Do they make them for the different arms? Because these trucks come with 3 different arms

Posted (edited)

That doesn't matter if you replace the control arms, right? This kit uses the factory spindle and new control arms.

Never ran across this kit in my searching. I'm looking at the McNaughy's 4/6 deluxe bu tI like the point he made about running out of alignment room.

 

$650 +shipping is a decent price for an adjustable drop.

I agree on both points, Goinovr. Just wish someone had experience with their setup. Pretty sure I'm just gonna order it to check it out. It's only money and time, right?!

Damn. If I was local I'd have that shop he listed (Luckys Suspension Works) do it. $800+tax out the door is an awesome price. Shops around me want an extra grand to install a kit they already over price.

I might have to change my mind as well and hit them up. We'll see what happens in a couple weeks.

Does anyone sell a kit to lower the front 1" ? don't want 2" think it will be to drastic. Had 2" in my

51 and had to remove because it was too low.

Yes it matters because the spindle mount holes are different

Nice! I haven't had time to call them back about the differences in the control arms. I have the cast steel ones.

 

Also haven't decided if I'm just going to do the 3/5 or go w/the kit you have. They said the 4/6 is more like a 4.5/6.5 on a CC, so 3/5 might be just right for 24's on 295/35's.

 

Are you going to have it installed or do it yourself?

I plan on doing this as well. I spoke with him through facebook messenger. I am in the process of getting my wheels and tires first. I want to do it all at once.

I'll be installing it myself. I'm running 22's with 305/45's so I have a little more room for that half inch.

 

I have the cast arms as well. When I called to order he asked which arms I had.

    • if you want a short turning radius get a short bed Colorado!
    • that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.    
    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
