    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.

    I want to spend money on suspension but no idea what to do

    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...

    I want to spend money on suspension but no idea what to do

    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.

    I want to spend money on suspension but no idea what to do

    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...

    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...

    I want to spend money on suspension but no idea what to do

    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?

    I want to spend money on suspension but no idea what to do

    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...

    Has anyone painted the inner wheel wells, or is there a custom liner you can buy?

    You guys have pics?

    Has anyone painted the inner wheel wells, or is there a custom liner you can buy?

    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...

    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...

    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” ...

    Air Bag System write up (short)

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

    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 ...

    Yeah I have 4wd. Maybe fog lights ...

    What is this harness above my steering column encased in foam?

    I have the tailgate/liftglass. Maybe something else, but clearly not used. Rear light for truck bed?

    Air Bag System write up (short)

    I'm getting 6 blinks of the AirBag light when I start up my 99 Tahoe, only after I put in a new Z56 cluster. I go back to my old cluster, no blinking light. Back again to the new Z56, light blinks 6 times then turns off. Any ideas?

    What is this harness above my steering column encased in foam?

    I was swapping my cluster and this popped out. It looks like it was not used, but it seems weird to be there. I had to tear open this olive-colored foam tape to even get to it. I did a search but didn't find anything. Any help? https://imgur.com/a/y87ZqGl?s=sms

    Custom Dash / Accessories - 3D Printed

    What printers(s) do you have? There are definitely many applications I can personally think of.

    What’s happening with my dash trim?

    Well, I can remove the radio mounting brackets from the radio and there is a little bit of adjustability there, but not a lot. I might need to Dremel out space to bring the bracket more down on the left side, bringing the radio up. But the A/C controls being cut off at the top is also...

    What’s happening with my dash trim?

    I don't think the HVAC control box is crooked. It goes right into position and locks in. I can't push it down or straighten it at all. It's a stock A/C control with obviously stock dash shelf so I'm not sure that is an issue...but I can't tell for sure.

    What’s happening with my dash trim?

    Yes, they are, although they don't grab very well. I think the plastic clips have relaxed over time and they don't spring out as much as they used to. But they are there, and they do grab. The A/C control box itself sits on a shelf that is part of the dash, and as far as I can tell, there is no...

    Okay I’m not surprised. Any specific suggestions for what is good for the double din ?

    What’s happening with my dash trim?

    So I have this weird issue with my radio and AC control and dash kit where things look uneven. It’s as if the dash kit should rotate counter clockwise just a little bit. I took it off and played with the radio and AC control. It all looks right to me. Maybe it’s a crappy dash trim kit? here...
