I want to spend money on suspension but no idea what to do
I thought the RC was a 5" lift and you could either crank it down to 4" or add in the add-a-leaf up to 6"? A true 4" lift could be cranked down to 3" and I'm not sure the RCX 4" can do that. I could be wrong.- ShaneM

Haha, okay. I appreciate the tough love. I think I missed the point on your previous post, which I just went back and re-read. I appreciate the continued responses; I just want to make sure I'm considering all valid options and understanding the pros/cons. A truck lift was never something I'd...- ShaneM

I have no idea why it rides so rough. I've owned these trucks before but completely stock, not ones cranked up 1.25" and 20/33 tires.- ShaneM

Also, maybe this is a dumb question but since I'm only cranked 1.25" in front, how much will it help the ride if I just get new shocks and keep the torsion key where it is, and add a 1" block in the rear? I'm fine with the current ride height, I prefer it closer to stock. The angles look fine...- ShaneM

I want to spend money on suspension but no idea what to do
Wow guys thanks for all your thoughts, that is exactly what I needed to hear. So you've sold me on 4". I was kind of hesitating about the RCX kits because I wanted to get better shocks and I didn't want to waste money on the kit shocks. This is the only Zone lift kit I could find, and I...- ShaneM

Yeah, the price is really trivial between the two and you get a lot more in the 4" kit, plus as you said the angles are a lot better. So did you just toss the shocks that came with the 4" kit or did you piecemeal the 4" lift and selected the 9000s?- ShaneM

99 Tahoe 2-door Z-71 4WD. Tires 305/55R20 (comes out to 33.2", works with a little cutting) with about 1.25" torsion key lift in front. 188K miles on the body. The suspension is stock. Other than the suspension and paint, everything has been redone on the truck. It rides horribly, and don't...- ShaneM

Over at F150 forums there is a thread about the inner wheel wells, cleaning vs black spray paint vs spray on liner be custom liners. I haven’t seen a similar discussion here but I’ve been considering paint it. Any suggestions? for reference...- ShaneM

120 mph cluster and fog light switches
Side note, but to swap the odometers in a cluster do you need to remove the needles? -
How To: Install 130mph Police Cluster, Swap Odometer, & Swap Step Motors
I am playing around with my new Z56 cluster and can confirm the Tach, speedo and shift selection indicator don't work without the wire fix. However, semi dumb question but I'm pretty sure the lead on the STS shown in the first post doesn't need to be there. It could be anywhere on the common...- ShaneM

Air Bag System write up (short)
first you said ABS and obviously that was a mistake and you updated to airbag. I guess that could still be true, I am not sure I ever saw airbag light on the old cluster even at start. 6 times seems excessive for “everything is okay” ...- ShaneM

lol! Yes it is! Not burned out but never turned off - part of the reason I swapped in the first place. Thank you!- ShaneM

What is this harness above my steering column encased in foam?
Gotta be fog. I have rear glass release and rear wiper, but blank for a 3rd switch. No fog switch and extra harness. I have some extra wiring here so I may cut this off entirely and get rid of the bulk ...- ShaneM
