  1. If you are talking about the threads..yea..on the right side, its bent when i was screwing around..im gonna replace both sides in a month
  2. I can attest to rear air bags to rear, but depending on size lift, u will need a taller block and a spacer for air bag Eventually down the road u might want to get work done on your rear differential when going 33". Some claim u don't need it...but I suggest it Also for the guy that has 2wd...here's what I did in front for example..it's just an option Sorry for being dirty..it's usually clean but it is a work truck
  3. I 2nd that as well.. They are stiff and very strong. I didn't scroll to previous pages as well but another consideration for the rear is having rear air bags. I think you might to consider that as well. You can adjust the rear end to pretty much to being level to the front end. If it's been discussed already, I apologize. I'll post pics in a couple of hours when my wife comes back with truck
  4. I think it's a matter of preference..for me personally, I started at leveling at 2 1/2", 5 now 6 1/2"..ya I know the weird height difference but my truck is unusual. Sorry for bad pic..it's quite hot out here
  5. I guess my style is "work truck" style I'm assuming.
  6. If I didnt have weight in the back of truck when its fully loaded, I am do down for McGaughy's. When I ever do upgrade to a 2500, actually if it's even possible - a fully customizable flatbed is my dream then I'll look to it. Currently on my Sierra, even upgraded to a 4.56 gear ratio with locking diff..I'm still on the fence with 35's.
  7. Yes sir! The direction towards the DMV, not the Tower Disctrict...and btw beautiful trucks! You'd figure living in Fresno, I would get Mcgaughy system like everybody else, but I can't seeing myself throwing 35's on a 1/2 ton. I'm happy with the 5" lift and 33's
  8. I live literally about 3 miles from that location where that was shot at ?
  9. We should have more pics of lifted 2wd. I have a 2017 GMC Sierra, 2WD. It is currently at Fearless Gear here in Fresno getting rear differential changed to 4.56 and getting universal joint replaced. I could go 35's but I plan to stay at 33. I will post pics when truck gets back, hopefully Friday. I have appointment with Linex at 10 am. I lifted mine purely based off of looks, never offroad - tbh, I just got tired of the 2500's, etc, sitting taller than me on the road - thats it. In the front, I went with a MaxTrac 5" knuckle lift, Bilstein B8 6100 set at 0" (I didnt want to to go higher than 5), Cognito UPC (not needed but I did it anyway because of the better ball joint). I also had to replace lower control arm because replacing that lower ball joint was a pain and I ending up buying 2 LCA at O'Reilly's. As far as the back, I put 3" rear block..I also have Airlift air bags and I had to buy 4" spacer as well. Also have Hellwig rear sway stabilizer. The knuckle lift will space out your tires out some, so to some, it will look out of place in comparison to the rears. You can add spacers to rear but i chose not to. You can go mcGaughy's route..I live in Fresno so you will see alot of their trucks around here..I really wanted their front crossmember but that's about it. I will post pics most likely this Friday. Good luck
  10. I'm getting ready to build my relays tonight. Just waiting on Amazon truck (that ABS plastic sheet cannot be found locally). Also I wanted to try the 6 relay fuse holder for a cleaner look. 18sierra1500 I like your spot where you put your relays and in fact I will be putting mine in the same spot however where CrazyJokerr77 had mention is ideal, closer to the battery is better. However I checked mine, I just don't have the room. I want to able to have easier access to the relays if I have to make modifications/fix screwups. Did you make any changes yet since you last posted? Also i am aware of the GM upfitter switch panel, but I'm going custom panel box.. Also i like your acrylic pc case..something similar to that.
  11. I as well am looking for a 5 way switch panel! I was hoping you had one installed and I was hoping you found an ideal location. There are several brands I found that I really like (on the expensive side) but again I like reliability..prefer US made but I'll take anything if it's quality. I don't have the middle console like you do and I did install a single switch but it's at an obscure location. I ended up removing it and looking into the 5 way switch panel. I'm not scared of drilling holes anywhere in cabin I will show pics later..actually at court atm.
  12. Beautiful job. That is very clean and organized. I would be very embarrassed to take a pic of my wires tangled underneath the dash. Just curious why that brand of rock lights? I initially brought what was very similar to your setup but ended up returning it and went with Procomp. It didn't last very long and the multicolor setup is illegal where I live i believe (california). Also did you throw in a on/off switch? Where?
  13. Hopefully this is where to post, it's just another pic of different truck heights. Took this earlier today @ Costco and I was happen to park near these trucks. Mine at 2" with Rancho quicklift and airbags in rear, the middle truck I'm assuming 5" and the end is taller yet. There is a Toyota Tacoma in there as well but meh.
  14. I am a 3 month lurker. I've read all 303 pages of this section (some pages more than 2x, even 3x, so I can understand what I am getting into lifting my 17 GMC Sierra 2wd). There are a lot of beautiful trucks here and I'm jealous of many. However as much I love my truck and how she rides (I'm coming from an old Chevy Colorado), my truck is used for my small business. Having a 3"-4" lift would be ideal but in all seriousness I think I would be happy with LT 285/70/17 tire setup. I currently have the Rancho Quicklift (2" lift), Bilstein 5100's in the back with Airlift Airbags. Why the ranchos? Well i got those and helwig rear sway bar for $100. I couldnt pass it up. I also have the stamp steel uca. While the ride is very good to me, I still have the urge to go higher, like most have felt. also kinda sucks that I live literally 10 minutes away from Mcnaughy suspension but I have no desire to lift that high. I am just rambling. I just wanted to post my first post because it literally took 3 months to read all 303 pages. Thank you guys...beautiful trucks.
