Removed the factory lift blocks from my Double Cab Sierra. Had WAY too much rake from the factory. I really like the results. Dropped the rear about 1.5" and still gives me enough rake to not squat too far down when towing/hauling. No vibration issues either, aside from what it had from the factory, lol!

Here is some pics of mine after a cleaning 3-5 McGaughys

That is one good looking truck. I've had 3 rc trucks & I really like the look of them lowered. Only thing is a family & rc trucks don't mix.

One of the reasons I got a RC is my daughter was 14 at the time and well... she is fixen to start driving and if we all take a trip it will be in the Wife's Pilot. So I kinda have my toy all to myself unless the wife wants to treat me to Dinner and of course I drive her.

3.5 in the front , flip kit and lift hangers in the rear , which is 5 inches , im about 1.5 inches high in the rear from being level . going to see if it settles any and add some assist bags and bring it down a little more . rides awesome so far . install was a pain in the a%* tho .. I think mcgaughy's needs to work on their instructions a little more and maybe add some pics .

Using Belltech 6401 shackles on a 14 silverado, was there any issue with removing or installing the top bolt do to a weld or something under the bed getting inthe way?? Was it neccessary to lossen the four frame bolts to gain clearance?

I don't remember all the different kits that had a similar issue, but I remember seeing that a lot of people had to hammer fold over part of a weld seam for a clearance issue. It may be those same bolts that you're dealing with. I had a shop lower mine, so I'm not exactly sure if they had to do anything similar. Sorry I can't help more.

      Needing this part.

      Still looks like a rivet to me in the pics, I don't see a nut and none of the pics show the head of the screw. But if you says so.....

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.
