Thank you!  That's exactly what I'm going for.  I installed 1.75" BORA hub adapter/wheel spacers today and got a little rubbing to deal with.  Here's updated pics.

305? Are they 33 or 35 /12.50? Do they rub and/or have spacers? Looks great!


I just took off a set of 305/45r22’s and replace with stock tires and 20’s. 305’s rubbed sway bar at full lock and especially in reverse.

Looks great man. Gonna show this set up to a buddy of mine. We'll just finish installing the skid plate and gibson exhaust on his Wrangler project and we'll start planning the lift for his Silverado. Readylift seems a great choice.

Thanks man! So far I really like this setup, rides really well and gives the truck just the look I was going for, and it gets rid of the stamped steel upper control arms.

Sharp truck!  Curious if you put any lift blocks or add a leafs in the rear?  From the pic, it looks like a slight rake, which I like.

No sir, haven’t installed anything in the back, the picture I posted is a bit deceiving because of the angle. From the measurements I took the truck actually sits dead-nut level, and a 6ft level confirms that in multiple positions on the truck. I haven’t towed a trailer with it yet, but worry that it will be nose high with a heavy load. I am considering adding a block to get a small 3/4 - 1” rake out of it, hoping that will be enough to be level when towing.

I really like how the ride changed over stock with this system, takes bumps and washboard dirt roads much better, no more wincing going over that type of stuff, you still feel it, but the shock/spring system seems to damper the driver felt impact.

Thanks for the info!  Been really looking hard into that Eibach kit.  Between that one and the Halo Boss Kit for me right now.  Sure do like the price point on the Eibachs as compared to the Halos though.  Just wondering if the Eibach kit would be too hard of a ride.  I do a lot of highway miles and off road/farm riding as well.   Trying to find the right balance.

Installed Daystar Urethane leveling spacers this morning. I didn’t want aluminum spacers as I’ve read about creeking during turns. One of the local 4x4 shops here only installs the urethane spacers because they “just don’t get any returning customer issues when they use them”. The kit was $60 and I had all the tools already (much to my dismay)..

 

The kit requires cutting the factory studs and threading on stud extensions.. (locktite, washers, new nuts) everything needed for the install is included.

I am glad to see someone else with the factory 17's  I have the same rims and will eventually go with the same tire size from my 265/70/17.  I like more rubber!  :)  I'm not into the skinny tire revolution.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
