    Regarding the matte silver finish on the Mevotech TTX parts I guess that’s their anti corrosion process called Repel Tek

    Ground Wires

    Very interesting, I am certain the negative battery cable connects to the front of the passenger side head but that isn't illustrated above.

    Farewell lifted Tahoes

    @Actifenpleinair I think so, it is now lower to the ground the wheels are closer to the body. I suspect I picked up at least 1mpg since I removed the lift and wheel spacers.

    Farewell lifted Tahoes

    @Charlie207 I am not sure, how can I check those?

    Does suspension grease expire?

    @Joseph Garcia In contrast, Spohn claims that their delsphere joints are greased from the factory and NEVER need to be greased but they added a zero fitting due to customer backlash about them not being grease able

    Does suspension grease expire?

    @Joseph Garcia That's what I thought but these Mevotech ones say they are greased from the factory but recommend a pump or 2 after installation.

    Does suspension grease expire?

    A few years ago I bought a grease gun and a tube of grease that’s have been sitting for a while. Any problem using it to grease up new ball joints?

    Tire size no rubbing leveled 13 suburban (pics attached)

    @KevOLTZ I ended up going with 275/60/r20 KO2s, they come out to 33 inch x 10.5 so not super wide

    Replaced engine, now no crank no start

    Check the negative battery cable that goes to the front of the passenger side head. If that isn't tighten down well it will cause this

    You'll only rub on the suspension if you change the wheel offset but with a decent amount of trimming and maybe the norcal mod you'll be able to fit those

    Lower Ball Joints Recommendation

    @Trey Hardy I wanted to go with Kryptonite balljoints but because of a few factors I’m opting to replace the whole arm. Since the Moog didn’t last long I’m going to try the TTX arms. The Moog bushings seem good still but I can see bits of rubber coming off

    @jaywestfall Thank you for you input about the Mevotech. I used their upper TTX arms and I was impressed by the packaging but the matte silver finish of the ball joint and hardware is very strange it looks almost aluminum. What's up with that?

    I did end up buying 2 Mevotech TTX arms last night, going to try and cancel the Kryptonite order it seems they are really behind anyways

    @swathdiver I used the Moog CK control arms, the $120 ones from Rock Auto. Same with the rest of my suspension I used the “good” Moog parts and have to replace most of it already. So far the tie rods seems fine.

    Lower Ball Joints Recommendation

    @Doubeleive I hear you, my current arms are only 3-4 years old so I was going to just try and do the ball joints. Now that I'm thinking about it if I did the whole control arm I could leave everything else connected to knuckle without the need to fit a ball joint press in there I can just slide...

    Bought core block

    @lspann3525 That looks good to me, the teeth are large enough that if you did have it 1 tooth off it would not line up at all

    Lower Ball Joints Recommendation

    @Joseph Garcia I just replaced the lower control arms three years ago so I am hoping the bushings are good still. What’s the best way to check lower control arm bushings ?

    Lower Ball Joints Recommendation

    Thanks I bought a set of Kryptonite lower ball joints. Hopefully they last longer than the last set of Moog. I really don't want to have to be redoing my suspension every 3 years.

    Lower Ball Joints Recommendation

    I need to replace my lower ball joints, thinking about going with Kryptonite but can't find any reviews about them. What lower ball joints are you running and how long have you had them installed?

    Rear 3 inch lift spaces for 2011 Chev Sub LTZ with Level ride

    @mike singleton If you want to lift it then you should delete the auto level system. If you like the auto level system you should not lift it.

    Is this normal for a rear diff

    @j91z28d1 Its hard to describe. Kind of like a bit of a wiggle? I think it’s tires. At 75mph it comes and goes
