Well I went your route and purchased a base model TRX that I found for MSRP. I have a 2022 TRX on order spec'd how I want it, but I probably wont get that until spring, so I found this base model for 72k and will get it in two weeks as it is out of state from me. I will drive it until my 2022 comes in and use it as a trade in :)
I took your advice with the bwoody. I’m waiting on it to come in. 8-10 weeks unfortunately. But with the suspension, wouldn’t all the options, both spacers and the springs create a longer strut assembly, causing the CV angle to be off? I’m leaning toward eibach, just wanted to hear your thoughts.
I’ve had zero CV issues after 30k miles & 3 years of use. I’ve seen multiple owners tear their boots on 100% stock suspension so it’s honestly luck of the draw. My CV angle honestly isn’t all that much worse after the perch collars than it was from the factory. To my understanding going with springs will essentially be the same as adding a perch collar. More preload, less compression, higher ride height. When I did my level 3+ years ago springs weren’t an option.
About the angle of the cv axle, it doesnt make a difference what level kit you have it will be the same. There is no way to lift/level the truck without increasing lower control arm angle, therefore cv axle will follow. Only thing you can do to help cv angle after that is get a differential drop kit if they are available. Done them on multiple chevys.
