Didn't think I'd have to specify that. Guess you know what they say about assuming. Anyways love the lift on the rst package. Thanks for all the information here

I picked up mine today after lift and headliner install. Very happy with the lift. Not happy they didn't give me the parts they swapped out. Anyone else have this issue?

550$ installed in Knoxville, TN. Ride is very good. I would say very comparable to stock height ride. Mine is a RST if it makes a difference. I do have a few pics if you would like to see it

Looks nice, did you give them a 1” rear block to use? Or did you stick with 2”?

yeah very nice....sure it looks taller in person....you have Z71 so you already had other ranchos...are you going to do anything on front or just leave it be?

2" in the rear. I've decided to leave it alone. It don't look as raked as I thought it would. I love it. Got the kit on eBay btw. For under 1k$ delivered.

The suspension just feels a little bit more firm but nothing to complain about. It has the 2" in the rear. I don't think it looks all that raked so I'm just gonna leave it. Check eBay for the best price. I think mine was under 1000$ delivered

Cool, yea I was thinking the same thing. That’s why I thought you installed the 1” block.

I had planned on it. But it honestly looks great to me. Others may disagree.

I like the rake or at least some....where did you buy from?

 

they are hard to find on ebay if you don't use right titile….I have found them but some want $200 shipping and others want tax or both which either way bumps it pretty much to retail.....is there no tax Knoxville?

 

its hard to find all kits for sale in same page as the title has to be different to get them up on ebay

 

I saw one for $560 for 2WD and that was by far cheapest 2WD kit I saw by hundreds, I don't think they are selling 4WD though

I was thinking of using Eibach spring instead of my stock spring, because their spring adds 1" of lift all by itself on their kit....one way to eliminate the puck and gain a hair more in front......it should work and if it does, think it would be great option

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
