What year and how many miles?

They no longer send out build sheets. This was the response I received on March 22, 2023. "Thank you for reaching out. As of November 2021, we are no longer able to provide this information. However, you can purchase a copy of the vehicle invoice (documentation of the vehicle cost broken out by model and factory options) by visiting www.gmmediaarchive.com.

It's been a while but thought I'd update the thread as I've now had the front shocks on for almost a month. I set the ring at #3 and did get right about an inch of lift (seems to have settled in at just shy - about 7/8"). The ride is vastly improved on and off road. They are a touch firmer on small bumps, but not harsh and no more bouncing. I am pretty happy with the amount of lift as I have a topper, which causes a bit of squat in the rear, so now it's much more level. This is a great upgrade and worth the time/money.

These shocks are a huge upgrade. It's actually upsetting how much better my truck rides now that I have them on front and rear - these trucks with the x31/Z71 package should ride like this from the factory. The rear shocks alone make a big difference, but having the fronts as well completely transformed the truck. As it turned out, one of my front shocks was blown, and one of the rear shocks were blown. I put the rears on at about 23k, and the front at about 25k - pretty sad that the Ranchos are that crappy and shot so quickly.

Thanks for the info. I'm now bouncing between #3 & 4 settings, but #4 at the highest. I do want a touch of rake as I tow occasionally and often haul stuff in the back.

Thanks. I'm most likely going to go with setting 4 to shoot for 1.5". The weather isn't cooperating so the fronts aren't going to be done until next weekend now so I have a bit more time to overthink it.

Thanks. I guess I meant how much did the ride quality change? Thanks.

How much did the ride change as you changed the settings?

Late to the party but about to install the same shocks on my rig. What's the verdict now that you're 6+ months in?

I've searched, and can't quite find what I'm looking for. I have a stock 2020 Sierra 1500 SLT with the X31 package. I currently have about 23k miles on it, and I hate the way the stock Ranchos ride. I've had great luck with Bilstein in the past so I've decided to go with the 5100 to level the front while I'm at it. I have a full set of Bilstein 5100 that will be delivered tomorrow that I'm looking to install this weekend. I'm curious to know what real world numbers to expect from the various settings on the front shocks. I realize what the instructions say, but after driving/settling I'm wondering how accurate the numbers in the instructions are. Given the labor involved(granted it's my labor, but still), I'd like to only have to do this one time. I'd like to level the front 1.5" to 2" at most. As of now I'm planning on the #4 slot, but in 6 months am I going to wish I put it on the #5 slot? Any input appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks. I ended up ordering the Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0 bulbs. I like the output, better/brighter/whiter than stock halogen bulbs for sure. I wish they were a touch brighter though, and I might try an HID kit. One minor gripe I have with the Morimoto H11 bulbs is that they come with a tension spring that ends up binding and getting in the way. I didn't force the bulbs, but both bulbs did the same thing and I couldn't seat them all the way. Upon inspection I found the springs to have bent. They bulbs should be designed so the springs bend in the opposite direction. I ended up having to basically flatten the springs for the bulbs to seat properly. They sent me replacement bulbs, and even being aware of what could happen, and with slightly flattening the spring a touch, they still wouldn't seat so I sent the replacements back. I have a couple weeks to decide what I want to do with these if I'm going to exchange them or live with them. The bulbs seem to be seated securely without the tension spring, so it's more of wanting to roll the dice on HIDs or not.

Just wondering if anyone has pulled the trigger on the Morimoto XB LED headlight housings that were recently released. I'm trying to find pictures of the beam patterns and how they actually function, but not having much luck These are pricey, but if they work well I might do it for my wife's 20 Yukon SLT. https://www.headlightrevolution.com/15-20-gmc-yukon-xb-led-heads_4?quantity=1

I'm interested in the console lid, thanks.
