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.

So did the kit come in? I still haven't gotten around to ordering mine. Mainly b/c it's really hot here and I don't wanna install it in the heat. :D

I just installed this kit on my 2018 regular cab 2wd. Took me all day Saturday and some of Sunday but I took my time doing it. I’m using both spacers on front

Yup. The kit arrived last Friday. It's also been well over 100° here too so it will be a couple weeks until I can get to it. The arms are really well done and the lower arms are really beefy. I can't

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 adjust

I can't put pics in using this phone app but if you go to my gallery I think I put a pic in there. If not I'll add a pic here when I get to a PC. In about an hour.

Added the pic above. I'll be getting the rest of it unpacked this weekend and itemized for install.

Nice! Are they painted silver? Hard to tell in the photo.

I'm assuming they come with instructions. Wondering how good those are. I've heard the McGaughy ones are pretty bad.

I think they're powder coated silver or primered. Hard to tell. Debating on painting them black. There are no instructions but overall it's a pretty easy process. Plus Inez said to contact him at any time if I need help or have any problems.

It's a shame they don't come with instructions. Although I'm sure it's pretty straightforward, sometimes there are tips/tricks to this stuff that they probably know that we don't (if we haven't done this before.)

Wondering if it's just primer to keep them from rusting, although powder coating would be a plus.

I've lowered and lifted all of my own vehicles so it's not that big of a deal for me. I can see it being an issue for someone who has never done this kind of thing before though.

Same, but with this being my daily, I would like to try to be ahead of any issues. Seems like installation instructions would help with that.

Forgot about this thread. Here you go! I'm running it at 4/6 but may drop 1 shim for a 5/6. Running a 305/40/22 tire I also need to do a slight roll on my rear fenders.

Overall I am really happy with this kit and the guys at IHC. Highly recommended IMO.

My opinion is dont get it   its a copy of the djm kit which sucks

 

Secondly, if you look at the dodge kit. It says 4/6.  I've owned a dodge      tbeyre saying their kit can go a 4/6 no notch.  Well they're wrong. Anyone that puts a 4/6 drop on a dodge needs a notch.  So someone that tells you that I wouldn't trust 

 

Tbey also copied the mcg helper bag kit.  

 

How low would you want to go?

Because most people think a lowered truck should ride like shit.   Plus inez nor djm accounted for moving the wheel forward

Thanks for the reply Nasty. 2/4 or maybe 3/5 for now. I don't want to c notch the frame just yet since i still use it for going fishing and every now and then moving my welder. But i would like to go to bags eventully

      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.
