous owner had installed it or had it installed I had to fix a couple things the parking brake cable is a little issue it runs right where the airbags are and was rubbing on the bags so I adjusted it as much as I could and zip tied it, bottomed it out one day on a speed bump and smashed a abs sensor cable replaced that and got those out of way, just little stuff. drives good but I wouldn't mind the rear riding a little better without having to air it up

Get a longer shock! With a shock mount extender.

that's one thing I was considering, maybe some bilstein 4600's? think a extender would allow for a full size shock? or maybe some adjustable ones?

What do you have connected to the relays?

I’m lowered 3.5” with regular size Bilstein 4600. Using one of these https://www.ebay.com/itm/324145065900

is that smaller bolt on the tongue some kind of adjuster for it?

Right now just a light bar behind my grille and honestly don’t know if I’ll ever use the others but they are there if I need them.

You gotta drill into the stock shock mount. It’ll prevent the extender to move up and down.

Have you measured your drive line angle while you have air in the bags (where you normally drive)?

 

You may be in specs when it is at it's lowest point, but go out when you raise the truck to drive. The vibration I had reminds me of a happy dog doing a "whole body wag" when it sees you.

no I haven't, I guess I could try driving with the air at different settings and see if it makes any difference, this whole truck vibrates I guess I need to turn the stereo down also the dam 6X9 in the doors vibrate the doors also so I get vibration from everywhere lol, seems like sometimes I only feel it at about 90mph, I will try it tomorrow with the air at different levels since it does move it a few inches

when you have a minute could you measure the distance from the top shock bolt to the bottom shock bolt with it sitting level on the ground, I want to see if those extenders will work for me or if I need to find longer ones, just at your leisure, thank you
