Black Betty 2018 Z71 Silverado....build

I don't know about the spindles, but those are definitely drop arms. Shorter sway bar end links, too. Looks like they at least didn't cheap out on the drop so that kinda tells you the PO cared. You can sell/trade off the drop parts to put it back to stock and/or a little higher and it won't cost you anything but your time and an alignment. The helper bags could just be to keep it from bottoming out when loaded. I doubt they'd go so far as to pull a leaf to drop it.

Coincidentally, I was behind a truck today with a Carven sticker on the back glass, so I rolled the windows down to hear t when the light changed. No idea what model of Carven, but it had a pretty nice sound to it. Definitely didn't have the cheap redneck Flowmaster noise. It's cool that it already has at least one mod on your list.

I'm betting those wires feed an HID or LED headlight relay harness.

I guess since it is dropped may as well roll with it for now and shop for some wheels/tires at some point in the near future.

ordered the 4g/gps module for coming alarm system and 2 spare keys since it only came with 1



and won a oem 220a alternator out of a 3500, this part should work but is experimental at this point has the same pulley and connector, hopefully it will work

Sweet! Plug-and-play (theoretically) 220A alt for $100!

ya the guy had listed it like 6 times at auction originally at $125 then he dropped it to $100 and it still hadn't sold so I messaged him and said I would take it for the $100 if he ended the auction in my favor, pretty good deal rockauto wanted like $225, a comparable mechman is $400, it's the same design as the mechman so hopefully it's a win/win

Hey! Loved that sound on my Buicks! LOL

See if that VXDIAG thing talks to it too. Might be able to use it to program tires and keys, etc.

You asked me if it looked lowered and I didn't think so, thought it was the wheels and tires and longer bed, sorry. How's she drive? Happy with it?

it drives good, I have to get used to the turn radius being a bit different went to park at wally world and suddenly realized she doesn't have the same radius as the yukon or the 03 lol
I noticed there is what sounds like a small backfire when it kicks into drive when accelerating not sure if it is actually backfiring or if it is the flap (if it has one) in the exhaust pipe I have read about before that some have modified so still some homework to do.
probably going to have to upgrade the sway bar/s I noticed when I had to make a sharp quick turn that she dips a little more than I am used to so I will be addressing that
stereo needs a upgrade stock radio just doesn't do it for me
I am going to jack it up in a little bit and poke around underneath and swap a couple 22" wheels off of the 03 and see how it looks
