Hello all!

 

I am hoping someone is in the same boat as myself or even maybe has some intel that I don’t? I am ordering a 2019 Silverado so I have 6 weeks but can not find a lift kit for it. My #1 choice would be BDS but the person who responded to my e-mail was very vague and just said it’s being worked on in R&D.

 

Can anyone weigh in with their knowledge/input? 

 

Thanks so much,

Big E

Just some updates I received via e-mail from reaching out to companies to ask this question....

 

BDS- As I mentioned in my above post, very vague with their response.

 

Rough Country- Rep told me next 60-90 days

 

Fabtech- Rep told me they just got 2 2019’s in their shop last week and they are testing, should be out in coming months

 

so that is my research so far to share, if anyone has any new info please post their findings.

 

Thanks,

Big E

I'm sure they are in the pipeline from all the big manufacturers so hang tight.  Lots of new to deal with on these trucks.

I would assume Sema in October will show off multiple lift kits.

 

DUDE.... that’s a genius statement! I totally forgot SEMA being in October, so hopefully the big lift companies will release prior, I have my eye on BDS hoping they release their lift by beginning of October!

Rancho will probably be first with a lift kit since they are the supplier for the oe shocks they would already have specs on the new design. BDS is usually quick to develop their kits also.

All cad drawings were released to the lift manufacturers before the vehicle was released.  All suspension companies are scrambling to be the first to market.  Most likely all large aftermarket suspension component companies will have their 2019 gm half tons and 2019 ram half tons out at SEMA.  The struts are longer and the previous model struts and coilovers are too short.  The leveling kits that assembly above the strut assembly can remain the same but for any companies that use a spacer that mount to the bottom of the strut will need to change or be trimmed as the shape of the control arm will interfere.  

 

PS.  No one aftermarket lift company has the upper hand on another.  All suppliers are sharing a fair race..

Just my 2 cents, but the Sierra does not look good lifted. :nonod:

Too much wasted wheel opening, or something about the angular leading wheel opening.

The Silverado should look better.

Instead of the wheel well having a taller opening, it would be nice to see a wider opening.  Chevy needs to take after dodge and ford so you can run a 35" tall tire with a simple leveling kit.

The Tire looks way too tight at the 3 and 9 O'clock position in relevance to the 12 O'clock top of tire to fender gap.

It is just plain awkward in appearance.

Icon showing that a 35" tire will tuck up in the wheel well for when the truck is out flexing its muscles! Although it looks a little close on the sides so I wonder if some trimming might be needed if tucked while turning

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
