I am looking to do something similar to this with a RCSB 4wd. Looking for a 2/4 or 3/5. It has aluminum control arms and aluminum knuckles up front. Is there a way to get a bit more rear drop to eliminate the rake without going to a flip kit?

 

 

 

My truck is a 4WD.

DJM front and rear kits installed. 2" drop Control arms, 2" drop shackles and 1.25" block removed. DJM shocks on the rear. Stock Rancho shock up front. DJM says nothing about cutting bump stop so it remains stock.

I got a good deal on some OEM 22" takeoff's and mounted 285/45/22 Maxxis MAZ-4S all season performance tires.

 

I'm very happy with the stance as I like to have some rake. The ride is firmer due to the 45 series tire and the rear seems to be a tad bouncy likely due to the $50 ea DJM shocks. I'll look into some better quality rear shocks.

Apparently DJM is the only company to offer a rear sway bar but after my guys at www.lowriders.ca attempted install and call DJM's tech line it's clear the sway bar is not comparable with a 2015 as it hits the exhaust and hitch

 

I'll be installing some air bags come spring when I throw my track bike in the back for track days.

Spoke to lowriders.ca today and they said DJM does make versions for both steel and aluminum CA's.

Here's my '14 with the aluminum front end. DJM 4" kit (2515-4), and Belltech flip kit. Factory 18" wheels on 265/65r18. On level ground, it sits at 32" front and rear.

Whats up Fellas!. Newbie here. Here is my blacked out 15 Sierra Elevation Edition. I just wanted to post my setup in case anyone else was thinking of running a similar set up. Im currently only running 2" belltech shackles in the rear. Wheels are 22x9.5 with 31mm offset. Tires are 305/45/R22 Grabber UHP. No Vibrations, bottom out or rubbing, even on full lock. Hit me up with any questions.

Looks good tony...new here also...I'm having mine done on Wednesday. Just picked up a 2016 SLT with the GMC 22s and it's measuring 36.5 in the front and 39.75 in the rear so I'm doing 2" shackles and swapping the factory block for an aluminum 1/4" block. I'll still have a 1/4" rake which shouldn't be noticeable over the length of the truck. The guys at the shop (who do a lot of trucks) swear I won't need any pinion angle shims so we'll see.

Should I go with bell tech 6400(1-2") or 6401(2-3") if I'm wanting to sit level? I haven't really read about anyone using 3" drop shackles.

 

Pretty sure to get to the 3" on the 6401 you have to remove the factory block and use the 2" setting on the shackles. The factory block though is more like 1.25" which is why I ordered a .25" replacement block. That should give me 3" total drop. I'll know a lot more around 1:00EST tomorrow so I'll follow up!

Actually the 6401 is the 2" shackles with some spacers for the u bolt nuts. In order to get that extra inch the require you to remove the block and add the spacers to make sure you have enough thread to tighten on.

 

And Jon, I read some other members using a 1/2" block and getting it pretty darn close to level. I will also be doing the 1/2" block soon. The last thing I want is to have higher front than rear. I'll keep you guys posted.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
