Just wondering if anyone has any input as to what lift is on this truck or at least what size and tire combo. Is it 6" with 35's? It does not look like it has a body lift to me....

 

Thoughts?

it's going to be just about impossible to tell the brand of lift without seeing the front lift components. the wheels/tires look like 20s on 35's more than 18s on 33s IMO. lift looks to be some type of 6".

that truck has the 6" fabtech, which is really more like a 7-8" kit.

 

i have a 6" superlift with a .5" leveling kit. 20" XD Spys on 35" Toyo MT's

sweet looking truck, what kind of bumper is that? that is a half ton truck right?

 

 

yes it's a Vortec Max which has: 6.0L motor, 4L70 trans with "heavy duty" cooler, 14 bolt rear, rear disc brakes, and 4.10 gears (on most)

Chad, all of the photos came from the Buckstop Bumper website (Buckstop.biz). I am going to order the rear one for mine closer to the spring.

 

James, Did you re-gear going to 35's? I am thinking of lifting my truck and like the look of this, I was hoping to go with 33" tall tires because I was worried about re-gearing. I have a 4.8L with 3:10 gears (I think), will going to 35's turn it into a real dog?

3.10 isn't a gm ratio in the pickups, 3.23's perhaps. i didn't need to re-gear my truck because of the 6.0 , 4L70, and 4.10 gears stock. However you will DEFINITELY want/NEED to re-gear your truck.

I know this is another topic and not to sound dumb, but I am when it comes to the gearing thing. How do I find out what transmission and rear gearing I have in my truck?

your trans is the 4L60E your gearing RPO is in the glovebox and should begin with GT or GU followed by a number. take that code and put it into yahoo or google or bing search with gm gear ratio code and BOOM there it be!

      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.
