  1. For those looking to do this upgrade, here's my review of them. 2019 Silverado HC, 6.2L My biggest complaint with the stock suspension was the "kick" of the back end on certain sharp bumps on roadways. Often, it would make the the truck feel unsettled, as if it kicked sideways a bit, then had to recover to straighten out. I didn't mind any type of floating ride, but that kick wasn't good. Had the Bilsteins put on front and back by a GM dealer (plus a 1 inch block in the back)... think they charged me around $500 for the labor. Have the front shocks on highest lift setting. I didn't measure it before, but it raised it quite a bit. Upon first driving it, it is just a tad firmer than the stock shocks, BUT... because it got rid of 90% of that kick out, bumps actually do feel better, less harsh, and more controllable. It's hard to explain, but a definite improvement over stock. I've probably put 3-4K miles on it now, and every time I drive it, I'm more impressed with the Bilsteins. You may not notice a night and day difference, but IMO the noticeable change in ride and how it handles bumps is well worth it. Going to try some Ridge Grapplers and wheels now to see if I can make a larger than stock size fit.
  2. I can't find it right now, but somewhere on YouTube there is a vid of one going 148 that has some upgrades. Not sure what they removed the limiter with, but that's the speed they shut down at. {edit} Looks like it was a 2018 model, now that I found the video
  3. Per another post where the owner did the 2" spacer and the adjustable Bilsteins... read through page 11 and 12 of posts for someone that did exactly what you are asking click the below thread:
  4. Thanks everyone. Not looking for what height they are now, just how much one can expect these shocks to lift it from stock. So, with the 6.2L, one can assume a 1.5" lift at the highest setting.
  5. Not knowing much about these shocks, is the 1.1" on the highest setting for these or could you go higher? Also, the part numbers I found are different than yours. Any idea why? SKU: 2x24-293297_2x24-293471 Thanks. Nice truck you got. Hoping mine will look like that sometime this winter.
  6. Anyone put the ride height adjustable Bilsteins on a 6.2L? Wondering if you have a before and after measurement to see how much it raised the front. Heard it might not raise it as much a a 5.3L because of weight? Just wondering if you can get by with putting these on instead of the 2" spacers for a leveling kit and gain the same rise to fit tire sizes that also fit a level. In my instance, this would be for a High Country
  7. What's everyone's take on the Pulsar vs the White Automotive product? They have some similar adjustments, yet some different ones as well. The White Auto. is cheaper, but you don't own it. https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/t1-pickup-wams-spec-bcm-programming/
  8. I emailed the company that makes Diablo tuners, and they said they'd have something out in possibly 3-4 weeks. I also contacted DiabLew who said there might be a Diablo tuner coming, but it will probably still require a total ECU swap no matter what, and that pricing will be up there. Nobody gave specifics yet, but it may not be terribly far off from HPTuners prices for all I know... since they're essentially doing the same thing. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but something IS coming... just don't know what and how much.
  9. White Auto and media advertises a speed limiter delete on the Modifications forum, but I also contacted Diablo Tune that said their tuner should be out in 3-4 weeks for my 2019 Silverado 6.2L
