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

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.
