    5/7 drop 2007-2014

    You might have to try one of the off brands on eBay. Someone said the good brands are a little stiffer so I’d try something cheap first and the bag should help stiffen it up

    5/7 drop 2007-2014

    Yup. Run a helper bag in them though because they have a softer spring rate. Air Lift 60742 is the part number for a 6” drop spring

    5/7 drop 2007-2014

    You don’t need to tub the rear unless you’re running a 10” wide wheel with a giant tire. chrome is a 28x10 +15 and it hit on the outside, not the inside. Also had 26’s with a 295/30/26 and it didn’t rub at all.

    5/7 drop 2007-2014

    Despite what everyone who’s never done it has said, 5/7 drop is extremely simple aside from the c-notch part Front there’s a ton of ways to achieve 5” Belltech drop struts flipped to the bottom of the control arm with stock spring, DJM upper arms and drop spindles is what I did with zero...

    I gave up trying to help people. Everyone seems to know better than the guy who’s done it all

    GM 6L80 Transmission Information Thread

    @NickTransmissions my 2008 6l80e operates perfectly when the trans temp is under 150°. The second temps on the gauge go over 150, I lose reverse, and 3rd and 5th gear slips like the truck is in neutral. As soon as they drop back below 150°, everything returns back to shifting smooth and all...

    Random no hear front and rear

    Temps dropped about 30° overnight (12° this morning) and suddenly I have no heat front or rear. Any ideas on what would cause this? Coolant level is fine. It’s very confusing that both worked last night and now this morning neither front or back work

    26x10 or 26x10.5 on lowered suburban. What offset/et

    In my opinion, if you’re ordering something custom, I’d go like 35mm up front and like 30mm in the rear. That also depends on how small of a tire you can run This is a x10 13mm offset with a 275/25/28 just for reference. The fronts would stick out way past the stock fender

    26x10 or 26x10.5 on lowered suburban. What offset/et

    This is with a 295/30/26. Front fenders are pulled. Rears have the fender lip cut off. Not sure how much you’re lowered but this is pretty much the extreme as far as static with big wheels goes. Wheels hit the firewall pretty hard and made it a nightmare to make even somewhat tight turns

    26x10 or 26x10.5 on lowered suburban. What offset/et

    On stock suspension, any x10 should be fine. 10.5 might be okay in the back with a smaller tire. If you’re lowered more than like 3/4, you’ll most likely get into rubbing issues up front This is a 26x10 +31 with a 305/30/26

    Belltech Shock Replacement

    You are going to spend BIG money on something that rides only marginally better than those. How are you lowered up front? If you took out any rings, you could flip the strut to the bottom of the control arm and add rings back to get shock travel

    Lowest static GM suv

    Scored a 08 Escalade about a year ago. Rebuilt the engine and put the PPV brakes on it. Been dying to pick up something that gets better MPG but the wife doesn’t like driving in small cars so I’m just sticking this out for now

    Lowest static GM suv

    Nope no real updates. Bought 28’s, they didn’t fit, and I sold the truck

    Time for a c-notch

    I got it from 992dr. Definitely hit him up for some

    Headlight mystery help

    If I have another issue and messing with the fuses doesn’t fix it, I’m going to switch to LED’s and run all new wiring to a different switch. I’m back to working 60 hour weeks so I really don’t have time to keep pulling the bumper and messing with chasing down electrical issues
