Put my RC 2 inch leveling kit on mine this weekend. Brought it up 2 1/4 inches in the front. For those of you that have installed it yourself did anyone have as much trouble as me getting the ball joints to separate. Had to go buy a ball joint separator. I have a z71 4x4 with rancho shocks and mine didn't go near as easy as all the videos I saw. It looked like the lower a arm is a little different on the 2014s which made it seem like it was much harder to pry the shock over the spacer. I was doing it myself so that may be why. It definitely wasn't an hour and half job like some have done on here. I spent that almost on the first ball joint and then the other side started so I went and got a separator. Broke the rubber thing to do it so probably won't hold grease to well so probably be replacing a ball joint sooner than normal. Not sure if pics posted

Ball joints usually need a separator to get them to pull away. You should not of bought one. Any local autoparts store would of done a free rental on them.

Yea it was just 10 bucks. I moved away from home a couple of years ago so don't have my Dad's stuff to use so I try to just pickup a few things here and there. I figured those ball joints would be tough to separate but then I watched about 15 Youtube videos and they knocked it loose with ease with a couple of knocks. It gave me hope but then I messed around with them and it cost me a couple of hours but finally finished it all in about 4 hours.

Yea, been there man. I've attempted to pull ball joints with hand tools and its a PITA. A ball joint separator makes life so easy.

I know that feeling, my dads shop is a collection of tool from a couple generations. Now when I buy tools for my home they keep finding their way back to his shop stiil, so I have been buying things in pairs so I at least get to keep one!

Changed from old EWS deep well toolbox to Black EWS low profile box. Can fit more in bed and see better out back. Also ordered color keyed caps, handles, and body molding. Black machined wheels and black NFAB steps.

Looks good I've been wondering what a black grille guard would look like on my brownstone truck… Although I'm going with chrome rims and leaving the chrome on the truck…

Thanks Will!

 

It has a 2.5" "level" kit and the trim "level" is SLE with all/most of the option packages minus tow, leather, heated/cooled seats. With my previous truck heated seat were a must with leather IMO, but I don't miss it at all with the cloth seats.

Did you keep the stock block in the rear or use the block that came with the kit?

Great looking truck! [emoji106]

Thanks man! I went with the ReadyLift 66-3085 kit and used the upper and lower strut extensions and spacers. I kept the stock blocks in the rear so it wouldn't have any rake.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
