I always do it as you have described and have an alignment appointment set up for the next day.
The unknown part is im putting RC upper control arms on it.

Been wondering about that sensor.
The only reason I have not replaced it is that the headlights do work automatically, leading me to think the sensor works as it should.

I was wrong… It’s a mod

(How to:) 07 Tahoe Gauge backlighting on all the time

Thanks to Fiatdale, I was able to keep my gauge lighting on all the time while the vehicle is running. It drove me nuts for years that the gauges could hardly be seen during the day. I think GM realized this and changed it for the 08'+. It is a very easy mod and took about 20 minutes. See...

Haven't read the whole thread but if you figured out the dim dash gauges issue please let me know.

Dang it, discovered today my left rear airbag on the shock is leaking air through the rubber boot. Had not planned on replacing them but now I guess I'm going to

@SpareParts I installed those RC control arms in 2020 and uninstalled them last year because I developed play in the upper balljoints. I enjoyed them but I ended up lowering and had no need to put new balljoints in them but I understand they use a moog joint and there should be many options for replacement

Ball joints are my only concern with the RC UCA arms.
I do use my vehicles in the mountains and could use the added height, so I won't be lowering it.
I plan on this being my forever rig so might as well fix it up the best I can before I retire in a couple more months.
