Following up on my earlier question about using an AT4 front strut assembly to lift a non AT4 4x4 SLT truck...I have done it and here are the results. 

 

Front suspension - stock AT4 strut with 3/8” aluminum spacers under strut on the lower control arm. (I made these on a lathe)

Rear suspension - 2” block kit 

 

Tires - Nitto Terra Grappler 285/65/20 on stock 20” wheels.

 

This set up has no rubbing at all and has not yet required me to do any trimming.

I have the same truck as you and intent to install a 2'' front leveling kit with 1'' rear block and was wondering which size of tires would fit in the front without rubbing.

Do you know how much your set up  lifted the front from original stance?

Thanks .

I’m curious, I have a coil spring compressor and wondering if I could take enough tension off the strut to get the block under it without unbolting the ball joints and such.

 

Whats everyone’s thoughts on that? This would be on an AT4

Anyone leveled a 19 sle with x31 if so what size leveling kit to make it level? 

 

Did you measure your fender wells in the front and rear yet?

No not yet 



Try that first. That’ll tell you what height you need to make it appear level or close to it.

Anyone running the 2” rough country leveling how was the ride after install?

2" Rough County 1318 level

295/60R20 (34" x 11.7") Nitto Ridge Grapplers

The ride has not changed, and I am very impressed.  The truck is perfectly level, and I have no rubbing; it is very close on the upper control arm at full lock.  I am impressed with the CV and upper ball joint angles.

Did you remove the factory leveling kit and put the rough county one in its place?


What factory level kit? The AT4/TB comes with a factory lift kit but no level.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.
