    Installing 3 Inch Diff Drop

    I recently took my Tahoe to an alignment shop and I was told it was lifted in correctly. I do have my keys cranked quite a bit to clear my wheels, and I have bigger CVs to handle the angle and forged RC 2-3 inch upper control arms (only works on 2-3 inch lift kits), but my lowers and tie rods...

    Looking to rebuild the entire front end on my 92 C1500 because everything is shot (steering, ride quality, etc.) The steering is so bad as a matter of fact that with the truck jacked up, key unlocked, the wheel is crazy hard to turn (almost as if the tires are on the ground!) Not to mention...

    Upper control arm contacting frame (stop)

    When I had the driver’s side front tire/wheel off yesterday to clean the wheel, I noticed that the upper control arm was contacting the frame (stop). I did not take a photo then, but I did take one now with the wheel/tire on and the weight of the truck on the tire. If that point of contact was...

    Different control arms?

    I picked up a 1988 Chevy K1500 Silverado Sportside that needs work.

Went to test fit the new upper control arm and no go! The forward bushing...

I'll be using the ACDelco 45G15393 Professional Leaf Spring Bushings. I just wanted to confirm if they'll work for the shackles as...

    To powdercoat or not to powdercoat??

    With the whole front end off of my truck, I have been considering having the stamped 4x4 lower control arms powdercoated at a local shop. When I called and asked, they said parts have to be squeaky clean and brought in just to get a ballpark estimate on cost. Which I do kind of understand but...

    1.25” rotors to 1” conversion

    So in a regretful decision made in haste I ordered the 1” Light Duty rotor version of dropped spindles from McGaughys for my 1998 Sierra Extended cab. Sending back the spindles is not an option. What all do I need to do to make these spindles work? TIA.

    New Leaf Springs?

    It looks like one of my leaf springs is sagging, a newbie here so want some confirmation. A year ago or so I got a 1994 K1500 ECSB. The previous owner appears to have cranked up the bars in front and leveled the truck out. For me, 25 years later, this caused any sort of weight in the back to...
