Long Travel BS Thread

You can get gussets that pretty much fit any LT kit within reason from TC. Rear spring kits are kind of DMZ vs all with DMZ winning in 90% of the purchase decisions.

 

My truck makes some aweful squeaking and creaking noises from up front, seems to be more from the passenger side. Was present before LT with oem suspention and after Camburgs kit... and I swear to gawd it reduces in intensity as the weather gets above 75 degrees, to even going away over summer a bit. I kid not. Still have not tracked it down though.
I'm standing on my running board next to the front passenger door and making the truck rock side to side:

Definitely sounds like uniballs. Pour some water on them to see if it does anything. If so, just get some 3-in-1 from Lowe’s and put it on them

 

I'd have thought uniballs, except the truck made the noise even before it had any uniballs, just oem bushings. I also do lube the current uniballs with Tri-flo, as recommended by camburg.

 

Cracks in my fender wells and radiator core support made a lot of squeaks. That was on the driver’s side before I relocated the battery.

 

That’s actually somewhat reassuring to hear actually, as I’m having Allco Fabrication build some tube inner fenders in November for me. Remounting airbox, washer reservoir, fuse boxes, & battery.

This makes me want to do away with the radiator support as well, but I don’t think I can afford that $$$ increase at the moment.
I’d assume basically full custom mounting of the all the other 100 front components would not be cheap.

 

Sounds like a personal problem

 

meh. Uniballs are working just fine.

 

Do you just have the one PRP seat or both sides? Trying to figure out how the pax side airbag system works with aftermarket seats.

 

I just have one seat at the moment. But when the roll cage gets done I will replace all the seats

 

Thx man. CTSV-Vs are no joke. Nurburg built GM monster. 8mpg lolz......

 

I'm sure your smiles per gallon are better

 

Looks good! I'm jealous and need to do something similar. Be careful with the epoxy floors. They look great but any high heat/slag (ie. welding, grinding, etc) will burn holes in the pretty new floor.

 

Well about to take a dive into the shallow end of the pool, figured i might as well finally post in here to say hi to the LT guys, few weeks from getting my +2 TC kit installed with King 2.5's all around and archive garage sua, shackle flip and shock mounts.

 

can attest to that for sure as well, never had an issue grinding with the Amazon kit i used but welding for sure.

 

Edit: seen you have heimed uppers... Definitely sounded like a bushing making that noise

 

That’s what I’m thinking it may be, core support bushings, or just some of the cracks in the core support and inner fenders.
Was gonna have Allco Fab just make a set of tube inner fenders for me, but I may just have him tube the whole front support as well if I can swing it $$$

 

I’ll just leave this here. I

 

every other year?? is that not excessive?? maybe the mall isn't too bad on my truck
