Yeah not always, but it was safer this way.

 

But mine did end up with the same length of reveal on the slip yoke, so it worked out ok. When I pull it to balance it, I'll likely remove an inch and have the perches in the flip kit drilled to re-center it.

 

That's if I keep the truck. I'm vastly unimpressed with the stuff that gm does these days. I can fix it all with enough $ thrown at it, but damn. GM does not use their head for shit.

I love my truck. I wouldn't change a thing besides the uca mounts

And maxtrac, belltech and mcg all move the axle.back. they are all pretty much the same. I just prefer mcg products

Do I have this right flip kit only is 7", flip kit and hanger (stock shackle) 5/6", flip kit hanger and drop shackle 3/4"?

I'm thinking I want to be around 4", possibly 5.

Love my truck too, are the uca's a common problem on these? I just had one replaced on mine under warranty a couple days before putting in the drop shocks haha

For the flip kit question yes.

 

As for the other part. It's not a problem into you go past 4 inches of drop or so. Because the wheel doesn't center in the wheel well and it looks restarted. The only way to fix it somewhat is the mmw arms which are 1k

Is there any 2/4 kits for a 4wd? I've looked but everything seems to be for 2wd only.. 14 sierra with cast steel front suspension

The rivets need to come out and the new ones bolt in place.

Ok.. I'll have to think about it. Might be a bit lower then I want to go.. What about lowering struts? Best place to get those?

It's adjustable. From 4 to 6. You want 4. It can be set at 4

 

I have mcg struts. Straight from mcg

Yea that's true.. Didn't realize how much work it was for that kit, not bad though... And i guess the shackles just allow you to go even lower?

The shackles raise it to 4 or 5 because of the lift hanger which flips the shackle

4" is nothing on a k2. I used my regular cab with a 4/7 drop to tow the wife's chevelle once and it was fine. You wanting a 4? You'll be just fine. These trucks are high as hell stock anyway

      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/

      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/

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      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.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      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.
