Yeah IHC has a kit. I currently have the drop on my 2020. Also Reklez out of Texas has a kit.

Ride quality is pretty close to stock if I let the air out of the back to much things will get a little bumpy.

Thinking I might get the belltech drop struts up front to get another inch up front and go ahead and notch the rear.

Close to stock, so does it mean that it rides softer or stiffer than stock with the IHC drop kit ? I had 5/7 Belltech and Mcgaughys kit on my last NNBS consisted of spindles, struts, shocks, flip kit and shock extender and it never rode close to stock. Never gonna go with the route of altering struts and coil again. I've heard lowering the front with control arms is the best way of having stock ride feel, till ball joints fail especially within a few 100-1000 miles. I want to do the 3/5 IHC but a little hesitant due to past ride quality.

How deep can you go in the back before a flip kit? Do they make a 3" shackle? I was thinking about 2 inch spindles and shackles in the rear. 2/2, 2/3. I did a 2/4 drop on my 2018 with flip kit and 2" lowering springs, Im wondering if spindles would be a better option?

I'd say a bit stiffer but again when I let to much air out of the helper bags it rides a little bumpy but honestly I can barely tell the difference.

I'm not sure on that. I know if you use the Reklez drop they provide spindles instead of control arms. Here is mine stock on 22s as well.

I want ahead and put the 2" lowering shackles on the back and it set the truck perfectly level empty. After I put in the tonneau cover, decked storage system and loaded it with tools it dropped it another inch and a half so the front end was higher. No airbag manufacturer makes a kit that works on lowered 2019+ trucks so I did the belltech 2 in drop spindles. It sits real nice now with a half inch rake, when I put the race trailer on the back it levels it out and tows like a dream. This thing actually rides and drives better than stock, I'm really impressed. 75e969e98ca58141f36e3d5b6cea6c35.jpg4c8ad40cf4c4b14aee8208b24f37b667.jpg2259b69ed3168032698191af3f9f760e.jpg

By chance u got any more pix on leveled ground? Reason so is that I have lowering shackles set at 2" as well but looking to lower the front a bit for a slight rake. The mid pic makes the ass look a bit higher or it may be the missing fender liner that makes it look the way it does.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      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.
