How did you get raised 3 inch in the front and 1 inch in the back if you only got the 2 inch front lift? I know rough country makes a 3 inch lift kit which is 3 in the front and 1 inch block in the back. But did you get the 2 inch front level and a 1 inch rear block? 

Because the 275/65R20 gives you one more inch against the original 275/60R20.

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

Hey  RRMI, This is the same setup i was thinking of going with. My only concern is weather or not 275/65r20 ko2 would look  too skinny on the 2019. Is there any way you could take some pics of your truck from the front and rear? I Like the stance in your pics but its hard to see the tires with the shadows.  I know its a lot to ask but i sure would appreciate it.

I looked at the rough country lift too, looks like a great option. The GM lift is definitely more money but they include a lot in the kit for $1053.

I tried my best, I also switched the front hooks from black to red to make her look younger lol.  I am trying to balance looks warranties and gas consumption.

That’s exactly what I needed to know. 275/65 look just fine. I’m even getting a white slt just like yours. Thanks for the pics.

Awesome, I went for the light interior walnut/slate because sun is extremely strong in El Paso, that was the main reason I did not go for the Denali they only have dark interiors on 2019's but honestly I don't think you will miss anything from it probably just the head up display but not regrets on my part.

I like the walnut better also, i think the black is just too plain looking.  Im like you, ill never use half the stuff on the denali, or the slt for that matter. Thanks again for taking the time for the pics, just what i was looking for.

Will do! Just ordered some VHT red caliper paint from amazon, will see how it turns out. My truck is a Silver RST, so between red tow hooks, red lettering on Z71 and RST emblem, red calipers might work.

Anyone with a LT 5.3L able to get this installed yet? Is the composite leaf spring enough reason to not have this kit installed? If that's the case, I'd assume all LT 5.3L owners would not be able to add a 1" block to the rear. Would an add a leaf be an option to pair with a 2" front level?

      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.
