I have it on my truck and love it. I have the rear bumper kit also and would highly recommend it. Also the install took me about a day to do myself.

the 3" comes with bumper relocation brackets...and YES you should install them.

07blackz71 - do you have a large gap between the trailer hitch and the bumper with the relocate?

 

 

Not really. It still blends in with the bumper. THe 3" kit the hitch will be more noticeable.

You have any shots of the back of yours? Post em up, it'd be good to have a comparison.

 

Here's the 3" Kit:

^^ This is why I like the GMT900s... the hitch is so hidden from the factory that when you install a 3" body lift, it looks like a normal hitch.

 

 

Edit: Not even noticeable in the side view:

Which part of a BODY lift has to do with the suspension forum? :D

matt.. your right you can hardly tell you have the 3" body lift on there... I am still torn between adding the 1.5 and the 3" BL to the fabtech and going 35s vs 37s.. I would not be adding steps which is one reason I think the 1.5" will look better.. Another concern of min is the exhaust. What did you do about yours?

I cut my exhaust off after the muffler, at the hanger under the bed. I like the "no exhaust" look... just cleaner IMO. Everyone has "exhaust" no need to show it off IMO :D

 

Here's a side shot of the body lift without the steps (i know i know, the frame sticker is still on it). I still think that even without steps these trucks hide the body lift easily. No one except one of us would know that frame showing meant it had a body lift... and driving down the street, you wouldn't know if it was a 1500 with a body lift or a stock 2500, unless of course you knew that the crew cab short beds were only 1500s... but you get the point.

It's a tough call. If i were you, id go 3"..... because if you don't you KNOW you're going to want that extra 1.5" soon after.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
