Just put some 35s on

NICE My sport bar brother! I love the look but obviously I'm biased. The sport bar gives extra rigidity to the bed, adds shade to the kidos in the back seat, plus a huge safety factor if god forbid you ever have a roll over on your off-road ventures.  Thinking about putting a light bar on mine someday....btw, I looked these things up and on eBay, they are $1100-1200 for the brake-light ones like we have, so it's kinda like having some muscular "bling" on the truck.

Pictures are a little deceiving man. To my eye, I feel like it’s still a hair low in the front. I still measure 1/2” low.

I measured and mine is about half an inch too tall in the front. I am going to contact Readylift about that. Any chance you can send a picture of the angle of your cv axle?

Thank you! I haven't measured but it looks to me like the front is just a hair taller but hopefully it will settle over time. If it doesn't, i might take out the bottom strut spacer and see. I am running a 275/65/20 Nitto Trailgrappler. Can you send me a picture of your truck? Do you have on looking straight on to the front?

It won't settle. What you see is what you got.

This is from the front. I know they are supposed to be a “beefed up” version on the TB or whatever, but the angles really don’t look that bad at all. MUCH better than my previous Tundra I put the same amount of lift on (3.5”). They were all out of whack.

The only thing that looks even a little off, is the upper ball joint. Your kit has new arms which is nice. I may just add new uppers and call it a day.

 

They don’t pop or bind at all even in the extremes of motion. I can just tell the angle is off, and would like to prevent premature wear.

Yeah doesn’t look bad

Just picked this up on Monday. 2019 AT4 with factory installed cold air intake and cat-back exhaust (this combo adds to the 420/460 and makes them 435/469). It's the most beautiful sound I've heard on a truck in recent years! It's the reason I bought this particular truck and not others that were closer to me.

 

Finally pulled the trigger, even though I always said it was too much to pay for a truck.

Looks beautiful!,  wish I could hear that exhaust, bet it sounds mean.?

Got mine from another angle. I can’t get enough of this truck! I don’t miss my HD Denali at all anymore.

Good to know I’m not the only one who came from an HD truck, it’s a big difference but the comfort is way better in these trucks especially the driving seat and the steering wheel

I might miss the HD for towing but that’s only a few times a year, every other day this truck is much nicer to be in.

I still can’t believe I bought a brown truck. I do find her eye catching though.

Tint, black gmc emblems,

and drop shackle for a nice sport truck look. 

Yep! I debadged it, deep tinted it and am dropping it this week. Next wrapping all chrome in piano black. Leaving the gmc logos alone. Only badges left.

Right there with ya. Mine is smokey quartz metallic gmc but still brown. Has a ton of pop to it in the sun and hides dust and dirt well.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 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. 
    • 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.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
