    4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

    Got the new brakes installed today. Took a few miles to break in the AC Delco pads on the coated Duralast rotors. But once they set, they worked great. I did several mixed speed stops and threw in three or four panic stops to break the pads in and the feel got better and better. Added the...

    Adjustable rear control arms.

    I'm willing to blame myself this time, even though I used synthetic grease (not silicone like they recommended)after the factory supplied silicone grease washed out within a few weeks of use. But I also think this may be a case of Spohn not designing the bushings to fit the brackets on the truck...

    Not sure but I'll share the Seller's info from ebay for you guys to look up. They had an excellent rating with tons of transactions, and the wheels got to me pretty quickly in very good packaging. Info coming soon Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Help me find this oil leak please!

    Exactly my thought too. I personally think it was pressure sensor leaking and the shop just didn't have a clue and started replacing parts Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Help me find this oil leak please!

    He had a shop pull the pan and the top end. Hell, they may have replaced the oil pump too iirc Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Oil leak in the back by the oil pan and starter.

    Oil cooler lines at the mating surface with the oil pan are known to fail as well. But that leak is very specific to a general area and won't spray the whole back of the block like the oil pressure sensor will Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

    Still waiting on my new rotors and pads, but the new replica Trail Boss wheels and BFG KO2s look fantastic on my 2010 Tahoe. And plenty of extra space between the outer face of the original caliper and the inner face of the wheel hub and spokes, so I'm confident there won't be any clearance...

    Adjustable rear control arms.

    And yes, the original bushings did have the same grease channels as the new ones Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Adjustable rear control arms.

    These bushings were absolutely trashed and they've only been on my truck for about a year and a half. I'm not blaming Spohn at this point currently, but if these new bushings let go then I'm going to have a serious problem with them. Pics for reference. The carnage is impressive Sent from my...

    Adjustable rear control arms.

    Well, the grease channel experiment for the Spohn bushings is basically a no go as they already come with grease channels. Not sure if the original bushings have these same channels but I'll post pics after I do the swap. I've attached a pic of the new bushings for reference Sent from my...

    Lol, I waited until the very last possible moment so I could do everything at once. Just replaced upper and lower control arms on both sides as well as the hub assemblies. Was going to order regular old direct replacement bullshit until I found this thread. Now I'm blowing money all over the...

    Need some input to ease my worries on a 2008 Tahoe z71

    I have a band type filter wrench and have never had issues with LS equipped trucks. But if you want a real tip for this "problem " then just use the oil filters for the Ford 3.5 liter ecoboost motors in the F150s and full size Transit vans. Same threads on the filter as an LS filter, but the...

    Adjustable rear control arms.

    Here's the broken poly bushings on the Spohn boxed rear non adjustable control arms. Still waiting on the new bushings to arrive to do my grease channel test. I didn't bother checking the panhard bar bushings because I had seen enough carnage and disappointment in one day for these less than two...

    4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

    Ok, so I didn't even need to remove the existing caliper to figure out this wasn't even close to working. My 2010 Tahoe Z71 with the factory 18 inch wheels had about .75 inch clearance between the wheel and original caliper, which is very generous. The original caliper measures approximately 3.5...

    My sig pic is like 10 yrs old lol, so disregard that. I have a 2010 tahoe z71 and 2009 rcsb LT nowadays. Same difference though. Everything was just a simple bolt on. New dual piston calipers, rotors, and pads that I ordered for gmt800 tahoe z71 platform. No difference in removal and...

    I just got the passenger side caliper and my Stoptech ss lines yesterday. Doubt I'll have everything by this weekend but I should be able to mock up what I have and see if my 2010 Z71 18's will clear. Pics to come Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Adjustable rear control arms.

    I plan on taking either a soldering iron or some 12 to 14 gage wire and get it really hot and burn really small grease channels into the surface of the poly bushing to make sure the grease can spread out thoroughly. I have the Spohn panhard bar and the boxed rear lower control arms on my Tahoe...

    Adjustable rear control arms.

    Well, they come pre-lubed, but that worthless gunk washed out within a month. So I used the synthetic mobil 1 red grease, which isn't silicone from what I can tell, but it is synthetic. The bushings have actually broken in half on my rear lower control arm. I ordered a bunch of new ones from...

    Control arms and ball joints advice

    The Moog CK upper arms are beefier than stock GM arms. Only issue with Moog is their packaging sucks and shit can go missing or zercs get damaged because they don't protect the ballpoint spindles or zerc fittings. The spindles cut through the boxes and your hardware bag can fall out during...

    Adjustable rear control arms.

    The Spohn's are simple to install and come set to factory spec. You would only be able to adjust your pinion angle though. Caster is not adjustable here. The poly bushings on mine have failed after less than 2 yrs, and yes I kept them lubed. Haven't done any four wheeling either. The delrin...
