i just bothers me because i have a weird sound coming from my psg and im almost 90% sure that its my cv axle binding up when going over dips in the road. but since getting it aligned today its gotten a little better. when i jack the truck up and let the suspension drop, i can spind the driver side wheel but i cant spin the psg side. but if i jack the psg control arm up 1/2" i can spin the wheel fine. i dunno if im missing something or what. im a licensed lic mechanic and having a troubles figuring this one out.

 

check your tbar cross member possibly one of the mounts are shot

its a common problem on these trucks

you just need to crawl under and see if it has play

 

hmmmm...........maybe i shall check them out as i did just have the whole suspension apart and i did question those bushings. but when calling around to local part stores no one carried them or had a clue wtf i was talking about lol. when you say play in cross member which way do you think the pay would be up/down side to side. cuz i have play front to back but the way the top bushings are designed it looks like that would be normal. tho i dont know much about these trucks im a diesel mechanic by trade.

 

up and down

the stock bushings are rubber

they came out with a new better type of bushing for the cross member that i will soon upgrade both sides my self on my rig since one of mine is on its way out



these are the new improved versions of them

You want to measure from a fixed spot on the rim instead of using the ground when measuring height. That way you take any possible tire under inflation/over inflation/etc out of the equation.

 

How does this kit ride as opposed to the t-bar tweak?

 

i had a tbar tweak before i installed this lift and the ride was rough, rode like a bag of bricks. with the lift installed and aligned properly its alot better than before a little stiffer than stock but not as bad as a fully cranked tbar. plus it "should safe the front end from wearing out parts" but only time will tell. ive only being riding on this kit for 3 days but have had it since before xmas.

 

Can anyone post a side by side pic of a stock blazer compared to a lifted (2.5" rcx and 2" bl)? Thanks!

 

Yup. Ripped ANOTHER CV. Getting it fixed by Rough Country and then selling it and getting a GMC fullsize. Im not dealing with this anymore. It seems that everyone has problems with this kit- even their test blazer has problems with it. Screw it all...just done with faulty products.

 

Which cv do you keep ripping? Psg? Thats the side im having problems with
