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

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
