Txpipeliner Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 I have a noob question. I have a 3/4" under strut spacer. (1.5" lift) I have not even installed I have decided to go 2.5" can I add a top spacer to this or just start over. Thanks
JEK2 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 A GPS or smartphone will tell you how fast you're going compared to what the speedometer says, then you can adjust accordingly. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD Sorry for a reply to an old post but I have a follow up that I haven't seen an answer for. If larger tires affect the speedometer, what else is impacted? What about the odometer? What about economy readings, etc? Thanks 1

It is about 5-10 footer right now but if you get close, you can see some chips. Eventually, I want to have the bumpers, grille, and headlight surrounds painted. Edited August 1, 2016 by SouthPawCO
think Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I recently got back into a Sierra. Bought a 16 SLT a couple weeks ago and had the Bilstein 5100's installed. Still has a slight rake but not enough to complain about. Think it looks pretty good. I can't rave enough about the ride!

Eventually, I want to have the bumpers, grille, and headlight surrounds painted. I was thinking of having mine painted as well... but I think i may get someone to do a vinyl wrap instead, so I dont have to mess with removing the chrome. My emblems are plastidipped currently and from a few feet you can't tell the difference.

K_W Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Haven't driven them in the rain yet, but thanks for the heads up.
Juan_ID Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 What kind of mpg are you guys seeing with the leveling kits and 33" a/t or similar tires?
bcbz71 Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 What kind of mpg are you guys seeing with the leveling kits and 33" a/t or similar tires? You are going to get 40 different answers. Some people claim 20+ mpg and I never got that with my truck stock. I get about 17-18 mpg with 32s, a level, and no front air dam. 1

I have filled my truck twice and both times it was 12.5-12.8 with a little of everything in there from 10-20 mph gravel roads to 80 mph freeway driving. Regardless of what I drove I thought that seemed low and expected a little more
