Hi guys, I'm new here. Just joined yesterday. Just wondering if anybody has any experence with maxx cam adjustable torsion bar keys? I have a 2003 GMC 2500HD 2wd, and have new tires and wheels for it. 255/80R/17Just want to level it for the stance and tire clearance. Lots of stuff on rc and other keys, but nothing I could find on Maxx. I was just wondering about quality and any problems with that set of keys. Thanks in advance.

i used to install maxx cam keys all the time. kinda cool however it will let you over crank the tortion bars. dont set it at the highest setting. and theres a good chance you can just crank up your stock keys and get enough height out of it and not spend any money. either way plan on some new slightly longer shocks and get a front end alignment afer the fact. they are a good quality key though

I have the SuspensionMaxx CAM 3 on my 2011 Silverado CC Z71 4x4. I have had no problems or issues with it since I had it installed 6 months ago. I used the max lift of 2.5" to level my truck out. Front end is only 3/4" lower than the rear. I'm well satisfied with the product. Make sure the spacers are installed on the shocks and you won't need new shocks. Since yours is a 2wd you will not get the spacers for the front differential. Make sure you get a front end alignment after installation. In my case after installation the front end was still within factory specs when checked.

 

My ride quality changed somewhat (stiffer) hardly noticeable now and it's not a negative feature. Hope this helps.

You can blow your money on the aftermarket keys and make the company richer or you can just CRANK up your stock keys and get the same result. You dont need spacers or new shocks for this.

Thanks for the info guys......

 

I also noticed today after taking off my front wheel that the lower control arm is on the bump stop. Is this normal for this truck or are my torsion bars sagging? The truck only has 51000 miles on it.

yes its normal for the torsion bar trucks to ride on the bump-stops, its a "progressive" bump-stop if you will... if you get down adn investigate it, theres a larger squishier side thats riding on the arm, and the otherside of it is a harder compound that actually stops the suspension movement.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By newdude · Posted

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
