  1. Yep. I like mine too
  2. Looks good! Get some rear fender liners. It will make the back end look lower in a strange way.
  3. Won't let me attach more pics 2020 LT boss 054 2020 LT 2wd lwb 050 2020 LT 2wd 053 Coil springs 2020 LT 4x4 84475061 2020 LT 2wd lwb 84475059 2020 LT boss 84475061 2020 LT 2wd 84475058
  4. So where do I look for the front springs?
  5. I have a LT 2WD 2.7 CC and mine is 777.
  6. I installed Monroe Reflex rear shocks on my truck. They are a monotube. I would put these in the middle of very soft factory 2wd shocks and Bilstein 5100's. Ride is more controlled but still have the softer ride on small and big stuff. Bilsteins were stiff on small bumps but good on big hits.
  7. Well when other leaf spring manure carrying trucks are riding better with the same payload capacities people tend to think there may be something that was done wrong or perhaps they can fix it.
  8. No BS on this end. It does have turbo lag and it is absolutely designed for the lighter side of the truck crowd. Just stating that for what it's rated to tow it tows fine. In the video on the Ike test they said it's towing time was right up there with the "big dogs". They were very surprised with it's towing.
  9. Yes. A V8 1500 will almost tow twice what a 2.7 will. That wasn't my argument. Please re-read my post's. I never mentioned anything about more power.
  10. Seems like the video is backing up what I'm saying.
  11. How is it already spinning high when in the example I gave its only around 1500 rpm? Are you getting the turbocharger and engine RPM mixed up?
  12. Both had 3.42 rear axle. The loaner had the smaller 18" wheels and tires while mine has the 20's. I guess technically mine would have the higher gearing with the bigger tires. Not questioning the 5.3 having a higher rated towing number. Just stating that for my usual towing the "lawn mower engine" struggled less than the 5.3. Nope. Just a trailer with load of about 2000lbs.
  13. Not the most scientific test but when I pull my trailer I set the cruise on the highway to 70mph. On overpasses and bridges my 2.7 with the trailer never downshifts going up. The 5.3 would downshift. Which would mean its downshifting to generate the torque it needs to maintain 70 mph and having to rev higher. Meanwhile the 2.7 is still in 8th gear purring at 1500 rpm at 70 mph.
  14. I don't think it's stupid for guys to want a better ride out of their trucks.
  15. According to some post of Facebook the 2018 rear shocks are the same length as the 2019's. So any Bilstein or Eibach for the 2018 should be good to go.
  16. My 2.7 pulls my trailer better than the loaner 5.3 I had.
  17. Put the shackles on mine on the 2" setting. I also experienced some vibration and spun the shims around.
  18. Two issues for me. About three weeks ago I had a check engine light. I brought it to the dealer and it was a knock sensor. It was cleared and did not come back. This past weekend I was driving and the check engine light came on along with a message on the screen saying engine power reduced. Felt under-powered and felt like it wanted to stall from a stop with slow acceleration. Brought it to the dealer and it was the cam position sensor. 3000 miles. Starting off great haha.
  19. All the shocks currently available as far as I know. I had the CST shocks. They make very nice stuff. Eibach shocks- https://eibach.com/us/c-56-car-truck-suv.html King shocks- http://www.kingshocks.com/products/oem/gm-oem/ Part Numbers at the bottom of the page. CST Suspension- https://cstsuspension.com/167-2019-gm-1500
  20. Helped a buddy with his truck.
  21. Pulled about 6,000 lbs this weekend with mine. Did really well. Engine didn't struggle at all.
