New compressor and bags...easier with suspension hanging free?
for me, the only reason to raise the rear end up is so my fat àss can fit under there. No need to hang the rear axle loose for shocks or compressor. I’ve actually changed the compressor with all four wheels on the driveway.- wjburken

What brand name oil
Welcome to the forum from Iowa. Might do a quick search here. I’m sure you’ll find more information and opinions than you ever thought you would need.

2013 ssv suspension help

2013 ssv suspension help

Figure the control arms, based on what I see on RockAuto for GM original, will be around $275 each for the lowers and $160 each for the...- wjburken

Longer Front Shocks
How long are the extenders? That should give you an idea how much “lift” is there due to cranking the keys. I’ve never seen just cranking the stock keys giving much more than 2”, but I can’t say I’ve ever tried to push it. Others may have different experiences.- wjburken

No brakes in truck
When you replaced the master cylinder, did you do a bench bleed? Did you bleed the system at all four corners? Why did you replace the master cylinder in the first place? If you have a leak, you will get air into the system at that point. JB Weld won’t hold the pressures your brake lines are...- wjburken
