    Well, i knew i should have just done it when i did the lift. One pump comes on every time i start and it still sits 1.25 - 1.5 inches lower on that side after its done. I never wanted to deal with the air ride, so i think ill just replace with the 5100s. i have a Mcgaughys 7" lift. It has drop...

    Positive camber problem after lift

    I installed a Mcguaghys 7" on my 2012 suburban recently. After i had an alignment at a shop. A couple weeks later i noticed outside wear on my front tires and then could easily tell it had massive positive camber. Brought it back and they re aligned and said it was out almost 2" on the top on...

    First Oil Change?

    Help with suburban rear lift!

    Installing mcgaughys 7-9 inch. Got the front done, not without issues. To say the directions are lacking is an understatement, plus some things not fitting right. Anyways. Does anyone have any pictures of the rear end lifted? I'm confused on how these lower control arm relocation brackets go...

    ArcticTwist's 2012 Suburban Build

    Dechroming LTZ questions

    2012 LTZ, Mcgaughys 7"

    Picked up a 2012 LTZ suburban. Ive been looking over lifts and was going to go with the fabtech 6" but saw some negatives on drive angles and the rear kit not being that great. Came across the McGaughys 7" kit. I like that its no weld and i dont have to cut up the differential. Anything im going...

    New (to me) 2012 Suburban LTZ

    Just picked up a 2012 LTZ burb in black. Looking to get it lifted pretty quick. Looks like my best option is the fabtech since its made to work with the autoride. Question, it says i may have driveline vibration, and they have a cv kit for it. Is it common to need it? Im hoping not, since thats...
