Ok reason i ask os because im thinking of getting one for my lowered truck. (Sounds dumb but i have reasons) and i want to be able to put back to stock if needed.  

The lower frame brackets don't actually serve any functional purpose, from my understanding they were put in place to meet federal safety guidelines to meet frame rail height requirements, but their honestly just a chunk of metal welded under the frame rails.

 

That would look really clean on your truck to be honest. If there's room for adjustment this would let you go even lower also

Your truck is awesome!  What size tires you running?  I really like that setup with the smaller rim large tire look, always thought it looks better!

New updates-

Will be getting the spare tire/bed organization handled. This will be a production item built by SDHQ Offroad, the design will be very similar to their other chase racks currently available for other platforms. It will give me room to mount two spare tires, a floor jack, additional fuel etc. 

 

One of the best parts is it's entirely bolt in !

Pre-Drilled holes for Power Tank mount and full size floor jack mount in between the two spare tires.

Prepping for the summer in Arizona decided to order the new Mishimoto Trans cooler to get temps down, also added a Mishimoto Aluminum Radiator while the front end was taken apart.

 

 Trans Cooler-

  •  adds an extra 0.65 quarts
  • thermal bypass valve delete allows fluid flow to the cooler at all times

3 Row Radiator-

  • 45% Increase in core volume over the stock radiator

  • 45.45% increase in coolant capacity

  • 92% Increase in tube surface area over the stock radiator

  • 74% Increase in fin surface area over the stock radiator

The Mishimoto trans cooler is a night and day difference. Here are some weekend results-

Around town driving/10mins on the Freeway temps consistently stay bellow 155 Degrees

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Glad that worked, and in this case that is all on Autel for somehow dropping the ball for not updating the GMC section properly.    I believe in the basic section or unless it is in the advanced, when one does a check of lets say individual sensors for what the pressure is ( and it shows a temperature as well ) , I think it picks up on what the model number of the sensor is in a certain section where you choose "OE" sensor or at least mine is telling me what the model number is and matches to what they actually are and that is the number I quoted in a prior post.    I don't recall now if I had said prior that I discovered with my truck anyway that no matter how low I set the placard pressure for the rear tires, if the physical pressure is under 35 psi and I drive it for about 15 miles the pressure warning will come on for one or both rear tires. I am speculating that there is something else in the trucks system that over rides the placard pressure setting once it drops below that minimum pressure to run a metric LT tire at. The weird thing is it does not trigger right away after driving a shorter distance, it took that longer drive for it to trigger. Just something to keep in mind if you were experimenting with pressures below 35 pounds for a tire designed for lower pressures ( larger than stock floatation series tires ) and not being overloaded of course.

      I've seen a scant few YT vids on them, but it's always in a performance application.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      No clue. Service advisor said he'd call me this morning, which I'm 99% sure won't happen. They had the truck 5 days, and I didn't hear a peep. Finally had to call them yesterday. I guess they'd be content to just let the truck sit in perpetuity.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      I had a little bit of time before I left for work this morning, so I plugged the scanner back in, and I selected Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra, and the very first option was for a 2026 so I selected that one and I seen at the bottom it had the option for psi change unlike in the 2026 GMC Sierra, I selected that option and it took a little longer than the usual vehicle not supported, and sure enough I got into it, and it let my change the psi values.. I no longer have the low psi warning light!   Thank you for recommending me to try it under Chevrolet instead! I can confirm this device does work for a 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 hd 6.6 diesel  just have to select Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra.   Maybe I'll contact Autel and let them know of that issue and maybe they will fix it for the GMC option  because some people probably return the scanner due to it not working under GMC Sierra.
