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

      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.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
