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 

A notch wont affect hunting or fishing     do it. I even have a notch for sale. Strongest underbed notch made for these trucks modified to be even stronger:)

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

Its just some places for now i need the stock ground clearance. when i do notch the frame ill build it with a 4 link. I think i will have to go search the forum for people who have done the c notch. To see if they have pictures. One of my main worries with the C notch right now. Is removing the bump stops i cant think of hauling my welder with out bump stops. Do you think you could direct me to any links. That with anyone that has C notch the frame?

You realize notches do allow for bump stops right?

I bought my kit back in December of 17 and finally got around to installing it a couple of weeks ago. First impressions of the kit are that it was relatively easy to install. I had issues with the factory passenger knuckle with the upper ball joint not coming loose at all. I tried everything, I ended up having to buy an entirely new knuckle thankfully a stealership had one and it was only $95.  I am dealing with a vibration from the rear and this kit is supposed to be a smooth and easy flip kit. I am not happy about that at all.  I am in contact with the IH for some solutions.

Is that a 6.5' bed... I've read something from IHC that CC with 6.5' beds may experience vibration (can't remember where I read it, FB or a FB message from them). I've seen mostly positive reviews, TWA Motorsports on youtube did a review on the 4/6 (He's running it at 4/7). Said he took it on a 1000 mile road trip and it was the best riding kit he's ever used. He did say he noticed some loss in the turning radius.
My 18' Z71 CCSB doesn't have many options for kits, so this is what I'll probably be going with.

Yes it is a 6.5' bed.  I was told that there wouldn't be an issue. When I was doing my research on the kit I couldn't find any negative reviews and is why I went with the kit. In fact Ivan has been nothing but helpful even sending me new upper arms at no cost when a change was made in their design. I personally love the front part of the kit the ride is smooth and rides like stock.  Apparently the issue is my truck has a 2 piece driveshaft and the carrier bearing needs to move upward. It sounds like this is a known issue and should be something customers need to be made aware of. I am having a shop see if they can work some magic with shims.

Now that I'm thinking about it (and tried to find where I read it) it may not have been IHC who mentioned the possible vibration... It may have been another company's 4/6 drop that I saw that note on... In fact, I'm pretty positive i read it right on the product description section of another kit. But I would think that if the rear drop method is the same, the problem would exist for all kits.

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Post Pics of your "Other" Rides

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
