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

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
