I was wondering this. I’ve had the in-channel ones since I bought it. Lately have been noticing it’s loud with the windows down and the vent visors.

I had the outside stick on ones since about day 3. I just got plain tired of the noise and away they went

Got Mevotech surpreme rear control arms installed. The bushings while not new on the old ones (truck has 80k miles) had still some more miles to go.
I'll wait another 20k miles or so to resfresh the front LCA's, tie rods, etc.

Visit NY next, try buying a gun or by then flavored vape juice. NY is banning things like a fire sale, everything's got to go!

The sleeves certainly look like a better fit vs the OEM oblong, any difference in bushing durometer?

WY-Dave - That stuff is never easy to get off 100%. In my neighborhood they just finished a paving project. I've been rubbing the truck down every chance I get. I don't post anything about it because they just got finished with the project and wanted to wait until then.

It's that a knife pocket on the side of the door? What is that pocket for?

When my dad passed in Waukegan, IL and I went to settle his affairs. I got his guns. I was going to get some ammo and I had to have a "shooters card" to buy handgun ammo.

I'd like to think there is a difference in the bushings since it was refreshing to see the sleeves are an upgrade, and the control arms body are an upgrade.

Maybe it's just the angle of the pic but it looks like the stock arm is slightly longer here.

Tim Garceau · Sep 18, 2019

Maybe 1/4" longer, but the OEM bushings look like they split on both edges in that photo when you zoom.

All regular cabs have it, was told its used for a small flashlight or umbrella.

I think somehow is the angle of the picture though i didn't measure eye to eye. but check the other one where i tried to lined the holes up and the difference is pretty much nothing and should be the same.

Something interesting though if you look at the arms on both ends there is a small end and a big end on all the arms. The small ends seem to go at the axels while the big ones go to the frame side. All the same except for the rear passenger lower. In my case the small end was located towards the frame while the big one was facing the axel. I thought somehow that could have a been a mistake, so i ended up locating the big end towards the frame to match the pattern on all sides, All the stockers have marks indicating frame or axle and in the passenger one that one was marked frame. Weird.

installed my flashpaq F5 and changed the spark plugs.. plugs are a ***** but no way i was paying a $400 bill at the dealership.. took me 2.5 hours start to finish with many rest breaks due to bad spine...

hope to install the vararam by this weekend

tones2SS · Sep 18, 2019

I might wash the truck this weekend. We'll see how it goes.

Actually it seems i made a mistake, I kept thinking about why the differences in both ends so i recovered the arms from the garbage bin and took a picture of them
The lowers have the frame side being the small end, while the big end seems to indicated axel.
So i guess i'm going to have to rotate the lowers because i put the big ends towards the frame/front of the truck.. the uppers are reversed and the big ends go to the frame. Damn it.

And i have corrected the mistake and installed them like the factory says. don't know if having them the other way would have done anything different but what that heck
