Mine did the exact same thing before I rebuilt the front end. I put it in reverse a few days ago and floored it and both sides made the popping noise terribly loud. Torsion bar crossmember bushings looked fine. Haven’t looked into body bushings but they’re not rotted off or anything
Did that from the start. everything was torqued once it was in the ground and moved around some. I’ve redone that a few times. Also tried loosening and tightening more then it should be to see if that helped with the same result
Oops I replaced all of that too. Literally the only things old left on the steering or suspension is the steering box, torsion bars, keys, spindles and steering column. Unless I missed something again lol.

Didn’t replace keys or torsion bars. I had them out obviously when I rebuilt them and saw nothing wrong with them.
It’s 2wd. Lift spindle and hardly any crank on the torsion bars. Stock keys
If I floor my Tahoe from a stop the front end lift and pops. Then if I slam on my brakes hard enough it will pop again. What’s weirder about it is if I floor it and it pops, I can slow down normally with no pop, and floor it again and it won’t pop. I have to hit the brakes hard for it to pop. It...
LOL yes I hate squatted trucks and stretched tires. And yes I had a black Chevy luv with 4x4 graphics. It was originally 4x4 but I built a full chassis for it and put a ls in it.
Finally got the lift on my wife’s 2016 Tahoe. Went with the mcgaughy 7-9” kit. 22x12 fuel tritons with 325/50 nitto ridge grapplers. I set the struts to 8” and still had to do a little work for the tires to not rub at full lock. Definitely just a mall crawler. Only kit in stock anywhere was for...
I did such minimal cranking to the torsion bars and the rear lift spacers didn’t make for a stiffer ride. It rode exactly like stock after it was lifted when I was still running the stock tires and wheels. Super similar with the ridge grapplers. Definitely doesn’t ride rough what so ever. Has...
yep same one. I have two second gen s series. I don’t post on s10forum anymore, just lurk. But I post on IG more.
It’s a great setup for me. I wanted something that sat higher cause when it rains much around my work it floods so I needed something that could get through the water.
rides great. As close to factory as you can get. Ride stayed the same as factory with the minimal cranking I did. Turning radius wasn’t affected at all from what I can tell. Super tight u turns still. Pretty much the only other pics I have of it right now. I did have to do some NorCal mod to the...
3” spindle, tiny bit of crank, and a 3” coil spacer in the rear. Stock front shocks, 3/4 ton Silverado rear shocks. 17x9 -12 offset on 33x12.50. Had to do the fender mod. Rides great.
Anyone have any oem painted flares for sale? Any color as long as they’re already smooth
I just ordered a mcgaughy kit through switch suspension a few days ago and it came in this morning.
Mcgaughy told me there’s about a 2+ month wait on any of their kits for SUV’s unless you find someone that happens to have one on the shelf. So if you order now they will date stamp your order so...
Assuming it’s the same spindle as a Tahoe, they sell a 5” lift spindle for them. You’ll have to look at your control arms to see which spindles you’ll need. If you have aluminum or stamped steel arms you’ll need x spindle. But if you have cast steel arms you’ll need a different part number...
Who all is running lift spindles? Wife has a 2016 2wd and wants it lifted 4+ inches. Wanted to see some pics of some 2wd’s and how much front and rear lift and tire sizes and what brand spindles you used.
Thanks
Thanks. And idk. Everyone's is a little different I suppose. After you cut them, how well do they stay in place? I got the front sitting within 3/16" side to side but the back is 5/8"off side to side. I don't mind it being a little off but 5/8" is a lot. That was at full tank. It's at 1/2 tank...
Yeah I love the height it's at for my setup. I wouldn't want it much lower as id have rubbing issues and with it being the wife's, don't want that.
Thinking about DJM ucas cause that balljoint doesn't looks super happy
Yes the kit rides great. Front drop was as advertised. If I would have bought the kit and running a shorter tire wanting a true 6" rear drop, I would be severely disappointed. Unless it's gonna drop another 1-5/8" when they settle. But I have 110 miles on the kit and the fender measurements are...
