Throw in 300# of sand in the box, you will get the level you want, cheaper, easier to install, more traction in the winter and it's easily reversible if you don't like the look!  .02$

U-boats are generally torque to yield fastener so you should replace them.     #iworkforGM

I took out the 2" blocks and replaced them with 1" blocks.

The back now sits about 3/4" higher than the front, looks perfect!

Everything still good with your truck? I’m seeing guys posting online about their broken ball joints. Now, they’ve been using the RC level kit but it still worries me because I’ve never lowered the rear. So far so good and all angles look fine. 1,000 miles since I replaced the blocks.

Could of saved money and just bought an LT or LTZ or RST and added 1 inch lift. Why butcher the TB lift? Looks great, but hey, whatever works for you!

I can see if you put the tapered blocks in backwards it would cause excessive stress on the u-joints

Are these 20” wheels?  Are they the original  tires or did you go larger after the lift was installed? I have an RST and am doing the same with the factory TB 2” lift.  Your truck looks great!

Thank you. Wheels and tires are stock (20s). Only has about 500 miles on it. If u add the TB lift to a stock rst that is the final product. I had planned to lower the rear some but I like it the way it is.

I already did the 1” rear blocks on the trail boss now I read somewhere that you might have issues using the 4x4 anybody heard any of these issues I think it was a lift kit it actually says 4x4 could not be used. I’m wondering if lowering it would mess with that too anybody use the 4x4 after lowering the rear with the 1” blocks

For those of you that have replaced the 2" block with 1" block on the Custom or LT Trail Boss....  Now that you've had the lower blocks in for a while, everything still good? Have any of you hauled or towed a heavy load with the lower blocks?  Bottom out any easier with the stock rear shocks and bump stocks?  Thanks!

      72 C10 headers question

      By mighty K20 · Posted

      FYI, I used sq body headers on my 72 and they were a perfect fit with zero clearance issues with the rods and Z bar for the clutch  I agree with post on worn mount rubber

      I do most of my yard work before 10. My summer walks are usually at Kroger’s. Inside and yes I’ll do light shopping. Usually by noon you don’t want to be outside from June to September. The mail box is a good walk. I’ll walk there about 3 times before the mail comes. My house has two floors if I feel I need to move I’ll do the stairs. I’ll walk down the lane to our rent house with clippers trimming branches along the driveway. There’s always something to do.

      There is a sign at my chiropractors office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Sound advice.    On a 65 degree day (F) I can still work pretty darn hard (I'm 72). On a 85 degree day with a good deal of humidity it takes me three days to do what in took at 65 degree in three hours. If I work to muscle exhaustion (back) it will take me days more to recover. Taking breaks to prevent that is most useful. A lift belt has been very useful in preventing both.    Minister was giving a talk the other night where he was speaking of age and he used a clock to illustrate the human lifespan and it's ability to task. 1 to 45 was the second hand, scurry about. 46 to 70 the minute hand. Slower but...71 and up the hour hand...Hummm....until that talk I felt more like the minute hand. 😭   Then he says, the most useful hand on the clock is the hour hand. Without it you can't tell time. (Hour of the watch). I felt a bit better knowing we over 70 are useful. 🥹

      I still do oil changes on our 2 vehicles and my motorcycle. I have a robot mower for the yard but can't use it in my backyard because my wonderful dog keeps digging the guide wire up so I have to push mow it. Not much of a walker especially during the summer, just to hot. I will ride my e-bike almost daily which helps to keep my knees and hips loose and helps with my balance. That's my story an I'll stick with it. We have been in the mid to high 90's with a feel like temp of 105 to 109 for the last month with no rain. We finally got some rain which cooled it off but were still stuck with the humdity. I do pace myself and that's why it takes me 2 days to do something that used to take a couple of hours.   Peace

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      @newdude great info, thank you!   So opening the thermal bypass valve early (or all the time) would cause temperature to rise more slowly, but above 194F there would be no difference from normal operation?   It seems like the only practical ways to bring down the peak temperature would be to improve the oil-air heat exchanger in some way or increase fluid capacity?
