2014 max tow package

cmysstailights · January 30, 2016

I have a 2014 high country. What would i need to change to make it have the max tow? I currently have the tow package and integrated brake controller, i am assuming i have the trans cooler since i have the tow package.

Front and rear springs, rear shocks, rear axle, front and rear gear sets (max tow are 3.73 on 2014 for both engines).

If your truck is a 6.2 it has the 9.76" rear end regardless of Max tow or not. The shocks are different but springs is debatable. Someone on here a while ago bought the "max tow" leaf springs and gained absolutely nothing as they looked identical and sagged the same amount as the originals did with the same load applied.

Im gonna do airlift load helpers, gears i wouldnt mind changing to 3:73. My 01 suburban had them. If thats the only difference why wouldnt they offer it. Smh

Aftermarket shocks and a set of airbags is a much better setup than the OEM stuff anyway. I'd advise that for the suspension instead of NHT parts.

The NHT radiator, part# 23126402 goes for around $550. It should be a straight swap as all the other parts seem to be the same, but I can't confirm.

That just leaves you with gears. 3.73 is what the NHT had, personally I'd choose 4.10's instead but I don't know if anybody makes them for the 9.76" yet.

Thx, just cant see why they wouldnt offer it. Love the truck and cant afford to trade in. Wouldnt mind spending a little to keep it

The 9.76" is really limited as the aftermarket has nothing... and with it used so little in the grand scheme I doubt it ever will. I should see if I could just swap the 9.5" guts in the housing.... then do whatever I want. Or buy an entire 9.5" and swap the whole rear end.

I was thinking a swap would be better if u find one from a junkyarf

It is. But although I want 3.73s with my 8 speed I would rather have a Detroit locker.... which to be honest isn't made yet for either ring gear size.
