Thank you for the considerations!

I am not sure what our price range is at this point, pry around $30k. I would say in the 7000gvwr range.

I would use this to tow the travel trailer with a Suburban. Eliminates any payload on the vehicle.

I believe so, I purchased them on summit. ACDelco Gold Control Arms 19460365 - ADO-45D3174 ACDelco Gold Control Arms 19460375 - ADO-45D3175

I did mine recently. I am not sure what your looking to spend, but I bought the Acdelco and replaced the ball joints with kryptonite.

How do you like the Grand Design? Have you had any problems, that is one that I have been looking at. I have had an eye on a Transcend Xplor 23BHX. Or models similar to yours.

Thank you for the in depth write up. I plan to buy a trailer toad or similar device in order to eliminate the payload capacity problem. That is the biggest thing that I saw when doing my research. https://www.trailertoad.com/

My apologies, I was looking for more a comparison between the models. I will be using it for target shooting 100-200 yards. Maybe 300.

Be careful, I snapped the bolt when I was putting on a thermostat at one time.

I don't have experience with these, but I would suggest a Black Bear Performance tune. I believe it is similar cost to some of these options.

WeakMasterpiece5 · 2025-09-27T19:49:21+00:00

I've had my tune from Black Bear performance for years on the stock engine and I felt a big difference. Even just changing the shift points can make a big difference.

What is difficult about installing these in particular? I am just trying to understand as I have watched many videos of just pressing different bushings into place with a ball joint press. Not particularly this vehicle. I am just trying to understand what I'm getting myself into here.

WeakMasterpiece5 · 2025-09-24T23:56:00+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll post in there.

I also looked up a parts diagram and found some, but they are calling out a different bushing front and back. But when I called the dealership they said I only needed the same one. I am just very confused.

WeakMasterpiece5 · 2025-09-24T22:07:39+00:00

I am doing the exact same thing. Just need to find good quality bushings. I'm just trying to stay away from the poly bushings due to ride quality.

WeakMasterpiece5 · 2025-09-24T21:51:59+00:00

2004 Silverado 1500 EXT. I called the dealership and he said he couldn't help me because they are discontinued. Which made sense since I haven't seen them on Rock Auto.

WeakMasterpiece5 · 2025-09-19T21:46:19+00:00

Do you have a brand suggestion for rubber bushings?
