Did you get everything installed?

Everything except for the rear shocks, going to do those tonight or tomorrow night. Front got installed Sunday. Angles look a bit suspect, hoping the coilovers settle a little in the next couple weeks of driving.

Looks great. You could throw a diff spacer kit on there if you’re worried about the cv angles. How does it ride?

The ride is great. I think the CVs look okay, the upper and lower arm balljoint angles are what concern me

Took some measurements, all are hub to fender:
Rear passenger - 22.75"
Rear driver - ~22.75"
Front passenger - right in between 23.5" & 23.75"
Front driver - 23.75"

So looks like ~3" of lift from these coilovers. Hoping they settle a little since there isn't much room for adjustment.

I’ve heard they settle about .250-.500 after a couple hundred miles. That’s what the guys at Procomp said.

Good to know. I'm going to try and get it in the dirt next weekend before taking it back for adjustment

Got a full size spare made up. Barely fits underneath.

Also went and tested out the coilovers/shocks today, they do pretty damn well.

You have lionhart tires all the way around?


Nope, just the spare. Found it "used" locally for $100. Never even been mounted.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
