Look how they massacred my boy...Now what to do about it?

4+1 for me plus a 2 inch block. Cleaned everything thing up and used new bushings on the rear when I did my lift. They were pretty well shot and I can see that allowing the leaf packs to move forward and aft a bit which can allow the axle to shift changing the thrust angle as I understand. This was a comment on an alignment sheet back a couple years.

If they can identify that there is play I don't think it would be too tough for them figure out where it's coming from. Bushings or loose u bolts should be pretty evident.

Most half ton trucks have a 4 over 1, 3/4 is 5 over 1 usually.
Also, most lifts came with a minimal lift block, and an add-a-leaf.

It's more likely the installer didnt ram the u-bolts balls tight.

The lift in my truck didn't have an add a leaf, I still havnt gotten the truck back (tomorrow I believe) but I'll check the number of leafs.

So you got an extra leaf with your kit?

Regular half tons are 3+1, heavy half/light 3/4 is 4+1, real 3/4 and some/most SRW 1 ton are 5+1, and some(?) SRW 1 ton and all dually are 5+1 with an upper. Not counting C&C or HD.

No extra leaf just blocks. The 4+1 looks to be from the factory. Maybe part of the tow pkg? Or otherwise added at some point before I got it.

Hi it may be a silly question but what are the factory settings for tahoe/suburban on standard 4x4 suspension-96-98. I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Have you checked the '98 factory service manuals? I bet it's in there somewhere.

xAFNYx I'm still curious as to why you have that transfer case skid plate dropped. Do you have your truck back yet to take pics of that?​

No, hopefully i get it back today. And I thought we solved that, The lift we have requires you drop the diff.
