Did you get the standard shocks or did you upgrade to the Nitro or fox shocks?

Nitro shocks. They were only few $$ extra.

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

Why would you want to go back to stock?

I know your half joking half serious. But the only reason for me returning to stock would be part availability on kits that get discontinued or re-sale of the truck. You'll get more value on a stock truck than something with a kit on it all day.

 

A lot of buyers will not touch a truck that's been modified and for good reason.

 

All those things aside, I don't think a "quality" kit should modify the truck to the point where you don't have the stock option anymore. I guess it's something you have to deal with but there's very few kits out there that will outlast stock GM parts. Maybe full custom

not necessarily true at all. Where I live a lifted truck will cost more than its stock brethren all day new or used (optioned similarly obviously)

Either way you pay 4-5k for tires/lift. You rarely will see that return

on a used truck yes! You rarely see ANY return on a hobby, that's what hobbies are, ways to spend money in a way you enjoy........

I can give you the dealer link because seeing is believing

In California, a lifted truck will sell for more than a stock truck.

After years of working hard and putting my family first, I finally got to get my lifted truck.

 

I've been following this forum for all 166 pages of it. After seeing all the great input y'all provided, I went with the following...

 

4" BDS Suspension Lift

295/60r20 Open Country ATll Extremes

This is very true especially with a quality kit done in good taste

I'm actually not joking at all haha. And for a couple reasons, as others have said you may not get a full return on your lift kit but that's a "Well no shit" statement but you will normally get more for it with a quality kit vs a stock truck especially in the south and California. Two, if the best lift manufacturers didn't need to cut some things to make their lifts work like you'd expect they wouldn't. But your definitely no engineer, they need to in order to make their kits work properly, accounting for new angles and camber adjustments, you name it. So at the end of the day if you want to lift it, lift it and do so with a kit your gonna love. Don't compromise for some future dudes few extra bucks (or lack the thereof as discussed) all those years down the road. Enjoy your truck. That's what it's all about.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
