Marv88 2016 Silverado LS Regular Cab 5.3L

Thanks Grumpy. I had it done at the dealership but I think I'll take it to the tire/suspension shop in town to see what they say as I don't know enough to insist on something specific.

Get a before and after printout. Look at the last few post in my build thread to see what the Hunter reports looks like. Grumpy Bears 2015 Silverado 2WD Start getting a feel for what changes do what and how it feels driving. I'm very happy with mine.

Still needs more low

Yeah I know and it will get there!

Marv if I read right you currently have a 3.25" back half drop, right? Did we adjust the pinion angle? If not, any vibration issues? Thanks. I really love this current stance.

Marv88 · April 4, 2017

That is correct Grumpy and I was told I shouldn't have to adjust the pinion angle with that small amount of lowering however I did end up with a low speed vibration that was cured with 2 degree wedges. I like the amount of rake I have right now but I do want to go a bit lower.

Well based on the photo's on page one the wife green lighted the project for my truck so...THANKS!

Glad your wife approves and you're welcome! My wife thought I was nuts when I started modifying a brand new truck but now she likes most of what I have done!

Finally got around to installing the BedRug kit (actually its just sitting in there). Biggest benefit I have found so far is it no longer hurts my knees when I have to crawl around inside the bed however after a week the imprints from my hand truck are still clearly visible.

I wanted to get one but my problem is my cover leaks. It's a tonnopro loroll. It was cheap and the rug out of my 95 is prettymusty. Does your cover leak at all? I had good luck with the tri-roll from tonno pro but like the bed rails being visable

We had torrential rains the night I put the cover on and not a drop of water got inside the bed as I had read which is the main reason I wanted this type. Drag is there are 2 locks and you have to open the cover to open the tailgate which has quickly become tiresome so I am now considering a tri fold cover if I can find one that doesn't leak.
