My 2019 4x4 Denali does not have any block either. This is the first of the 7 4x4 gm trucks that I’ve had over the years that doesn’t have a block. My last truck was a 2016 that I put a 6 inch lift in. Not going to go that tall with this truck and I still have the 1 1/4” blocks and  u-bolts from that one. Planning on using them with the 2” level I got from rough country to keep some rake for towing and hauling.

I added the 1 inch block from fabtech's 3 inch lift.

Sure did. Here’s a picture. Love this setup 2” level up front 1-1/4” block in the rear. 33x12.5x22 on stock rims. Had this setup for about 9 months and have never rubbed once. No trimming at all. Also

I put a leveling kit on my HC and it was about 1/2 inch high in the front. Yesterday I put my toolbox and all the crap that stays in the back and now I'm almost 2 inches high in the front. Is there a

This is who should help.  You claim the truck was nose high when you picked it up.   Have them install a level that affords you a little rake to carry a small load.

I just emailed Fabtech to see about just the 1 inch block and U bolts that is in their 3.5 in kit. They emailed me back

Will i be able to run 35s with a 2" level on my 19 1500?

Is it a Trailboss/AT4?  Are you planing on using stock rims or aftermarket ones?  That's gonna make a big difference

I actually just installed a 2.5 RC in the front, no block in the rear. 18" XD Bully's w 35" nittos. Had to use 1/4" spacer to clear the front calipers. Then had to do some minor trimming to the interior wheel wells. Hasn't rubbed yet.

Did you install the level and rear block? Any side pics showing the rake? Thanks.

Looks good. I’m doing the same this week. I still have my rear block from my last truck also. I haven’t decided about exhaust yet. I am enjoying the quiet smooth ride. My last truck I was going to leave stock and within a month I had lifted with new tires, exhaust, intake, tune and bed cover.

I have a 2" up front ant 1.5 rear.   I got it on ebay with the u bolts.  Easy to install. Also added the 2" rear shock extensions.  They were motofab.  Sits on 33" BFGs

A couple more questions as I am doing the same this weekend ran out of time last weekend. I did get my bed cover installed though. Do your running boards clear in the full aft position and you do not have any spacers correct?

Considering this for my 2019. Were these blocks flat? does your truck have the small factory shims, if so did you leave them on or take them off, any noticeable vibrations?

Thanks

Honestly I didn't do anything special.  I just bought the kit and slapped it on.  I believe they were flat.  And I don't recall any factory shims when I did it.  No vibration at all. Truck rides very smooth. Maybe a little rougher shock absorption on rear end over speed bumps.  But I've also added air bags and that makes it stiffer too

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
