I’m thinking of fitting 5 inch / 6 inch / 6.5 inch lift kit , tires will be 315 /75 / 17 .

Looking for some one with the same tires and any of the above lift as I have a constraint that the total height of the my Sierra should not exceed 2 meters ( work underground parking max height is 2 m ) . Need to decide which lift kit height to buy .

Appreciate if someone can guide me .

 

Thanks

I have a 6 inch, and your tires are about an inch taller than mine.  I'm sitting at about 2.0574m.  I think you might even be pushing it with a 4" if trying to stick with that tire size.  Maybe size down?

Lift it 8", keep it at home. Then buy a used Chevy Cruise to commute to work with and fit in the parkade? I dunno man, you're in a pickle here. I know my stock height 2500 with a back rack cant go in most parking garages. I had to back down 2 floors when the roof clearance shrank in one garage and all the stalls were full. That was fun, with everyone pulling in behind me. I think my levelled Sierra on 33's is close to 2m tall. I will check it tonight after work.

Looks like a better option , use the other car and keep this one for the open roof trips . The issue I really like this car , the space the comfy , I like to drive it rather than the other car , I did some research and 6 inch kit with 285 tires is almost what I’m looking for - now I’m stuck with other issue , 6 inch lift kit requires 18 inch wheels or more and the the wheels I have is 17 inch - so still looking for a kit that allows 17 inch wheels
Thanks for the help .

I’m not sure where you guys are getting your numbers. My 2015 CCSB 4WD per the OEM description (new for 2015 pdf media file)  is 74 inches in height. The long bed is 73.8”

thats 4.75-4.95 inches from impact.  

 

So No, No lift kit to still be able to drive into that garage.

 

I realize that 2M is the lowest point, somewhere, but still that’s awfully low. When is the last time you parked in a garage and were less that six inches from striking your head?

 

If there’s a speed bump in the parking garage, you’re done. I think you’re flirting with disaster.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
