I'm new to the forum so if this has already been asked sorry. I have a 06 Sierra 2wd. It sits nose down bad (front end is lower than the 2wd nissan work truck I have). What do yall recommend for a leveling kit or lift kit for this truck? And what size tires would I be able to fit? It has 17's and I want a taller tire than stock.

Moving to suspension section. Also check out the other threads under the suspension area, lots of ideas.

Chris did you have to use the shock extensions or get longer shocks?

- How to Delete Brake Vacuum Pump (Video)
  
  By scrapen · Posted 3 hours ago
  
  Just thought i'd add how i did this delete with my truck. Better late than never I suppose. I purchased the PnP Tech Works Vacuum delete manifold (Vacuum Pump Delete Manifold - OEM Fitting – PnP Tech Works) which is just a spacer/adapter for the EGR w/ an added vacuum port. I have a catch can but I didn't want to tee off any fittings in case i were to need to remove it for whatever reason. PnP has a hose you can buy, but i found GM Delco 1761488 (25796198) per recommendation I saw in another thread. The factory hose clamps i felt were a little too loose so I used my own hose clamps (crimp style). you can scavenge both vacuum ends but i only used the brake booster side. Having 4wd, removing the bolts were a pain. I found the rear 2 bolts were easiest underneath using a u-joint socket adapter to rotate close to 90 deg and a bunch of extensions from underneath. May have made the other two bolts easier but I had them out by then. I have a 6.2 manifold. top of picture show hose barb with hose attached I rotated it back downward after this picture was taken as they were taken before I crimped the clamps.

  Why would Toyo give me recommendations for my truck/tire combo so they won't wear uneven then?

  Those psi values are too low for a 10 ply tire. Simple really.
