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

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
