Sure do. e1a4632306b0875430481a030613d362.jpg

Looks great! What tire/wheel size? I found a pair of wheels I like that are 18x9 offset 12mm/ backspacing 5.47", I'm hoping those would work since the kit says OEM wheels won't.

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

I think I got the kit and installed for 1900. This is the best pic I've got for now.

Does the Zone 4.5" kit actually lift the truck 4.5"? Or is it more? I believe someone posted that BDS's 4" lift was actually 5" or even 5.5" which is really disappointing. I would like a true 4" kit. I don't think anyone is running Skyjackers 4" or Procomps 4" but I could be wrong. I'd love to see those...

The measurements i got a while back were 43" in the front and about 43.25" in the rear. not sure what the stock measurements were but if you don't have anything on your truck you can base it off that. also have to consider how big of tires are on the truck...

Mine measures 41" front, and rear at the wheel wells, with 305/55/20's. Which I think are the same as 33-12.50's

Anyone with the 7" RCX lift notice that the rear leafs have a funny arch to them after the rear blocks have been installed? when I look at the rear leafs it looks high in the center and then lower at the ends of the blocks. Kinda looks like a "W" are the outter small U-bolts to tight??

Ok so I'm dead set on the rough country 7" lift for my truck but has anyone seen or heard of the air lift kits (not the one for towing sag) I'm talking actual lift kits, found a site called (kelderman.com) that has it for the 2015 2500's. So I need help finding something for a 1500 please. 978851ff72426c1f3701e741154eb800.jpg

A few of us created a thread and talked about a real air lift a while ago. I would love to go that route but no one makes one for any 1500 truck. Only way you'll be able to get something like that is if you can custom fab it or someone even mentioned maybe some kind of hydraulic system (like they use on low riders but the opposite. Let's call it a high rider)

So I'm stuck between the Rough Country 7" lift or the McGaughys 7-9" Economy lift set at 8". Will run 37s with either kit. Options on these lifts please, I am looking at other topic pages but want y'all's take on it as well. a2dadc6f35dd3708d7e6b3a6b3c9f143.jpg

McGaughys set at 9" on 20s an 37s

Rough Country 7" on 20s ( could be 22s no sure) an 35s.

Depends on the offset you are using to be honest. Ive seen 37s on the rough country lift but one guy is running -76 offset and he rubs so bad its not even funny. Maybe 7" RCX and the 1.5" body lift

I'm pretty sure that If you do anything but the McGaughy 7-9" at proper setting, then you'll have to trim off some of the bumper to prevent rubbing.

      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.
