Does any one on the forum run the Kryptonite stage 3 leveling kit with fox shocks? If so what is your opinion on the kit. Good buy or waste of money?

My truck is a 2018 silverado custom double cab. 4.3 V6

I was seriously considering that kit.  Seemed like a good kit and the price seemed reasonable.  Then I decided I wanted adjustable ride height shocks.  The ones in that kit are not adjustable on the truck.  You need to go up one more level in the Fox lineup for on truck adjustables.

 

Sorry, that was wrong.  I looked at the package again, and they are the IFP shocks, so they are ajustable on the truck.  Those shock go $490 each and the rears are $170 each and the arms are $500 for a pair if you buy it all separate, so $1820 total.  That makes $1700 for get package pretty good.  It would cost an extra $420 on top of the individual prices to go up to the 2.5 coil overs.

Heads up you'll need spacers or new wheels with their UCA's. Their rep recommended 4.5in of backspacing to me. Ride and look great

I can confirm this. I did a 2.5” level and Kryptonite control arms and the stock wheels rub the control arm at about half lock of the wheel.

What wheel size and offset did you go with on your truck or did you go with the spacers?

I went from stock 18s to XD844 Pikes at 20x9 0 offset. Just ordered some small spacers for the front. I feel like the wheels might touch the arms at full lock at certain angles. If I had to do it over I'd go with the Readylift UCA's and tap grease zerks into the bushing housings

For those that had rub with stock wheels, were they the 18" or the 20" wheels?  Maybe it doesn't matter, but just curious.

My stock were 18s, but considering I still have slight rub on 20s with 0 offset I guarantee stock 20s will have major rubbing

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
