I just bought my 2014 GMC Sierra All Terrain Edition. I was to use my stock 20" wheels and add 33"x12.50R20 toyo rt tires. What lift would you guys recommend and why? Trying to avoid any rubbing or clearance issues and looking to install level kit myself. Thanks

Rough Country 2.5" on my High Country has zero rubbing with 33x12.50R20 tires

Did you change the rear block? Any pictures? I want it to sit level no incline back or front. Thanks a lot

Hi fellas first post here. I installed the rough country 2.5 about 3 months ago and I'm having some weird squeaks and popping on occasion over bumps and backing up. I think I read a wile back someone was having this issue too. Seems like they just re-tourqued everything and it was solved.

Don't grill me for not wanting to read the entire thread to find it again.

I guess my question is is there something wrong or do I just need to re torque everything?

Anyone in edmonton or knows who does leveling in edmonton for Sierra 1500? I am looking for 2.25, but dealership wants $875 CAD + tax for labour and kit!

 

Anyone has clear warranty coverage on leveled truck in Canada? What is the law on mods in Canada anyway?

It's gonna cost about that much everywhere, because the 2.25" kit requires taking the strut out. Get a 2" kit and it can be done for under $300 (depending on which kit you get). And really what's a quarter inch going to get you? As for mods in Canada, they are pretty standard laws and can be found on the ministry of transportations web site…

I'm from Saskatchewan and I believe the Modifications laws are posted on the Sask government website. I can't see that a levelling kit would be illegal anywhere. The Sask. modifications law reads that your headlights and bumper need to be a certain distance from the ground. Which I'm sure if half the lifted rig rockets meet standards, your half ton sierra with a levelling kit will too.

I beg to differ. My dealer (Knapp in Blissfield MI)installed my RC 2 1/2 level lift for $258, which was $180 labor and $59.95 to re-align the front end.

Not all dealer are honest and will rip you off when they can.

I am referring to any law preventing dealers to refuse to repair if I mod the truck. like MAGNUSON-MOSS

Well, I am sure i am not breaking any law :) I have a buddy that did 6" lift without any issues. but I want to know if I will be denied for warranty as I modded my level

Not the case in Canada most places, if not all, charge a flat rate. Every dealer I approached about the 2.25" kit I put in my 2012 wanted an average of $600 (I already had the kit)… Best I found was a Mufflerman that would do it for $450… But my 2" kit was $280 including the kit at a dealer…

Labor must have been cheaper than $180 cause the 2 1/2" kit on rc's website is $149. In Ontario i was quoted $500 + tax for the 2 1/2" kit including labor and $109 for an alignment.

I just had our guys install the pro Comp 2.5" levelling kit in my 2014 1500 double cab 4x4. prior to install the front measured 36.5" and the rear was dead on 39". Installed measures 39" on all four corners with stock 18" wheels and tires. The kit I purchased on Amazon for $165.00(187.00 to my door), labour to install and align was 2.0 hrs. @ $130.00/hr. flat rate. The truck rides great, a little tighter in the front end, no unwanted noises, headlights will need to be adjusted. Tire sizing is next up.

    • I agree.   However, the owner's manual, suggests that a drop over full is just as bad as a drop under. (Read black and white letters only, insert no common sense.)
    • That P0700 and loss of power suggests something significant is amiss to me.   More/other codes may suggest otherwise; I would investigate those prior to spending the money to change fluid on a transmission with a bad torque converter.    The relatively sudden escalation of symptoms to me suggests that something began failing (initial shuddering experienced) and rapidly deteriorated (slipping/loss of power). Fluid condition alone wouldn't cause the sudden escalation of problems - though it might have been the cause of the deterioration up to the point of failure.
    • Stabilitrack operation is in a sense a separate/independent operation from the operation of 'traction control'. Stabilitrack is used to keep the vehicle traveling in the DIRECTION intended, it can brake independent wheels and or adjust throttle to influence the direction the vehicle is moving.   This can be illustrated by a 'fish-tailing' example. At high speeds, if the stabilitrack detects excessive yaw (the vehicle spinning like a top, it has a sensor for this), based on inputs from steering angle it determines that the vehicle is spinning out of control, and begins working to control that unintended spin. By reducing throttle input or braking specific wheels to control or prevent the spin.   The traction control works similarly using the ABS system to slow spinning wheels and thus transfer power to 'other' wheels. The goal being to achieve wheel speeds that are all in agreement with each other, the truck then assumes that since all the wheels speeds are the same no spinning is occurring. For example, launching up a wet boat ramp, there is no excessive yaw present, traction control alone can manage the wheel spin by braking spinning wheels and cutting throttle.   Stabilitrack and traction control from a hardware and software standpoint are basically one in the same, I don't remember specifically in 2004, but you couldn't get a truck with one and not the other. The switch on the dash, could turn off the traction control, but not necessarily the stabilitrack.    A confusing comment about stabilitrack vs. traction control, the same components serve both operations, but marketing could advertise them as two separate features.    The AWD system is another separate system entirely, in addition to the other two, it uses the same wheel speed inputs but can also vary the transfer case clutch application to direct some power to the front axle, working in conjunction with the traction control to bring wheel speeds together.   The power split will never be greater than 50:50, the same as 4-high. It will never direct MORE power to the front axle than the rear.
    • Not based on the new photos I'm seeing.  Car and Driver posted additional photos that shows an auto stop start button left of the steering wheel.      
    • Car and Driver is reporting wireless CarPlay WILL remain, and they posted several additional photos, including a left knee shot, but the only hard buttons there are e-brake, auto start stop, tailgate and cargo light.  Also definitely looks like High Country and ZR2 get micro fiber on the center of the console lid and the ZR2 possibly also on the seats.
