I got a really good deal on my grandpa grocery getter (ECSB, Z71, pewter, every old man has one). I wanted 3.73 gears and about the only way you&#39;re going to get them is with a Z71. I wanted a standard cab longbox 2500HD with a 496/NV5600 but they&#39;re rare critters. I was desperate for a truck so my other ones didn&#39;t die of salt and this is what I ended up with. The Z71 package is pretty much worthless for offroading anyway. Anyone that actually wheels never uses an IFS rig. This is my daily driver.

If it makes you feel better, I&#39;ll peel the Z71 stickers off.
Yeah, that&#39;s my first choice but if I have to buy U-bolts might as well eliminate the block altogether. I take it you&#39;ve seen people go to a 1" block before? I&#39;ve seen fifteen or so aluminum lift blocks crack and/or "round off" in my day. I live in BFE where the motto is "performance parts? it&#39;s a victory every time it starts&#33;" so everything I buy is via the interweb.
Cool, I&#39;ll give that a try. Happen to know what people usually align these trucks to? 1/4 degree toe-in and a 1/4 degree negative camber?

First of all, I didnt mean for you to get mad about my comment. It was an Honest Opinion. And a Z71 is not worthless for off roading anyway, I have owned 2 of them and Live on a farm and have taken them through some pretty nasty stuff. Back to the alignment questions. Ill ask my tech on monday and get back with you, he is gone for the day. I do know what once you mess with the tortion bars it makes it near impossible to get a perfect alignment, just depending on how much you tortion it up or down.
