I put these big boogers on, and Goodridge hoses (it’s been a two day affair… maybe three- I work slow). Had to shave the ridge a smidge to clear my rolling stock.

My driveway was sad when I scratched this one… :-( But that was before I shaved the ridge, so it got some touch up paint. Driveway is happier now.

Nice!! What's the number on the Goodridge lines used??

I used 14175. My rig is a stock 02 Suburban Z71, and I feel like I should’ve gotten the 2” longer version (I think they would be 14175-2).
The four corners seem ok. Not much slack at all in the front. But, the rear center hose seemed fairly tight. I had one wheel on the ground and one in the air when I installed, so that may be why it seemed tight. But, if your rear ended gets flexed on technical trails, it would likely produce a similar effect, and the hose may get strained.
Also- the little ferrule that goes in the top connection of the center rear hose, I super glued it to the inside of the hose end. Otherwise it would be nearly impossible to install and ensure it stays in the proper place.

Waiting on a new ac line, things been on jackstands for a few days while I sort out the ac issues. I need to get it fixed, I keep buying more parts for it just because it looks so sad.

Here's to hoping it runs out of sadness before you run out of money...

got my hoe back. seems they replaced a ground. what said and what the receipt says anyways. he was not giving up the ancient Chinese secret lol but he was pretty busy.

i did have em give the front end a once over. like i thought before i asked him. it needs some help. pitman arm, idler arm, d/s outer tie rod. once i replace them parts its new tires and alignment time.

Well… scope creep is real. This has gone from recharging the AC to compressor spreading shrapnel through the system to not being able to flush the rear because there’s an expansion valve in the rear evaporator. Which led to having to replace the rear refrigerant lines because they’re seized to that evaporator and then “ since I’m there” the rear evaporator, replacing the front heater hoses and tees at the firewall, the rear quick connects…then new front inner fender liners because mine are cut up from running the 26’s…pretty sure I’m about $1000 in but haven’t tallied it up yet because I’m not done yet.

Washed my baby and installed these guys. Took all of 5 minutes to install on all 5 doors. Love how clean and bright these are compared to the OEM. More money out the door, but not too much, well worth it. Thank you @Rocket Man for posting these replacement.

They are a nice upgrade for sure.

Bulb just went out on the front passenger side. No sense in putting another old and dim bulb in again... I'll be getting these soon.

Does yours have lights in the 2nd row doors? My '04 LT has reflectors.

I doubt both sides would be burnt out, so from the looks of it... The rear doors on my 04 Z71 are only reflectors.

Finally got my old droopy headliner out and it rewrapped in black. Just put back in. Looks good imho.

The little finger dimples in the picture smoothed out overnight. Installing alone had me finger punching the liner while installing.

Weakened suction from a vacuum cleaner hose can be used to gently pull out any remaining dents. A soft brush attachment usually works well.

Thanks. The heat overnight already smoothed it back out. It’s got fresh backing so it’s super soft.

Started my Big Brake upgrade with Power Stop kit (from a 2008) and new GM OEM rubber hoses. I broke 3 bolts (2 on one side and 1 one other that hold down brake hose) and drivers side hose might be permanently rusted to hard line. So i might have to repair last few inches of the hard brake line. Ill be drilling and tapping upper control arm and both knuckles, *@$&*@×&!!! Is the control arm hold down bolt same size as the knuckle hold down bolt?

Tightened up the steering gearbox two full turns. We went all the way to 3.25 turns but that was way too tight. Happy with it now!

Installed another heater hose today after a parts delivery and got the OEM tees in, pressure tested the system. No leaks. Now waiting on the new rear ac refrigerant lines to be delivered. Finally stopped buying more parts. I think.
