I agree, the Garmin price is quite steep.

Hi all, looking for your up-to-date take on off-road navigation apps. I’m considering moving away from Gaia (since the recent acquisition, the experience hasn’t matched my needs) and want to compare what’s new on the market with similar capabilities. Could you please share: App name & pricing (one-time vs subscription, any “pro” tiers) Key features: offline maps, satellite/terrain layers, GPX/KML import/export, waypoint & track management, accuracy/reliability, live sharing, 3D/contour/dune visibility, and device support. How it compares to Gaia: what’s better, what’s missing. Regional notes: map quality and reliability in UAE/GCC deserts. If you have screenshots or sample GPX files, even better. Thanks in advance for helping me pick a solid Gaia alternative!

You could have realized and raised this concern earlier, as sadly in mod world, ppl wanna sell more upgrades to solve one issue, which may or may not be relevant as far as they are making sales, they are happy. Starting from the beginning now, while changing 7.5 vs 9, have you considered reversing the ball joint from left to right and right to left? This is the most common hack in the US suspension system to gain a bit of extra tolerance. I recall doing the same with my wife Trailblazer when we lifted 2 inches as per US based forums. Your first concern should be thorough research on similar issue with credible data like on forums, reditt, youtube videos from the owners who have done the same upgrade before. My balljoint swap could be relevant as Tahoe and Trailblazer are sibling, so research on this specific part and find credible answers as a first starting point. Also research on swapping upper arm with ball joint, as I vaguely remember reading this part too somewhere. Also find some performance UCA that addresses this specific issue for off-road use.

Also, go with a real branded spacer from a reputable brand and not a lookalike/replica, as they will surely fail during off-road stress and will cause endless wobbles on the highway.
