    added pic on the RC D ring lower bracket that goes in the frame. had to cut out the lower corner of the RC mount to clear when installed as i had to mount them upside down so they would stick up instead of down to line up with the opening as the 3 inch body lift raised the hook hole 3 inches...

    So i took a week now off back at it. I finished the RC front 3,5 susp lift install. i did the back last week. It was easy they provide upper control arms and new loaded struts. I changed the lower ball joints while in there. The provided spacers to lower the front diff was not a big deal and...

    Power step question. 07-14 vs 15-20

    Pete i missed your post. Your right two different part numbers for AMP steps. I see RC uses magnetic stick Ons to trigger operation so i figure it's a bit independent from body control etc. so they might work. Also, i slid under my wife's 2020 Tahoe and from what i see the rockers look the same...

    Michael (Pete the pug) I like you we think alike. Maybe once it gets close well look at a ring mount and belt fed on the roof. Tomorrow i plan on getting the rear bumper close and moving on to the front. My brains working on a concealed winch behind the bumper and some D rings for tie downs...
