Because they do....? The advertised 6" lift for the GMT-900's nets about 7.5-8" of lift. Not sure about other years.

Yes, I have one and I am very happy with it.

 

Got about 7.75" of lift out of mine. You can measure the components and see. I cant remember the exact figures but the cross-member measured just shy of 8" and that usually gives you a good idea of how much lift you get with the kit. I think the strut extensions were 7.5 or 8" too I cant remember anymore but all the math added up to just shy of 8"s and thats exactly what i got on fender measurements.

 

Had 7.5" gain and that was to the bottom of the fender flare, original measurements were without fender flare and it takes up about a 1/4" of an inch below the fender.

Do you run a fabtech if so are you happy with it

 

 

Running the same kit and very please and measuring exactly 8". Plan on throwing a 2" body lift on it and rolling with 37". I have a scheduled deployment next year and possibly going to get a 20K re-enlistment bonus tax free which will be more than enough to buy 4.56 gears, the shoes, new wheels, and a bunch of other performance stuff. Damn I cant wait!

Thanks for the info on the body lift and all and trust me I dont plan on blowing all of the money on it, I only get half of that up front and the rest on my yearly anniversary. If anything with the money I make just being deployed, its more than enough to do what I need to do. Going to pay off some debts and take my little ones to Disney World and the old lady on a cruise.

      New Member Just Bought a Vtrux

      By Artemis · Posted

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?

      Brake Bleeding Procedure on 2026 Silverado 2500

      By davester · Posted

      subscribe to alldata.com, that will have gm's brake bleeding procedure.  and what you have to do likely varies, as if you just replaced a caliper and the MC didn't go dry, you most likely can just do a normal bleed on that corner, but if you disconnected lines at the MC or the abs unit, or let the MC run dry while doing work, you'll have to do a more extensive/complicated bleeding procedure.
