Yep. Thats what lets you move the fender liner back. 

 

Gotcha. I wasn't sure how far toward the frame that bracket extended.

Thanks! And it’s the 5.3.

I noticed after I put a set of  TG2's 285-50-22 (= 33.27-11.69) on my stock wheels with 2' level I had enough room with minor trimming (if at all) to go with the 285-55-22 (= 34.37-11.69).  I was afra

This is how I cut my mid mud flaps after pulling the liner back. I still rub a tad though. I’ll need to either do more trimming or try and pull it back a little more

I put ridge grappler 315/70r17 on my leveled Sierra and had to trim a a lot more. Not sure if it’s because of the wheel size. On the drivers side I will slightly rub the frame if I hit a bump at the right angle and speed. 

 

Are you just running a leveling kit? How does your truck handle the weight of the tires? Are you 5.3 or 6.2? Also what is your wheel width and backspace?

Yes, it has a 2” upper strut level. It handles awesome. I honestly haven’t really noticed much of anything with the weight. I think I’m hovering around 18 mpg combined highway and around town.  It’s the 5.3, plenty on power for everything I do. Wheels are 17x9 with a -12 offset

Looks really good. I’ve been trying to decide on either the 4” or 6” BDS with coil overs. I’m not a fan of making the truck higher than I have to. You’re running the exact tires I want to run. I’m in an SLT with a 6.2 10spd. Thinking about 20x9 or 22x10 with about the same offset.

Why’d you decide on 17” wheels? It looks awesome

With a 4” lift you probably wouldn’t need to do any trimming. I’m not positive, but I’ve also heard the Chevy has more wheel well space, so things should fit better. 
 

I went with the 17 because I like the off-road Baja style look better. Everyone around me has 20’s so this was something a little different.

Makes sense! I like it man. Mines a GMC too, hard to find any running less than a 6” lift & 35s. Either a level or 4” lift and 35s is almost impossible to find. Appreciate the info

I really debated going with a 4” so I could handle 35’s. I might be able to make them work with a skinnier tire. I don’t feel like a 4” is too big if it’s not an at4. 
I also looked into the BajaKits pre- runner kit that would allow 35’s to fit just fine

I'm running nitto 35x12.5 22 on stock 22inch wheels. Has a 2.5 inch level on it. Had to remove mud flaps completely after trying trimming them, zip tie back the liner, and do a norcal mod. At full lock the lugs on the side of the tire will still rub the sway bar.

After some trimming of mud flaps, removing bracket behind fender liner, and tying the fender liner back. Rubbing is gone. So if you’re not scared to trim some plastic it can be done. I think it looks good, let me know what you think. I knew worked on at4, couldn’t find anyone to confirm if would fit a standard level.

Do you think they would clear with a 2” level and 1.5” drop shackles?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
