I assume that's a knuckle lift and with 18" rims you had to run spacers to keep your rims from hitting the UCAs? Nice truck.

 

It is a knuckle lift, but I don't have any spacers... Nothing hitting control arms, no rubbing anywhere. Thanks, I do like the stance. Have some more plans for other changes coming, too.

Word...Doesn't make sense that you (bcbz71) are rubbing the UCA with a 275 unless you have aftermarket UCAs which state not to use stock wheels. Aftermarket UCAs usually need 4.5-5" worth of Backspacing...

 

Long story short it doesn't make sense lol

 

For clarification, my 275 Nittos do not rub but there is very little room between the inside bulge of the rubber and the UCA when at FULL LOCK. When I say full lock, I don't mean turn the steering wheel then get out of your truck and measure. I'm talking about holding it against the stop and putting a bungee on the steering wheel to hold it to measure.

 

I think it could be that my 18" rims keeps the inside tire bulge lower; whereby a 20" rim would push the bulge of the tire higher and above the UCA. 11.5" or wider section width requires spacers or more negative offset rim...at least in 18". I like my rims and I don't like 20s....too street for me, so I'm stuck with a narrower tire or spacers.

Well, it's bad ass. Too tall for my garage or for all the towing I do, but I like to see a clean lifted truck without a bunch of JC Whitney on it!!

Just love how the Stock 20" wheels look on the truck.

I recently made a few changes. Put on an RC 2.5 kit, painted the stock wheels black, and put on some 275/70 Falken Wildpeak's. Nothing too drastic but my wallet told me to hold off on the real lift for a while. The tires actually look a lot better in person, the sidewall knobs barely show up in the pics but they look pretty good in person.

Anyone run the RC 3.5" kit on a '16 truck with the stamped steel control arms? I'm wanting to run this kit on my '17 AT but RC says it wont work with those arms and the CV boot will rub the CA. I want to run this set-up with 295/60/20 on factory wheels.

I'm sure this pic will be disoriented. Anyone know what's up with that? 7.5" rc kit for magneride on 295 60 20 stt pros. 1.75" rear spacers.

Trust me the 295 60 will fit with stock offset but will rub on the uca and the sway bar. Add a spacer to correct that and your rubbing the rear of the fender well hard. With the shape of the wheel wells on this truck it takes more lift than I'm used to using to get the clearance to an acceptable level. I feel like I will have to trim a lot to fit much more than a 35.

I am just about to order that exact same tire. How do you like them? How is the road noise. I'm surprised you are rubbing with a 7.5" lift but I know it's the offset. How big of a wheel spacer are you running to clear the ucas? I'm going to run these on stock 20s with a 3.5" lift.

No I'm sorry if I was hard to understand. I'm not rubbing now on the 295 60 20 but When I go to a 36-37" tire I will most likely have to trim heavily. I didn't like the stt pro at first but I think it was due to the shop overtorquing the lug nuts. Since i have torqued them evenly and installed the hubcentric wheel spacers (a few burnouts didn't hurt either). I love them

Oh ok that's make more since now. Did you have to run the spacers to get these to clear? If so what was rubbing and what size spacer did you have to run? Glad you like the pro. Been trying to decide between them and the Toyo MTs.

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
