    Budget lift dont wanna spend over 600 how high can I go

    Shoddy body lifts can be dangerous. But of you think about it a body lift leaves the chassis closer to the ground for a lower center of gravity than a suspension lift making for a more stable vehicle, and your suspension geometry remains factory. The unsafe body lift myth is a favorite of...

    New DIY front skidplate and other work

    Today I bought a sheet of thin (maybe 4mm?) aluminum sheet diamond plate and built a new skidplate 16"x17". ALso installed Rancho RS500X shocks. Not really impressed with the shocks, the old one may have been better, bot they are not going back on lol.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Got an alignment yesterday after cranking the torsion bars for a level ride. Rides nice still and has a 5/8" gap at the bumpstop still.

    Um, no. The additive makes it slicker.

    Oh the good old days!

    My dad's 440ci Dodge wagon would. He had 8" wide steel wheels made for it and regularly towed the boat with it. Old glasstron with a crosslet powered bearcat outboard.

    Who's running Brembo brakes?

    This. I just put '09 front brakes on mine with ceramic pads and they're awesome. 1" bigger rotor with larger pistons.

    Rear wheel play in and out - source of clunk?

    I bought my Yukon duragrip on Amazon for like $250 and got a $50 rebate from Yukon. With a $20 Amazon dial indicator it was cheap and easy diy.

    Screaming pterodactyl

    I imagine most of us are driving these big SUVs because we're dad's. We need a dad joke (bad joke) section.

    Rear wheel play in and out - source of clunk?

    Screeching sounds like a non-issue. Clunking sounds like a bad diff. If we could get a vid of the cross pin in it's bore and the spider gears while rocking the drive shaft that would help.

    Rear wheel play in and out - source of clunk?

    If you look at the pictures c-clips you'll see that the wear is near the outer edge. This is the surface that runs against the side gear. The axle runs on the inner edge on the opposite side of the c-clip. Flip the clip and you'll have fresh thrust surfaces running on the hardened side gear and...

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    Mine were also made by Powerstop and sold by ebay seller Brakemotive. Not very happy with the seller and not recomending them. Go to powerstop directly if u can.

    Rear wheel play in and out - source of clunk?

    My gov-loc was working fine, the c-clips were wore from age. Every corner you take puts a load on the c-clips as they are a thrust bearing of sorts. A true track will re-use your old c-clips btw.

    Rear wheel play in and out - source of clunk?

    Probably a worn c- clip. There are three thicknesses available. You might be able to just flip it to swap the thrust surfaces between the side gear and the axleshaft.

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    I must have had some air in my front brakes because the pedal is much firmer than it was with the smaller pistons.

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    I will eventually go full ricer and paint my rear calipers as well. Do you like the Duplicolor paint you used?

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    Luckily the calipers werent powdercoated at the fitting. Installed the brakes in the rain and didn't get any pics. I will bed them in after work, luckily its a short drive to work with few stops. Sadly After 32 Hours I got no response from Brakemotive regarding the missing front pads and bought...

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    $288.46 seemed like a good deal for '09 calipers, ceramic pads, and drilled/slotted rotors. After running them in my GMC Sierra and Camaro I can say they work great and brake fade is no longer an issue. And yes, Red calipers will look nice behind the black wheels. Rear pads didn't arrive with...

    Bose AMP and GM RAP bypass

    Also disregard the light control connection, it was working inversly so it dimmed as the dash lights cam up. You can see how fast you're going or what channel you're on, but not both. I left it disconnected so that the stereo stays bright.
