Hey folks,

I just bought a '19 Sierra Denali crew cab 4 x 4 with Adaptive Ride Control. I want to add a 1.5" or 2" spacer to the front in order to make the truck sit level.

 Internet reading and a couple of lift kit tech guys suggest that there may be some programming necessary after a kit is installed. Others say it is not. Has anyone done this that can give me a firsthand report on what kit you installed, and what exactly is involved?

 

Thanks,

Brad

Did they figure out if they have a kit that works?

It took RC 1 day to figure out my truck. All I did was level the front... they fabbed up a bracket to relocate a sensor, and otherwise just used 2018 part I think. That was before Christmas; I don't k

Well, I did. Got a bunch of "I don't know" or still working on it replys... That is why I assumed that somebody out there is as impatient as I am, bu maybe has had their truck longer... (I got mine on Saturday...)

Dropping it off tomorrow at Rough Country's R&D shop. They suspect that they will have to relocate a sensor in order to make the standard kit work with no effect on the ARC...

I also have a 2019 GMC Sierra Denali that I am wanting to lift.  So far everyone is telling me that they dont have kits yet.  Can any of you give me any advice. My preferred lift will be 4"... more than the AT4 but not as tall as 6".  Any information on quality lift would be much appreciated.

That was before Christmas; I don't know how long it will take to get that out there into a kit... but it is working beautifully, with no electrical glitches or other issues.

Thank you for the information.  Couple of follow up questions if you dont mind.  Are you in GA.  If so what location did you take it?  Second, did you increase the tire size and did you keep the wheels.  I like the wheels alot and hope to increase tires while keeping the wheels.

Southern Offroad in GA will be doing my truck in the next week or two.  They do a ton of lifts and looked over the truck.  They said that the Official Tested 6" lift is out but the 4" lift was just taken back to the design table to make some adjustments due to performance.  I am going with a 2" level kit but in the case of the 19 Denali it is already level to the most part so it will require a 2" block front and rear.

I called Rough Country today and they told me they were a few weeks out on the Adaptive Ride Control?    I”m driving a 2018 stock Denali now but wanted to do lift, wheels, and tires immediately when I get My 2019 in a few days?   Any pics or what size tires anybody else running?

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Post Pics of your "Other" Rides

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
