It looks like it sits higher in the front a little or is it just me?

It is a full inch higher in the back 39.5 in the front 40.625 on the back. I could have take a better shot. I think there was a slight incline on the second shot.

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

Has anyone leveled a truck with say a RC 2.5" kit and then upgraded the coilovers to a Fox or King brand?

 

I understand that Fox and King are adjustable but I'm concerned that if I lift them too much, the ride will be too stiff. If I run a spacer and the Fox's on the factory setting, then I may get the best of both worlds?

 

Make sense or am I completely wrong?

 

I think @spurshot can chime in on this. I think he upgraded to kings

so i just bought a 2014 silverado and got a tuff country leveling lit for it. i went to install the kit and ram into a little trouble, i had it pretty much installed on the passanger side and noticed tha my upper control arm was contacting what looks to me to be some sort of droop limiter. i put everything back together in the stock configuration. im wondering if once i nstall the kit completly if this will cause any issues with suspension travel.

Any reason why the torsion key leveling kit is not popular? I am referring to a replacement torsion key (ReadyLift) vice cranking on the existing bolt.

The new trucks don't have torsion bars they use strut spacers to level

Thanks. I saw them on the ReadyLift website, but did not recognize that it was for 1999-2007 year models.

I would go with a ranch quick lift strut system if its the same as the older models. It did the job very well on my truck. I hope they come out with one for the z71 model.

 

The "Z71 model" is no different than any other 4x4 Silverado/Sierra and the Quick Lift struts work and lift 2". Not sure why Rancho claims it won't work with Z71 suspension, the only difference is shock stiffness when it comes to the OEM suspension packages.

RC 2.5" leveling kit, I did not install the upper strut spacers because I wanted the front to still be slightly lower than the rear


BFG 275/60-20's. Wish I had gone with 275/65's!!

Picked up a new 2015 Z71 GMC crew cab 4x4 today. Front measures 36 1/2, rear measures 39 1/2. At what point on a leveling kit would new UCAs and/or a diff drop be required? Looking at the Bilstein 5100s set at next to highest setting or a 2" spacer.

      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.

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
