    Can I level front with bilstein 4600

    Spoke with 2 shops today that said they actually wouldn’t even touch it with the chance of the keys being rusted in. How bad does this rust look? Or is it just surface rust. Also for front end leveling was told that I’d need to change the upper control arms and one shop said he’d just leave it...

    Can I level front with bilstein 4600

    Also is it possible to tell if the torsion bars are cranked from these pics? When I purchased it 7 years ago the guy was running 275/60r20 on it so he might of cranked them before. I’m just not sure how to tell exactly

    Can I level front with bilstein 4600

    Just a lot of misinformation out there even with the seller that I purchased them through. He says 5100 are for lifted vehicles only and will not fit stock height but if I’m understanding correctly 0-2.5 lift means “0” is stock height correct? And I have read that they are the exact same shock...

    Can I level front with bilstein 4600

    Thanks for the responses I’m starting to think I might of made a mistake and just went with the 5100 series since they make them to be fitted from 0-2.5 lift so even at stick height they would have worked and would have had the option to level later or now. I could still return the 4600...

    What to do with the roof of my 2003 Tahoe

    I just realized my roof is horrible but the rest of the body is clean. How bad is my roof and what is the best approach? Anything that can be done as diy or too far gone? I honestly won’t have the time or place to sand it down and much prepping. Can you just simply use some spray on it? What...

    Need help to set suspension for LT285/17R17

    Thanks for the response So maybe I should get the bilstein 4600 and leveling keys from the get go and be safe along with the other suspension parts. I do plan to keep it for a while. Or the 5100 if those have a better purpose for me I’m going to look for an AC Delco kit for these trucks...

    Stupid question but how do you adjust these rubber stoppers? Mine will not move at all by hand I just had the HD hood swapped today and it didn’t line up correctly but also my oem hood was not lined up correctly either. Actually the HD hood is not as bad as a gap I’m trying to figure out if...

    Hood Insulation

    Same question pretty much. I just bought an HD hood for my 04 Z71 and it came without insulation. Will it actually ruin your paint or any other negative affects? How has it held up for those that ran without the insulation for a long period time? Thanks

    Window switch or motor with video

    I had the alternator replaced a couple of days ago due to a bad diode and now the window has been rolling up and down fine. Do you guys think it’s safe to say that was the problem? I’m just paranoid about rolling it down now and it not going back up

    Window switch or motor with video

    I’m Sheesh that looks like a tough job for someone like myself that is not so mechanically inclined and good with tools. How much do you think an independent shop would charge for this job?

    Replacement Ignition Key

    Would it be ok to make a copy of the copied key? I believe I have lost the original as I haven’t been able to find it for over a week. I’m hoping the only copy I have is cut good enough to make another copy. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the original key to make a copy correct?
