because the lift changes the angle of the uca and the ball joint is at the wrong angle. the new uca the end where the ball joint sits is angled to compensate for this

How much did the control arms run you and lift?

2000$ total for the control arms and Mcguaghys lift, bought the cognito upper control arms from alligator performance and 7-9 Mcgaughys Economy from Grunion Fabrications. Those were the places I found with the best prices

Looks good, I'm in the same boat with the rcx. Mines only the 5 inch kit and is fine for now but I want to run 37s next set of tires and I'm not going to up the rcx to 7.5 lol

Yeah I heard the only real problems are the 7.5 by RCX , ur 5 inch should be good to go, but like u said if u go with a bigger lift for the 37s I would defiantly go with McGaughys.

Sweet truck! You should be their truck mascot, you match their sign perfectly. Lol. Do you have spacers on with the stock rims?

Just went by there today for them to set my front shocks from 7 to 9 and added the AAL to the rear. Now sitting at 12 inches. I told them I would do their advertisement on my truck for free truck parts and they agreed, so will have the same logo as the sign on the back of my truck! And yes I have 2 inch Bora spacers26a6816e9e105ecdb9cf1ceecfd6eb43.jpg

      Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging.

      Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.

      NEW TRUCK

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
