Is it just me, or is there no where near the stock suspension rake that there was on the previous model?

my last truck was a 2017 Sierra and the lower front rake was extremely noticeable, with this truck it almost looks dead nuts even.

mine is an RST, does that change the suspension height front or rear from any other trims? I haven’t noticed except realizing it doesn’t look like it has a rake like my ‘17 did. 

I just bought cheap 285/45/22 all seasons for cost at the moment, but want to swap to larger AT or MT tires at some point, looks like I could fit considerably more tire in front and rear without any suspension mods?

A spacer clears the caliper but now the bad thing is your truck isn't hub centric anymore and is now lug centric.  Gm trucks don't like to be lug centric.  The max spacer thickness that can be used is 3mm (1/8") to remain hub centric.  There's only one place I know that makes a 3mm spacers for these trucks.

I don’t care to have spacers to begin with, that’s why they are sold. Currently installing the new setup. I will post pics when done

No, your suspension is not different with the RST.

 

The rake on my RST Z71 with 20's is barely noticeable. It's much less than the K2s, for sure.

New setup on. And I love it

Black Rhino Roku 17x9.5 +12 offset

315/70/17 BFG ko2

Very minimal rub, barely touches the back mud flap on the inner side

I’m on a 2 inch ready lift level

What brand spacers you get

Got YitaMotor off amazon. Normally i purchase Bora, but wasnt sure 1 1/2" would work, and didnt want to go threw the hassle of returning with Bora. But I have to say that this brand I got off Amazon seems to be just as good. 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C9ZFB4H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Note: I did not have to cut any studs for these to work. These stock wheels are notched in the back so any stud that pokes out after the spacer has a place to go.

Any noticeable vibrations at highway speeds?

None. I drive 35 mins every day at an average speed of 65-70mph and have no vibrations to report.

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
