Check out Central Coast Motorsports (ccmoffroad.com) for a leveling kit. You can just crank the stock keys, but over time I'm a firm believer other parts will wear prematurely. The leveling kit just keeps our CV angles, ball joints, idler arm, etc. a little closer to factory specs. They won't be to factory specs, but closer is happier. A de-cranked lift kit will keep everything as close to factory specs as possible...

 

CCMs leveling kit consists of UCAs, keys, diff drop spacers, and shock extensions. Any quality leveling kit usually consists of the same...

 

I raised the front approx 2" and the rear is stock...the ride only slightly stiffened on the front, but is now more truck like... 

 

I'm running 275/65R20 in BFG's on the stock 20's that are equivalent of about 34.5". No rub's whatsoever...

I had a 2016 Z71 LTZ. I just cranked the stock keys and raised almost 2" in the front. I ran Kanati 35x12.5 mud hogs on factory 20's. Slight rub at full lock on the sway bar. Rode decent after I got the mud tires on there.  Never got around to adding the shock spacer or UCA's before I traded it in on a 3500hd.  Getting ready to do the same for it too.

Guys I just purchased a 2016 HD Z71 6.6 crew cab short bed. I am looking to level the front 1.5 to 2.0", How many turns are you guys putting on the stock keys to obtain this. Also did you have to use shock extenders. I would like to go to a larger tire, but not looking to go to a 35. a 34" would be good for me.  Thanks in advance

Mine is a gasser, but I think 7 turns got me about 1.5" of lift. And yes, shock extenders will be helpful. Make sure to get the front end re-aligned too.

Just had a ReadyLift level kit installed. I have a 2016 2500 with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 275/65/20 on 20x9 Grid GD1 +15mm offset. 

Did you change the upper control arms? Mine only have about 1/4" before hitting the stops. There are signs that they are hitting. The measurements the installer gave from before and after show almost 2.5" raised to level. Steering also seems a little loose.

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
