Finally got it done. Way happier. Front struts on the second from the bottom; 2" rear block with shock extensions.    17x8.5 wheels 285/75 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

I just had mine installed Monday and am thoroughly happy with the results. I went with the second groove for the strut and installed a 2” block in the rear. Rides great!! Will get a better picture lat

Got the kit installed today. I opted for the 1.9” lift setting (2nd clip from the bottom). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Just had my Eibach kit installed today. Running Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/55R20 on stocks wheels. First impression is a good one... handles bumps very well but need to drive more and break them in to get a good feel.

Here’s a few more pics in better light.

Bottom setting just to level. The springs give about 2” of lift by themselves.

How much total lift would you say?

I would say about 1.8-2”. They are adjustable up to about 3” I believe.

This is super nice. This is the way I’ll go when I’m ready to level. Surprised there isn’t more info on the web about this kit for the Silverado.

 Just my personal Eibach testimony.  
 I ran this same Eibach Kit (frt & rr) but for my Tundra TRD that I just traded in on my Z-71.  We set the Eibach coil-overs at the 2nd from the top and it was a little stiff over the Bilstein 5100 (adjustable height) but I had ZERO issues with them unlike the 5100.  I’ve run Eibach suspensions on my Fx-4 with 265k and my Tundra TRD and I’ve never had any issue from any of the Eibach suspension components I’ve run.  I’ve just this week pick up my Z-71 but I imagine I’ll be adding an Eibach kit to it soon enough. Good luck??

Haha we have identical style. What bars are those? N-Fab RKR? I've been going back and forth on committing to those for six months...any more pics?

I have to agree with you, the quality for the price is pretty good. Performance is still great on my set with 15k miles and 2 off-road camping trips. The finish on the shock body is holding up great. The best part is the way they make the truck handle. Way more zoom zoom on the corners now.

The steps are from Go Rihno. I would prefer to run some tight rock sliders but my wife has a hard time climbing in so it’s a compromise.

Anyone with this Eibach Pro Truck lift on the new ‘19/‘20 have concerns about needing to replace UCAs along with the kit?  Keep hearing about UCA failure even with small 2” or less levels.

The Trail Boss lift is a 2" lift.  The stock UCA's are designed to work in conjunction with 2" lifts so no worries there at all.

Those are some of the least offensive steps I have seen. I have also been wanting sliders but haven't found a single shop doing them since I got my truck in March....which is also white, completely debadged, and on bronze 17s. If you ever stumble on some rock sliders feel free to try and remember to post for me back here, hahah

Installed Eibach pro lift, like  Ryan stated much better "planted feel" , 3000 miles on Rancho's,  got soft. Still has rake, looking at new wheels and tires next. Couldn't space Trail Boss shocks just to level. Angles on UCA are not bad, but I will replace soon. Thanks Ryan.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
