New to forum and new Silerado LT owner. Contacted dealer about doing this lift and they refered me to an after market shop that does all their lifts. They gave me a quote for Readylift spacers and alignment for $500 that uses my Z71 suspension. Is this an inferior method to get 2" lift? If I find another dealer that does use the GM kit, did I waste money getting the Z71 package?

I wouldn't think that the farmers and construction workers would agree.  If it wasn't for them you would not have food on the table or businesses to work/shop out of.  Try taking a RAM with dynamic sp

I wouldn’t take offense, takes all kinds of people in this world to make you who you are. Cutting down others in order to make an assumption clearly shows someone with a very low IQ. Takes money to ow

So this kit is only available on LTZ's and LT trims with the 2.7T? wtf?Screenshot_2019-04-19-18-58-08.thumb.png.4b31ec8fbf1799925d8c1421118346d4.png

X2 on this. I just ran into the same question. Why would composite leaf spring make a difference? On the accessories site, that’s what the restrictions cite.

How does this lift work with magnetic ride control models? On the website the lift can be optioned on a Denali. I wouldn’t mind losing the electronics if I had to.

I dont mean to Necro this thread. 

I called GMC hq they said this is an aftermarket parts. Not promoted by GMC? but the dealer I called again said it's backed by GMC. confused. 

 

If I get this lift for my SLT will my ride get worse? anything else I should consider?

So is this sort of a factory lift? Basically an At4??? 

Yes, Trail Boss (Chevy) AT4 (GMC) is a factory lifted truck, you can buy the kit from GM for the non Trail Boss / AT4 trucks and achieve the same height as the the 2 trucks listed above.

You are getting different shocks and struts, not sure how they compare to what your truck came with. I’d go drive a AT4 with the same rim size as you currently have and judge for yourself as ride is very subjective and you’ll get tons of opinions from others.

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
