    I like helping people out,so On my 19' z71, (classic)Canadian version, so 18' body. I had a 2" and now a 3" motofab front 2¼ rear blocks. YOU WILL NEED UPPER CONTROL ARMS. And diff drop spacers. The angles are way to much. I do have a few videos on this. 1500km and the 3" caused my factory ball joints to work themselves out ⅛ out.

    • @throwarod7549
      @throwarod7549 4 роки тому

      Anything higher than 2.5 you will need to modify a lot of your suspension components. At this point, I would recommend a full Coilover suspension vs spacers

    • @Average_D
      @Average_D 4 роки тому

      Anything under 3” for a spacer lift keeps the suspension geometry well within factory geometry allowances. 3” and up is too much for a spacer lift and would absolutely require UCAs and possibly a differential spacer. I have a 2019 LT z71 and just ordered the 2.5” front/ 2” Rear kit. If you look at the GM performance lift that comes from the factory on the Trail Boss, there are no modifications other than strut spacers and shocks or shock extenders and the geometry angles are fine. Don’t get me wrong, UCAs would definitely help preserve the upper ball joint, but is not necessary and differential drops are a bit of an overkill for a sub 3” lift. In your case maybe not, but then why spend all the money trying to sort it out when you can install a 4” lift with UCAs and diff drops included? To each his own I guess. I had a 2017 Lt1500 with the same 2.5” lift and had zero joint or CV damage for over 36k miles. Would you still be able to clear your wheels and tires if you dropped the top spacer down to 2” or 2.5”? That would be my suggestion from personal experience.

    • @letterphase
      @letterphase 4 роки тому

      Mine is a 2wd, which is 1.5” lower than 4x4 in front. Does that mean I can afford to go with 3” spacer? I’m not sure if Upper control arms are same on both 2wd & 4wd. And any different between this style spacer and the C shape spacer?

    • @Average_D
      @Average_D 4 роки тому

      Hugo Arreguin raising your front end with a spacer lift would be the same as on a 4x4 model. 3” is 3” over stock geometry. I always recommend keeping any spacer style lift 2.5” or less. 2” is really the ideal amount of lift before you start to really stress your suspension components. That being said, even at 2” it’s best to run the spacers with new shocks and Upper control arms. Or at least just UCA’s to correct the ball joint angles
