07 lbz

[Molly]

i bought an 07 lbz just under a month ago, i've looked around and can't really decide what i want to do with it so i figured here i could get some more input.

i know i want to
- 4 inch lift or so
-33s, not really feeling 35s because i tow a skid loader/ baby excavator weekly
- full exhaust
- lift pump
- efi live
- big dipper trans
- tows
- helper bags
-ect...

when i bought it, the torsion bars were already cranked and it had a 4 inch straight pipe from after the cat but since i bought it

- tint
-debadged
- repainted hood and roof
- blue led interior lights
-8k hids
- xm receiver
- alpine type s speakers, haven't installed the tweeters yet

how i bought it

how it sits

i know great pic huh?


anyway so it's leveled on 285 terra grapplers and i've been looking around at those cognito uca's and it's pretty expensive.. should i do it even though i intend to lift it in a few months? do they make a difference when if i use them with a lift kit?

i'm going to be asking a lot of these questions and trying to get more educated opinions other than my own, so yea..

with you running cranked that much plus towing I would upgrade all the steering parts. If money allows purchase the Kryltonite front setup. It is supposed to be amazing. Link:KRYPTONITE STEERING/SUSPENSION : DMAXSTORE.COM, Your Duramax Diesel-Only Shopping Resource

Also look into EGR delete or blocker plate, PCV reroute and delete that DPF!

 

[James Pate]

I would get the control arms regardless if you lift or not. I have them on mine and love them

 

[Molly]

i was ridin home today and decided i was going to buy the ucas. i was on norcal truck and looking at their stage 4 kit.. i was looking around and the next one up has the option for a different control arm..?

is it any better? why do they not offer that with the other kits?

i'll call them tomorrow unless someone knows on here.. i'd get the next kit up but i don't want to buy new shocks for like 4 months...


i don't think my truck has a dpf? i know i need to do the pcv re route, and can't you tune out the egr? thought i read that somewhere..

 

[Emery19]

yeah you dont have a dpf.

 

[Jared]

kinda want

 

[Molly]

I called norcal truck and i think it said they arent taking calls until 11/11 ??? sent them an email about the ucas.


opinions on getting the truck tuned the way it is? meaning no lift wheels/tires and only straight piped. I have the transgo jr shift kit in my room and i'd pick up a lift pump before hand.. efi live dsp 5..

 

[Molly]

in case anyone was wondering, apparently the boxed ucas are set up for bilstein or fox shocks

 

[slicksierra]

The cognito ones?

Why not just get the regular (non-boxed) style Cognito UCAs, everyone seems to be perfectly happy with those ones.

 

[GR$$N$]

hit up my buddy Chris at killeroffroad.net. tell him I sent you and he will get u hooked up with a set of ucas

 

[J_Corr]

This Chris chap ship to Canada?

 

[GR$$N$]

are you at stock height? idk why but i've got some nasty wheel hop.. it does it at work in the dirt when i first start out… and today i noticed the bottom leaf spring is crooked.. so i was thinking of putting some traction bars on there but idk how i feel about that. a lot of red necks around here put them on their trucks and i don't want to be associated with that

me? well i've saved up but i also cut my social life out haha. never realized how much i spent on fuel alcohol cigarettes fun stuff ect. more time to work on dat beach bod nomsayin'
