This is awesome, you're honestly the only youtuber that makes content with an avalanche!! Im freaking stoked to see what other things you do to it and please don't stop making videos with it!!
@@jtmoffroad maybe you can help me out.my avalanche has the hydro brake system.what kind of brake fluid do I use?also my brake light on the dash comes on and off yet I'm full of fluid.thank you for any help .?
Owners manual will tell you which fluid to use but I’ve always used whatever latest dot is. Brake light could be something else in the system. Using a code reader may tell you.
You are the only guy on TH-cam to install that on a gmt800 platform. Also one of the only guys to do a full install video. I’m really thinking of making my own video as well
I’ve been eyeing up a lift kit for the last few weeks. I realize your lift kit was a “good buy” for you, but if you had to do it again, would you look at a skyjacker or BDS? Right now I think the RC lift is about $800 less than a BDS, and about 1k less than skyjacker. The only lift that doesn’t do the NDT is the skyjacker. Anyway, I am leaning toward the RC due to the fact that it looks quality, and now I’ve seen one installed. Did they offer a longer rear shock option, or did it have an extension for the factory rear shock? And I was also looking at some MOOG control arms with the new ball joint already installed. They offer an offset version, to allow more degrees of adjustment. Do you think that would have been a better option for the RC lift install, or just maybe yours because the upper A arm issues? I also “heard” that you can install second gen axles on the first gen and ditch the axle spacers. Have you tried that? I like your videos, thanks for posting them. It’s nice to see real world car vids, especially with an avalanche.
I can’t say anything bad about this rough country lift, haven’t had a single problem. I also haven’t tried the other lift kits, but if this kit does what I want, why spend the extra money. The kit just comes with rear shock extensions but I plan on ditching for longer shocks. I just need to make sure it didn’t change any angles that would make the shock body hit the axle, I doubt it though. That’s my two cents on that. The control arms I got were moog with ball joints already installed, I didn’t get the offset but that isn’t my issue. The cam bolt pin broke when it was getting aligned so I need to weld one in place to get a proper alignment. I’ve also heard about the second gen axles. I haven’t done that yet but it makes so much sense, I’ll be doing that eventually.
It connects from the rough country front diff drop bracket to the tie rod. If the drop bracket is similar I would think so but couldn’t say for sure. That’s a good question!
Anyway i can get a stabilizer kit for my 05 trailblazer? Ive lifted mine to the maxx 2.5” rough country level lift kit, thrown on sum 33”s for a total of 5” of lift my wheels are definitely oversized for this thing and bump steer is horrible. Any help would be amazing
Ive had my 6" rc lift on my 06 Silverado for like 7 months now with 35s and the steering is terrible lol. Every bump the steering wheel will turn one way or the other. I need to get one of those rc n3 steering stabilizer
@@jtmoffroad theres something i would show u if i could send a pic of it but the ppl that put my lift on didnt hook a vaccum line back up on my 4x4 and i just found that out here recent because that part im talking about it shows in your video with the vacuum line hooked up. Im having issues with my 4x4 and just trying to get everything squared away and fixed
Sooooooo I know this is an older upload but I have to ask because it’s such a cheap purchase. It doesn’t state that it will fit my application. But, would this work for a 2003 Avalanche that has a RC 6” lift but, is a 2WD? Really hoping you see this.
Didn’t have it before the bigger tires. Maybe a smaller problem with one of them got magnified when the bigger tires got added. I’ll have to double check but I think they were good before the lift. I have the typical shaft rattle that comes with those trucks but I do have a new one to throw in eventually
So could I put a stabilizer on my 2017 Tacoma with 6” and 35s to eliminate pulling to the right? I’ve tried getting alignments and tire rotations and it never helps. I mean do they even make a stabilizer for an independent front suspension?
I have the exact same issue as well after installing the 2.5 level. I’m going to replace pitman, idler and tie rods and see if it helps. It’s not terrible but noticeable and gets way worse in the snow.
Can someone with basic mechanical knowledge help me? I have an 04 Chevy avalanche z71 PKG. when I try to start the truck, it takes forever to turn over. My friend told me he thinks it's because my truck is allowing too much gas to pass through (or something, something about flooding) and it's not evaporating fast enough...what's a fix for this?
Was hoping to get a better idea how it mounted. Spent 10 min talking and 20 sec showing how it was mounted. If you want people to subscribe you gotta do better. Thanks anyway
Sadly only video I can find on this on 00-06 chevy and this has to be the worst directional video it's just you running your mouth about nonsense 85% of the video. theres litteraly 45 secs of video on the stabilizer

Thanks! I’m pumped you’re enjoying the avalanche content! Definitely won’t be stopping!
I bought an 04.avalanche 6 months ago and I've been learning a lot from you . Thank you and keep up the good work.
Thanks! Trying to share whatever I can!

Heck yea do it!
Love the Avalanche videos. Thanks dude
Thanks for watching and the compliment! 👊
Glad it fixed your issue.
Thanks same here!
Are you sure you put this on the tierod? I'm thinking center link. Who could tell, with that vid
My exact issue to a T. Got my stabilizer ordered for my Silverado 2500 ... Can't wait! 4" lift and level with 35 x 12.50's
Hope it helps!

Great install man! Glad it worked out 👍
Thanks! Nice when a little add can help a lot
Just re did 3/4 of all my front end components. Wondering if this RC steering stabilizer will work on a Fabtech lift?
It connects from the rough country front diff drop bracket to the tie rod. If the drop bracket is similar I would think so but couldn’t say for sure. That’s a good question!
I bought one and still havent gotten it on. This is confusing...
Nice dude! Gotta figure this is required on such big tires

Really hoping you see this.
Why not change out your pitman arm, idler arm support, and idler arm? Yours looked completely rusted up n im sure they're shot.
Great Video, did you have to remove your old original steering stabilizer
Damn bro was it hot in that garage?😂
have you checked for slop in your steering shaft or box

You shouldn't have any problems measuring 3.5".
I was waiting for that

Check your hub, and of course your calipers…did you add a stabilizer?
have an 05 with 33s n when i hit a bump it does the same i have a 2.5 rough country leveling kit. i wanna add one to see if it help
It might help but it won’t mask any worn out parts you may have, just a heads up

ac delco gas cap and the evap solenoid ! mine did same and that fixed it
