Just bought this 2018 and put 2" front Motofab lower spacer.

 

Tires are 275/60/R20 (33")

 

Love the new look.  Not sure on what to do with the air dam yet.

Nothing on the rear?  Truck looks great!

 

As for the air dam, if you live in snow country, I would pull it off for sure!

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.

Trucks look like toothless hillbillies with out the air damn. I've never had a problem getting around them.

.. my prices are $CDN so if $USD they will be much cheaper. I paid $170ea for the front struts and $139ea for the rear shocks. I did not get the Eibach springs as I did not want to lift it the 2.5" that the springs provide. I bought these back in February and have been running the rears since then but only just installed the fronts last week due to disc/nerve issues with my back. After a week of driving they seem to be holding steady at 2" on the third of four notches. I really love the ride at this setting so I will leave it at 2" and I ordered a 1.25" lift block for the rear to gain some of my rake back for towing.

thanks...I would just reuse the factory springs...I wonder how much that would help me save...I bet they would be pretty close to Bilstien cost.

.. went to dealership today to have alignment done since the 2" level with Eibach struts as I'm heading out on a 10 000km cross country trip this week (4 provinces and 5 states).. all specs were almost spot on.. toe was only off by a tenth of an inch.

Hello all

 

I have a 2017 sierra denali ultimate 4x4 with the 22" wheels.

 

My goal is to get another inch or so of tire sidewall / ride height.


It seems the easiest way to do this is to do a level kit.  Can someone please recommend a kit or parts that I should get to get that done?

.. the 1.25" rear lift kit  I ordered for the truck came today.. went with a company that I thought had a rep for quality - Skyjacker - only to be disappointed when the lift block kit arrived to find a short block that they wanted to be stacked underneath the oem block.. what a load of garbage!.. seems I just wasted my money with this company.. not looking to spit a block and ruin my truck.. especially when towing.

  Can someone please recommend a one piece small lift block of good quality..ie. iron with pinion angle correction?

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
