Very nice which lift did you use ,..is it a 4 inch on top of the factory 2 inch... did you lose much performance and mpgs, I’ve been weighing my options for my 2020 TB...congratulations nice set up.

Thank you.  Yes it’s a 4” on top of the 2” making it 6” all together.  Now keep in mind that this new body style sits higher then previous years so it’s gonna be more like a 8” lift comparing to previous years .  My friends got a 14’ Silverado 1500 with  7.5” lift /35’s mine still is taller then his truck .  Lots of lift options just see what all works in the price range you like .  Can’t really go wrong there all good options .    They run from $1200- several thousand pending on brand and lift size .  If you go more then 6” / 35’s all together then you’ll have problems with a lot of people not being able to get in the truck or when fitting in a two car garage but depends on what your going for .  My truck sits 7’ tall .  Luckily my garage is 8’ but some are 7’ so something to consider as well.  At  6” lift with drop down steps it’s fine for me to get in still (5’10”) unless like my wife who’s 5’3” she has a really tough time getting in it. 
 

  I’ve never noticed any performance changes .  The V8’s have a ton of power and   It’ll still smoke the back tires and fly down the road  .  MPG I get 11 in the city , 14 on the highway .  Stock I believe I was getting 14/17. There’s lots of rolling hills where I live though so may be better in flat terrain.

Thanks for your informative reply, my previous vehicle 17 Sierra regular cab 5.3 had a 7 inch rough country with 35’s and didn’t notice much power loss I’m guess due to light weight of a regular cab..., I’ve seen where some are squeezing in 35’s on these TB with a level.. I just don’t want to cut or tires rubbing on the control arms . I’ve been eyeing the 4 inch RC lift ... thanks again.

Added body color wheel opening moldings to my AT4. 
‘This was about the only option my AT4 was missing. GMC offers these repainted ready to install for around $600

i think they really clean up the look or lines of the truck. Also helps make your wheels and tires look more proportional to fender openings.

Do you have the original where it's just whatever wheel you have?

 

I really like this pic.

They are 35X12.5R18 with 2" spacers to clear the UCA.

    • I hope to high heaven this is wrong. My Chevy farm trucks frame is lasting way longer than a newer Nissan Titan XD I got for a steal, and it only pulls trailers. A decade younger and it's frame is already way rustier than the waxed Chevy I drive across longs and ditches. Also, hasn't Ford been having tones of troubles with rusted frames? 
    • Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty. 
    • AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well
    • If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.
    • That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
