Can't tell if your trying to be a comedian here or if your serious?  It wasn't really very funny and it didn't really make any sense!  If you don't care about this topic, don't follow along.

To me 2" is 2" no matter how you get it. Wether you put it on the top, bottom or middle it still increases the cv and ball joint angles. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

Was going to install mine last night but it's arriving late. Tires just showed up though. Gonna go get them mounted. Hopefully it'll be in the mailbox this afternoon and I'll get it on tonight. So I can get my alignment in the am.

Hey, can you post a pic of your light bar? What brand did you get, did you install or dealer?  Just curious what model P/N#, and how it is wired....

I just installed a leveling kit from zone off road on a 2019 trail boss and the top spacer should have a smaller hole in it so that the upper strut mount rubber cusion has something to rest on instead of a 5/8 in gap between the top mount and frame this looks like a upper strut mount failer problem down the road

I'm looking into this kit, in the instructions it looks like it all goes together with out gaps.  I'm having some difficulties understanding/picturing what you are describing.

Did you really put 2" spacers on this poor truck!?!?  How long are the wheel studs!?!?  Hard to comprehend...

When you go that big they don't use extended studs. the spacers have its own built in studs and then the spacer bolts to the hub.

Anyone have a good amount of miles on there setups? I worry about shaking issues. 

I haven't had any shaking issues or any other issues. I've had the setup for almost 2,000 miles and I drive a lot of highway around 70mph. City and highway driving has been fine. Feels stock.

Have you had any issues with this leveling kit? How many miles do you have on the kit now? Any issues with the Upper Control Arms?

I am having this kit installed tomorrow with TOYO MT 295/70R18’s on factory wheels.

Greetings all, 

 

 

I've been reading all the lift / lvl threads I can these days.  Here is what I can contribute...

 

I bought my truck brand new off a dealer with 285 65 20s installed.  I asked the service rep at the dealer what did they do to the truck since that wasn't stock.  Said they added a spacer up front.   I asked about an problem with wear and tear or warranty issues he said nope.   Makes me wonder if a dealer is willing to install suspension mods on every single one of their AT4s just how much premature wear and tear can be expected? The truck is under warranty and I can't imagine a dealer would compromise these trucks to the point they are going to have a slue of folks showing back up to their service department needing all new front end suspensions.

 

I'm currently deoyed, so I can't take and measuments for a bit.  But I am more and willing to do so when I get back home.  I do remember measuring the height distant from the ground to the body and the rear was under and inch taller.

 

 

I'm no mechanic.  If there are issues with these mods, where should I inspect or be on the look out for?

I noticed in another thread the listed parts for the Trailboss’s lift don’t include arms or any steering parts. 

 

Basically it is a leveling lift. Probably means that putting a 2” level on top of it would have your arms WAY out of whack. 

You are 100% correct. They come with longer struts and do not correct the geometry

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
