I took off my 2" Rough Country lower strut kit and installed the 2.5" motofab upper which was a pain in the a&$ doing by myself.  I also installed a 1" block in the back awhile back.  Here are some after pics finally.  

 

 

Shouldve waited til I washed it but you cant see the dirt lol thats why I got a white truck.

Why did you remove the rough country lower strut kit? I ask because I am looking into doing the same to my RST and was looking at the lower strut kit from rough country for the easy install.

 

Looks great BTW. Kinda wishing I had gone white but went with satin steel metallic myself.

I tried the motofab 1.5" front lower shock spacer and it pushed the shock against the cv boot.  Seems like some  trucks rub and others don't.

The lower kit is real close to CV axle and also wanted the extra .5" after adding 1" in the back.  My next color choice was satin steel metallic.

What was the difference between the front and back height from the factory? My 2020 RST seems to only have a 1 inch drop in the front. (From the ground to the top of the fender is 37.5" front and 38.5" rear) I was considering going with the 2 inch Ready Lift in the front and a 1 inch block in the rear to keep it level. It seems like the rake seems to differ from truck to truck.

I didnt take a measurement when it was stock.  But it was .5" higher in back with the 2" rough country in front and 1" block in back.  Havent measured difference with the 2.5" motofab kit.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.
