    I’d like to add its picture too to my signature along with the 2 others but I don’t think @theblur is still around.

    Cracked dash solution

    “probably not too difficult “ Let me know how that works out. I started with 2 completely different bezels and cut them in half, plastic welded them together, and used a plastic filler to finish it with. They’re pretty complicated pieces with complex curves and attachment points. It was...

    I believe rust has more to do with how many miles of salt or brine the vehicle travels through than anything else. If we see any rust on vehicles here its because they came from where salt is used and where the is a lot of snow or icy roads.

    Actually,no. That’s not what comes up; Belltech says the only kit for my truck is the 4957 which comes with offset bushings and bolts and is 3x more $. But in the pictures you can see it uses the same adjustment plates. You’re saying the 4951 kit works, I know who I believe. I’ll order that one...

    Thanks, that also answers another question I had- do I need to do anything extra to install the belltech kit. I’ll need to elongate those or have the alignment shop do it. The place I’m taking it does all kinds of custom work like this, especially for the 4 wheel guys. I might have them do it...

    I believe I’m going to need some extra adjustment in my camber adjustment plates after lowering mine. It looks like Belltech makes one that allows for 3* of adjustment but looks like it doesn’t come with bolts and it’s about $140. Does anybody have experience with any kits like this for lowered...

    I decided I’m done trying to work on my trucks on my POS driveway. It’s been a mess ever since I bought this house. I’ve just been reluctant to spend the money on a new one but doing this work on the Tahoe and the work I did on The Beast has made up my mind. Rolling a floor jack around on this...

    Only if you’re good with making a custom plastic bezel out of 2 different ones and plastic repair bondo. I put an Esky cluster in my Silverado.

    You must mean the lower control arms? I think someone put a floor jack under them and jacked the truck off the ground.There was no other damage around them, so they didn’t bounce over some concrete barrier or anything. It’s all I can think of. I ordered some Energy Suspension, shortest they...

    In the last few days I replaced the rear control arms, upper and lower. The left lower bushings fell out of it when I removed it, if that says anything about the condition of them. And it looked like someone jacked the truck up by the lower arms, they were badly bent. Also installed a set of...

    I’ve used one to cut thin metal with and even then they’re slow. This metal is about 1/8” thick. It would take forever and tons of blades I think.

    I think it’s around 4/6 like someone said. That’s just the free travel mod, it was hitting metal to metal with the springs I put in, and the new ones were 1” shorter so it would have been hitting more.

    Well everything was installed except the front sway bar. I got that done this morning with the same issue with the bolts on the bushing clamps; 2 of them I was able to get out with a lot of soaking but 2 broke off. I drilled and tapped the frame for 2 ARP bolts and I was able to mount it back...

    Got everything installed. The only issues I had was the holes in the new sway bar weren’t drilled big enough so I had to fight a big ass drill to ream them out, and the 2 bolts on the left sway bar bushing bracket broke off in the frame even though I soaked them first. That was fine. That needed...

    Parts ready to install. I bought Moog rear control arms. The OE ones on it have some bushing damage. The adjustable panhard bar is a Spohn knockoff. I went with the Nolathane sway bars due to the positive feedback here. They’re beefy enough. :happy107:

    It needs an alignment after lowering it, the camber is off yes. She drives awesome though and I have done 4 different lowering options, 2 different front heights and 2 different rear heights. I wanted to get it exactly where I wanted it before having it aligned. It’s there now so I can get that...

    I finished the free travel mod and cut down the ride height sensor rods 1/4” since as I recall it’s 1/4” per inch of lift or drop. I started it up and the compressor ran forever and it raised the rear a full inch from where it sits with the bags deflated. The rods can’t be any shorter or they...

    Yesterday I had my TURBT operation on my bladder and prostate. He found zero cancer, just a couple areas he wanted to biopsy, and then he biopsied my prostate. Those results aren’t in yet but the initial impression is the best possible outcome. Both types are gone. And there’s been no sign of...

    It looks like the service 4WD messsge was the switch needed to be exercised a few times and switch between the modes a few times, and now the message is staying off.

    Oh and the Boost Auto auto fog light mod is simple to install. Just follow the instructions on which wires to tap into on the BCM. This turns on the fogs when the headlights are on when in “auto” mode. Which is where I leave mine set. I like it. It’s probably just a diode heat shrunk with a...

    I read that sometimes the transfer case actuator gets some issue that can be solved by a hard reset and that disconnecting the battery for a half hour will do that. I did that this morning and afterwards started it up. Same message “service 4WD” so I figured it didn’t work. It’s been doing it...

    Differential girdle install clearance issues with panhard bar.

    I don’t see the product listed anymore, maybe it’s not available. I did a search and found that Spohn Performance makes one though. funny thing is, I can only find it on Jegs and not Spohn’s website. It’s part number GMSUV-107R and should provide the clearance you need. Here’s a link. Edit...
