You may be right. I guess we could ask @sean006 to measure the distance from ground to top of the wheel wells front and back?  That should settle it.

I’m no expert when it comes to lifts or level kits so what’s your input on this:

 

front is 40”

rear is 41.5

 

Let me know

For my 2018 1500, the stock measure from center hub to fender was 21.5", and after Fox 2.0 coilovers, it came out to be 23.5". So 6" lift should be 27.5"...from hub.

From ground, tire size changes will add to lift. My 275/70 18 measure in at 38 5/8" from ground to fender.

Happy New Year!  This is about as close as I can get to mud around my area. Every road is gated off. Anyone in the Redmond Washington area know of some good back roads to take?

 

 

I lived in Seattle 2010-2011 and took my 2003 Z71 up in the Snowqualmie area a bunch and had a bunch of fun on trials. Drive out I90 up past Issiquah... Tiger Mountain, Rattlesnake Mountain, and the area opposite I90 Keechelus Lake had a bunch of fun forestry roads that didn't beat my truck up too bad.

The OEM chrome chipped and I wanted a cheaper replacement. I had my doubts, but I liked the end result!

OK this is what I got compared to my stock 2018 Denali - you have a 3.5" lift on the front and 1.25" on the rear.

 

Calculations:

 

You have 33/12.5r20 tires, that puts your hub at 16.5". 

        Front=  hub to fender is 40-16.5 = 23.5"

        Rear = hub to fender is 41.5-16.5 = 25"

 

My Stock Denali measures Front = 36 and Rear = 39 13/16 on 285/45 r22 - hub is at 16.05"

       Front = hub to fender is 36-16.05 = 19.95" - let's call it 20"

       Rear = hub to fender is 39 13/16 - 16.05 = 23.75"

 

So you can see that your front is about 3.5" higher than my stock Denali and your rear is about 1.25" higher.

 

So is that a Level or a 4" lift?   What does everyone think?  Comments?

Thanks for the advice, I will have to try that. I have to get my front raised up - my front air damn practically scraps the ground it is so dang low. Level or 4" lift is the question right now and removal of said front air damn.

Does the rear difference have anything to do with the tire size ?

(Compared to your stock height)

 

and if they just added a front level kit they did a terrible job making it “level” lol 

1.5 off

Looks great 

Which headlights ?

Did you vinyl wrap the GMC ?

Posted (edited)

Retrofit D2S swap with the 2stroke led bulbs and diode dynamics switchback led swap with klearz lenses. No vinyl, just the shells. They have been on for about 4 months, have held up great. If I keep the truck I’ll get them painted in addition to the sensors.

I believe I took tire size into account. Remember, my truck is a Denali with the magnetic ride control suspension. That could be a difference - maybe it rides an inch lower? If so then you would have a level.

    • 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.
    • 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.
