I also don't like the nose high look. I don't mind a little rake but given the option of little rake or leveled truck I'll take leveled look 10/10 times

4/6 is close enough to level on my truck, that you really have to be paying close attention to see that I'm not actually level.

Anyone with with the djm 4/6 drop on there truck feel like it shakes alot over bumps. the steering wheel stays straight and doesnt jerk to one side or the other, it just feels like the truck is a brick. So bad that my phone will almost shake out of the cup holder when im on a bumpy road. it feels very weird. the alignment is within spec besides the caster which i hear is normal. any input would help before i pull off these control arms and buy spindles and struts.

My input is djm is the worst possible kit to buy.  When i first bought mytruck i had bought the djm arm,  installed them.  Went for a 10 minute drive. Went back home, pulled the arms off because they were horrible and bought mcg parts

I'm sure it's been asked and I'm sorry for asking again. But, does the driveshaft on a regular cab need to be shortened with a 5-6" flip kit? Now that the Sierra is a summer only truck I want to lower it more than just the shackles. But I don't want to go so low that I need to cutting on the truck (notch, driveshaft and such). I like the look of the 2/5 drops I'm seeing, and even thought about s 3/6 drop. If I do the 2/5, are the belltech struts any good? May go that route first, then if I want lower I can do the spindles. And does anyone have a PN# for belltech pr anyone's 4wd drop spindles? 

I think this winter I'll get the stance right. Then next winter AFM delete, with headers, intake, tune and exhaust.

Just did the 3/5. Mine was fine, no shortening here.

Well I'm just hoping to get it a little lower I mean if I cut the stock bushings in half I'd be ok with that

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
