Phildosaurus

Update: I grew impatient and went the brute force route. Got the heat gun and deadblow out and that corner rolled back super easily. I bet I gained a 1/2” or more with a couple of thumps and now everything clears nicely.

I’m running 275/65/r20 with a 1.5” bilstein level and 1.5” hub adapters. I have trimmed the flaps and done some pulling back of the fender liners with zip ties, but I still get some rub at the innermost screw for the mudflaps. Looking for ideas that don’t involve cutting into the body and only leaving two points of attachment for the flaps. I’m tempted to get out the mallet and see if I can roll that corner back a bit… curious to hear how others have solved this one.

Thanks so much, mine was blown too. Looked ok from above and has no reason to be blown, considering that the truck has never had anything attached to the trailer harness. But an easy fix, nonetheless.

2021 Sierra - I’m adding some LED light strips in the bed and just discovered that the 12v at the trailer harness isn’t constant, so now I need another source. Any other constant 12v nearby? I’ve searched forums with little success and only found a single reference that the circuit may not be active unless a load is detected (which the LEDs do not trigger). Is this true? Any way to bypass? I’ve had trucks before that required an extra step to activate the 12v hot in the 7 pin - could that be the case instead? thanks!

Thanks, GK!

Digging an old thread out of the grave here, but for any of you GMC folks that have installed your own kits - did you have any issues getting to the nuts for the top of the struts? As I dig around in my 2021 3.0 Sierra, 4 of the 6 upper strut bolts have retaining clips for various plastic housings attached and only a couple seem to come off easily. Am I not being aggressive enough or do I need to look for other fasteners holding that stuff in place? Clearing the crap out of the way is conveniently omitted from all of the install videos that I can find - they all just simply say "remove upper strut bolts"...
