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.

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Atlas · Posted

      If one can't be found, a good automotive upholstery shop should be able to replace/sew in a new panel where the damage is on the old cover. It might not be the cheapest option..

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Does your dealer charge you for the tire rotation on top of the oil change price ?. I haven't had any service work done at my dealer yet other than when I brought it back soon after owning it to have the front end aligned to correct the steering wheel being off center a bit. Oh they called me at least twice hounding me to bring it in for an oil change and pushing a 300.00 package of oil change and tire rotation and whatever other quick simplistic checks they would do. Only going off of what a friend gets charged for his half ton for the basic oil change and its the same amount of oil as the L8T holds, it was about 150.00. Once one buys a set of tires from most shops these days or so I believe, they will do free tire rotations and some do free tire balancing as well as free tire repairs.    Certainly doing a tire rotation is no five minute job, and definitely not at home but because I run a set of winter tires on their own wheels, I swap them at home and its a one tire at a time deal because of the tire season swap although I jack up the rear and do it and drop it back down and then raise the front and do them and coordinate the tire rotation into that process for both sets of tires. I am using a floor jack though and if I need to raise both ends at once I use a couple sets of jack stands to have all four tires off the ground. I use either an air impact or battery impact and have electric impact as well so no shortage there of easy methods to spin the lug nuts, and then retorquing the lug nuts. None of it goes quick though but my wages are cheap though ... zero. I live an hour out of town, its easier just to do things like that myself than waste a bunch of time in town and having to make an appointment and probably a special trip and sit there at the tire shop waiting for them to get my vehicle in and get it done and not screw something up in the process.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.

      Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like

      Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost.
