hey there I am guessing most people on here maybe familiar with the new F150 Raptor that ford is producing. I am wondering if any companies out there may make a Suspension kit for GM trucks that would be roughly equivalent to that suspension?

Im guessing you want a prerunner type suspension? Coilover's and UCA can get you 3" of lift. If you have a 2wd you can get lift knuckles for 4-6" of lift. Fiberglass fenders provide room for big tires. Or you can get a custom suspension for like 5k with new everything up front.

 

We need to know what you want? Are you going to jump your truck? Drive fast in the dirt? What size tires?

well I have a 2003 GM sierra 1500 4x4 and would be looking for something like a pre runner suspension though I don't race my truck I am looking to be able to have some fun offroad with it where I usually take my quad out its mostly sand there. as for tire size was thinking 33-35max.

They don't make anything prerunner type for torsion bar suspension.

You can crank them up to 2" inches and clear 33s fine, but it won't be a prerunner suspension. You can buy a 6" suspension lift or body lift too.

 

Why so you want a prerunner suspension if you don't plan on driving fast offroad?

streets here get rough as hell fast in the winter so would be nice to have a better suspension for it since I don't crawl around at 5mph when the speed limit is 50mph.

      Hi, New here.  2026 Denali HD.  Just purchased 7/2/26. I am having the same issue.  I just traded in my 2024 AT4, and the truck connected to bluetooth and Android Auto Immediately!  Now, with the new HD, it connects when it wants to, which is usually not at all.  I have to use the usb-c cable to get it to connect.  Bluetooth won't even connect without the AA. Now after saying all that, I'll take a 20 min drive with the phone plugged in.  Stop at a store, restaurant, etc....  Get back in my truck and DO NOT plug the phone in.  The truck then decides at this point, lets connect BT & AA and work perfectly, ie how it should.   I have deleted (forget phone) the phone multiple times.  I guess I'll just get used to plugging it in every time. even though I don't think its good for the phone battery to have it on charge after it hits 100%. I have searched all over.  No one else seemed to be having this issue, until I read this thread today.   thanks for reading.

      2004 GMC Sierra Crew Cab Ignition issues

      By Heath · Posted

      I have an issue with my ignition hanging and I have to tilt the steering wheel to get in the off position. I have used a great key lock spray and it doesn't help resolve the issue. Is this an ignition assembly issue or something else. If anyone has a past experience with this please advise.   Thanks  Heath

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By jl6690506 · Posted

      This is a terrible GM warranty experience, two months waiting for a covered engine swap with no loaner or timeline is not allowed under GM’s courtesy transport policy.Escalate straight past regular support to a GM executive case manager, document every closed service ticket and dealer repair paperwork. File a complaint with NHTSA to force faster action, and ask for daily rental reimbursement while your truck is down. If it’s been out of service over 30 days, your state lemon law may let you pursue a full vehicle buyback.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By jl6690506 · Posted

      198°F isn't unusually hot for an 8L90, so I don't think temperature alone caused the issue. Since everything returned to normal after the truck sat for several days, I'd be looking at an intermittent electronic or hydraulic control problem before assuming the transmission itself has failed. The first thing I'd do is scan the Transmission Control Module (TCM), not just the ECM. GM transmissions can store manufacturer-specific or history codes that won't trigger a check engine light. I'd check: TCM history and pending DTCs Commanded vs. actual gear Line pressure Shift solenoid status Torque converter clutch (TCC) slip Transmission fluid temperature If it happens again, try to capture the data before cycling the ignition, since some intermittent faults disappear after a restart. A professional scan tool that supports full GM transmission diagnostics makes this much easier. For example, the Foxwell NT809BT can access the TCM, read manufacturer-specific transmission codes, and display live transmission data that's not available on a basic OBD-II reader: https://www.foxwelldiag.com/products/foxwell-nt809bt Hopefully it's just an intermittent control issue, but I'd definitely pull the TCM data before replacing any parts.
