Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this but I'll give it a shot! I'm new to the truck world and just picked up a 2015 Sierra 1500 SLE that had some work done by a previous owner (who unfortunately I have no contact info for otherwise I would ask them). I believe that my truck has been leveled in the front and rear, although I cannot seem to figure out how. I'm assuming they added spacers to the leaf springs as those look new (the blocks measure about 3.5") but in the front I can't seem to find anything that looks aftermarket. I've attached some pictures if you guys don't mind letting me know if you can figure it out, I'd be happy to take more if necessary. Thanks for all the great info on this site and I'm looking forward to making a few mods! 

p.s. sorry for all the edits, I tried to re-size and add in images in a better size and messed it up!

p.p.s. apologies for all the rotated images, it it flipped them automatically and I'm not sure how to adjust it, thanks!

You have a huge spacer on top of the strut. Measure the spacer on the top of the strut 

 

Basically just a leveling kit

If the front spacer is 2.5" tall then youre lifted 5" in the front. Way to much for a spacer unless you have an upper arm (which you dont) and a diff drop

Cool! I'm gonna bring it in to a local shop at some point and see if they can tell me anything else or give me any suggestions. Do you know what the stock height was for your rear?

      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.
