    Rc silverado front lift and skyjacker rear lift coils

    Reinforced the forward upper control arm mount on the passenger side. the side that goes up to the strut mount is 1/8 inch that side I'm leaving alone but the rest of the control arm mount is 1/16 inch plate which had to much flex ability for my liking so welded a piece of 1/8 inch plate over...

    Couple of questions. The brake line bracket on the upper control arm mount that holds where hard line connects to the hoses. Can that be flipped to extend front brake lines down? There's two holes in mount one for bolt and one for a tab on the bracket. I will take a close up picture of that...

    4-6" Lift Cross Member Cut Question

    I have read other threads asking exactly this and the welded plate gives a little extra strength but can be skipped most kits don't have it. If planning to wheel it hard I would get someone to weld it.

    Yeah they are. I wanted lift knuckles to help cv angles with only dropping differential 1 inch and help tie rod angles. front lift is rough country 3.5 inch knuckle lift for 2007-2013 silverado sierra 1500s. They don't sell a knuckle lift for the tahoes and suburbans. Planning to use a truck...

    Lifting 2008 Yukon Denali

    4wd lift kits will work with a awd but you will need to get a different front driveshaft with a double joint for it to work procomp and others sell them. also make sure it's a quality lift that drops the differential proportionately with the lift hight and keeps cv axles at a relatively flat...

    I have not seen anything on spring rates. I wanted to know that too because I haul feed and building materials and pull a car trailer regularly. how do you plan to make them bolt? Would a plate over the top and bottom coil that bolts to spring pads work? I like that idea better than limit...
