Awesome review and answers IceMan. Thank you.

Too funny about the height difference before and after. VERY odd. [emoji848]

Still torn between Nitto TG, RG or WildPeaks. I’ll do some more price checking tomorrow.

Lastly, you chose the BDS level over others; such as the famous Rough Country. Why and what did it run you?

No problem at all! Glad to pass along info whenever I can.

To answer your last question; the short of I️t is peace of mind....

BDS offers a warranty that in my opinion isn’t beat or even matched by any other company in the industry. For the originally purchaser, BDS offers a lifetime warranty on their parts and a matched(supplemental) power train warranty for 5yrs/60,000 miles for the trucks factory parts. In other words if you break something on your truck and GM says I️t broke because the BDS kit was installed, even if you know they’re lying through their teeth; BDS will step in and cover the cost.

Coming from the modified Subaru scene I can tell you all about how the Magnuson Moss Act SHOULD work and how I️t typically DOES work...... so having an after company that will back factory parts is a huge value added for me.

The level kit was $138 in parts and with install and alignment it was $396. A little steep in my opinion for a level kit but part of the way they get you is the warranty is only good with authorized professional install. Would have loved to have done the install myself and saved the coin but such is life...

The break down was:
$138 parts
$155 install
$70 alignment
$33 NYS sales tax

Has any one tired RUFFINO RENEGADE II? 3f7f0330046039694122f2f4db072d47.jpg

I'm thinking about moving down rim size, and the tire place I go to is having a sale on rims and tires this rim being one of them.

Great looking truck. Does this set-up rub or require any trimming of the wheel well liner? I plan to drop down to 17 inch method wheels and wrap them with 285/70 Ridge Grapplers. And I’m leaning toward a 1.5 inch ready-lift front level. How much room do you have with the 2 inch level?

I mean the rims look straight. I have the same tires on my truck except 305/55/20. Had them for probably 800 miles now. They seem good to me. I ordered mine through custom offsets

Lots of guys at work have them, I just want them to make my insurance go down a little with the snow rating. So for those tires and rims it's $1350 no tpms best deal I could find.

2" level gave me plenty of room. No rubbing at any point, forward or reverse.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully I can stay clear with the 1.5 inch level.

Just purchased this truck. Currently on 265/65/18 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. I was thinking also of downsizing to 17, to look a bit more aggressive with 285/70 with maybe BFG TA KO2. leveling 1.5 or 2. Definitely don't want any rubbing or trimming. What you guys think?

Did you mean  285/65r18 as those look bigger than 265/65?   And Duratracs are much more aggressive than KO2s.

285/65r18 and 285/70r17 aren't big enough size difference to be worth buying new 17" rims...both are going to fit fine with a 1.5 or 2" level.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
