Could you tell a difference after adding the body lift as far as noticeable height or was it not really noticeable. Im deciding to do the same or not. Thanks

Main reason for the body lift was a slight rub on the rear of the fender wells in front whenever I'd back out of a parking spot or driveway. It was just enough to drive me nutz. No more rub now. Although I do still on occasion trip on my powersteps when climbing in. Other than those 2 things you won't really notice a 1.5" BL. And it looks good still. The 3" I saw on a truck at my shop was obvious and didn't look so good to me. Big gaps/spaces everywhere.

Hi all,

Not sure if this post should be here or in another. I a new. I just purchased a 2014 Sierra 1500 SLT. I would like to get an additional 2-3 in clearance without breaking the bank. What is the best way to do this?
is it a suspension lift kit?

a leveling kit?

Just bigger tires?

Like I say, totally new and not sure what I need.

It has 18" rims on it right now with stock tires.

Any and all tips/help would be greatly appreciated.

2-3" of clearance you're looking for a leveling kit, not full on suspension kit (those will be 4-7"+).

 

$150 for 2.5 Rough Country spacer kit. Raises the front 2.5" and the rear 1". You can easily fit a 275/70/18 on your stock wheels with this kit as well.

You will need to check and see if you have aluminum or steel upper control arms. Take a magnet to it and if it sticks, it's steel. Others have posted pictures of that theirs looks like.

 

New coilovers/rear shocks/UCAs - you're looking at $ 2500+

Hey I have the zone 4.5" lift with the spacer bracket on the front suspension. Has anyone with a similar setup just bought oem replacement coilovers? Or have you done a full coilover that replaces the oem spring and the lift spacer all together? I want to get king coilovers but can only find oem or 2-3" lift coils. I know fox has a complete replacement coilover.

if you get king OEM you need to keep the spacer. Or you could get the full replacement fox as mentioned

Yeah I just cant decide which to do. price difference is about 500 with the fox being more. Price doesn't matter but I was just wondering if there is any plus or cons with running the full fox or the king and keeping the spacer

i don't think either have cons other than $$. Just a matter of how much better the pros lol

yeah thats true. I guess at this point I am just debating whether there use the oem type coils with the top front spacer or just replace the full shock and spacer. I am assuming a full replacement of the shock and spacer would be idea. that and with my 35's all i will see is the top spacer lol

 

decisions decisions lol

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
