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

How difficult was this kit to instal? I have 34" tires on my truck with a level kit. I would like a better proportioned height to wheel size. This looks perfect

I had 4 wheel parts install due to my dealer saying if I had a reputable shop install and if I kept it to 4 inches then warranty would be good.

Ok thank you. 4" just seems to be the right height

Those are the stock 17's that also come with the 2016 Silverado LT? They look good, did you need to use wheel spacers to reuse your stock 17's with that lift ?

Clean truck. How is the ride quality? Where did you get it and how much it cost you?

Ride is very good. Running stock Z71 Rancho struts up front and Rancho 9000 on the back.

I see so much hate on Ranchos here. Is there a particular reason? I've always liked their products.

 

To be honest, the truck that I rode in that had Bilsteins just felt mushy. I'd rather have a stiff suspension than something that makes the truck roll around everywhere. I know it all comes down to personal preference, but I've never really understood the "Rancho = crap ride" statement.

It's because Rancho products are cheap and the quality reflects it.

Well I dunno about you but my truck is a z71 and it came with rancho shocks and they suck. So yes the ride is crap and I can't understand for the life of me why anyone would buy anything rancho for their truck after driving a stock z71

Funny, people that don't race cars assume that Brembo brakes are the shit. Then people with cars that come with oem brembo brakes think they are adequate/great. Then people who race cars know that oem brembo brakes are usually junk.

 

Point being that anything that is oem isn't going to be a premium product. Even though they have better products to sell. So rancho shocks "suck" but the only people that complain out of the hundreds of thousands of trucks sold with them are a handful on enthusiast websites...

 

Statically i would say that you're in the minority by saying they suck even if they could be better.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.
