Black Betty 2018 Z71 Silverado....build

Thanks for the clarity. Couldn't recall the exact bolt size so didn't want to guess. Yes, should have just said 3/8" thick.

Just wanted to be sure we were gonna use both metric and SAE.

That baffles me as well.

I’ve scolded engineers that work for me when they use both metric and SAE hardware on a machine. The best is when a young engineer calls for a tapped hole on a round spacer for a M6 bolt (10mm wrench) and then put 3/8” wrench flats on the spacer.

Material is SAE cuz you can’t buy metric material. Hardware is metric cuz that’s just they way it should be.

Oh I get it, you were pointing to the bolt, not the bar! Ha! That’s funny right there.

Yes, one metric nut/ bolt, and one SAE, please and thanks.

This way you can't ever mix them up...

Installed a Cold Air Inductions intake, was pretty easy it did need a little minor modifying to meet my needs, the kit was $400 I think it's a little overpriced but overall a nice kit it did come with some factory style connector tubes for the PCV system

No problem. I fail to see how a CAI can affect the air emissions of a truck but whatever, California.

I'm pretty sure it's 100% about money/fee's/B.S.

besides it doesn't even have to be smoged for another 50 months, but I hear they get you on the registration cost anyway

so the Hellwig adjustable brackets came in and gave me about 1/2" movement which helped a bit, then I went ahead and drilled new holes in the lower control arm, broke a bit and needed a bigger drill but easy peasy, the heavy duty mevotech bushings are much much better and the bolt just happened to be the same length and the mevotech end links come with additional inner metal sleeves so I used those and the shorter middle sleeve that came with the lowering kit, now I have a much better angle and the bushings are not ****-eyed anymore, so I'm happy as long as it doesn't bend of break on me
