Fake trail boss lift

[Stiffler]

If I bought bilstien 5100 for a trail boss and add a 2 in rear lift block to the rear wouldn’t that work the same as buy the gm kit? I know the gm kit doesn’t cone with Uca’s.  Has any one done the this setup

Basically that is the same.

 

TrailBoss has longer CV axles but I'm planning on running my stockers until they need replaced, then upgrading to TB units.

I thought about that but people are running 2.5 in leveling kits with no issue. Maybe the new angle would get rid of my axle jingle they don’t have a fix for yet lol

They fixed my axle noise a year ago almost now.  Replaced the stub shaft and seals on that side.  So far, so good.

They won’t replace mine. Told me gm engineers are looking into it per the new tsb

Everybody and their momma has done that setup, or something similar.  Roll with it, its a good setup and you wont be disappointed.

 

However, the axle jingle is a known issue and I would get that fixed before doing any suspension changes.  The suspension has nothing to do with the jingle (your gonna need a new front gear housing) but I wouldn't want to give GM any reason to TRY and deny the repair.

 

See this for the jingle...
