do you have to re position the headlights with the 2 inch drop in the back

Yes. Mine was lighting up stop signs and blinding oncoming drivers! I had to lower them about 2½-3 turns on the up and down headlight adjusters.

The driveshaft is out being shortened and balanced. Everything else looks real good, installed McGraphys helper bag kit also. The front is being dropped while the shaft is out being taken care of. At this point my fingers are crossed that I have no vibrations after getting everything back together and dialed in. I'll keep you posted....

I sure wasn't expecting this...Oh well, gotta love the after market...

do you have any pictures of the airbag helper kit?

Is that a 2" drop rear leaf with a 2" drop shackle rear and a 2" drop strut front?

 

I wonder what that rear spring costs... I already have shackles and I can put the front strut on the bottom side of the spindle dropping it 2".

Well, after we shortened up the driveshaft 1.5", everything went together great. I'm really happy with the way the truck is coming together. Magnaflow system isgoing on today, tint tomorrow and then black out that grill some and I'll call it good...I'll keep you guys posted.....Rich

is the rear sitting a little higher higher than the front? did you install lifting rear hangers or just flip kit?

Flip kit, rear brackets, shocks, extenders and helper bags in the rear. Spindles and adjustable struts in the front. Truck goes back in on Monday to raise the front one half inch.....With 10lbs in the bags, I'm after the rear being 3/4" higher then the front...Perfect

 

Also, smooth as stock, no vibrations, thank God........

Looks good! Don't enter any car shows around me. ;)

Until we get rid of the "ears in the rear" (stupid ass bumper steps) nobody's going to win any shows lol

I'm going to have to address this sooner then later :)

BTW, awesome job with your exhaust, it came out great. Had me thinking when I saw it but realized on this truck I couldn't give up the hitch. Looks and sounds great.

    • The whole story is false. The screw is there as a temporary fix to allow the pump to even turn on. When the nozzle is returned the pump shuts off.. At this point people are just being punked   https://youtu.be/1DtlaEuHXAA?si=06mrRmw9HLUwdeRk   https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CyRZdsaSc/ https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DxV1Hyrqi/       SNOPES: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19HPYUnRik/
    • Follows the motif on the Sierra EV.  Satin finsh to the lower bumper area, painted above:   Elevation       Denali      
    • Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/
    • Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.  
    • New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.
