I was able to get mine aligned back to factory specs 

I'm curious if many TB/AT4s were able to achieve factory alignment specs. No matter where the 2" is placed I don't see why it should matter. I'd prefer to not disassemble the strut.

Can't tell if your trying to be a comedian here or if your serious?  It wasn't really very funny and it didn't really make any sense!  If you don't care about this topic, don't follow along.

To me 2" is 2" no matter how you get it. Wether you put it on the top, bottom or middle it still increases the cv and ball joint angles. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

That is good news! Although yours is a HC; I still lean towards the motofab 1.5" as you and many TB/AT4 owners have done so.  It may now have the rough country extra camber spacer but then again its half inch less therefore less stress on the cv angles.

Same here. The 1.5" is easier to install and should avoid having to change the blocks in the rear as well, as those with AT4/TB achieve a level appearance with the motofab 1.5......2 will probably give a nose high look and stretch the cv angles/ball joints more.

Question for all of you who have installed the 1.5 motofab. I just bought one since motofab now has a TB/AT4 listed on the site. For installation did you need to take all of the steps on their video as far as disconnecting everything to get the space for install. I've seen some videos online where people have done it after getting the truck high enough in the air. Planning to install tonight and get my 35 12.50 18 Ridge Grapplers installed tomorrow, then alignment Saturday morning.

I did all of the steps listed except loosing the top bolts and removing tie rod. Installation was ok....would’ve been easier talking the top bolts loose.

Had it done in about an hour and 15 min without using air tools.

I did all of the steps except loosening the top of the struts on my Trail Boss.

Any of you have any concerns of premature wear on the ball joints? I purchased a 1.5 inch motofab for my truck but haven't put it on yet because of this concern.

Was going to install mine last night but it's arriving late. Tires just showed up though. Gonna go get them mounted. Hopefully it'll be in the mailbox this afternoon and I'll get it on tonight. So I can get my alignment in the am.

Finished everything up. Had to make my appointment for the alignment next Friday due to shipment delays. 1.5 motofab & 35 12.50 18 Ridge Grapplers with 2" Bora spacers.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
