I’m looking for some help, I have a 2017 Sierra 1500 Denali and I purchased a 4” lift from trail fx. I should’ve been more thorough with my research but I purchased the lift since it was heavily discounted.
Within two weeks of driving with the lift, while I was heading down a trail the control arm broke off from the balljoint socket and that caused my cv to tear and my abs wire tore off at the connector on my frame. I was thinking this would be under warranty but Trail fx won’t respond to my emails now.
I purchased some rough country 2-3.5” uca’s and fixed my front end, but while I was in there I measured my strut spacer and realized it’s 2”. The lift kit comes with strut spacers, 2 3/4” and 2 1” diff spacers, upper control arms with “heavy duty” balljoints, and 1.75” blocks with shock extensions for the rear.
Nothing else to lift the front the extra 2” that it’s advertising
I added a leaf bringing it to 2.75” taller in the rear. I wanted to be taller in the rear since I haul flooring often. It’s quite extreme how high it is, I should only be 3/4-1” higher than the front
I can’t figure out how to add photos haha
I found one review on this lift and he says his truck still sits 3/4” higher in the rear with 4” in the front and 1.75” in the rear. I was always told the trucks sit 2” higher in the rear from factory so that doesn’t make sense to me.
So I’m looking for anyone’s input on this, it seems like they’re false advertising and owe me a front end but they don’t seem to think so. They’re customer service is definitely not the greatest, this happened October 27th and I was supposed to move across the country November 1st, I’m towing a truck so thankfully this didn’t happen while I was doing that or I’d be a goner.
Mangeride is deleted on my truck for those wondering
Lift kit part number is G40SL1
