Installed the Motofab 2.5'' top spacer for the front this weekend. Before installing the measurements were 37.75'' in front and 39.75'' in the back measuring from the ground to the bottom of the fender. Initially after install the measurement up front was 40.25'', but after driving around and letting the suspension components settle it evened out to be perfect at 39.75'' all around.

 

I put rear blocks on my last 2013 Sierra and after about 2 years I was back to the ''raked out'' look that comes from factory. I'm going to opt out of putting blocks in the back this go around since I assume that it will continue to settle a little over time. With just this I have more than enough room for 35's on the factory wheels without out doing control arms and trimming.

Hey there. Any issues with rubbing with that setup? I want to do the exact thing.   I see ur in a parkade. No clearance issues? What type of leveling kit did u use?

Thx.

2020 AT4 with readylift SST front lift only, 295/60R20 ridge grapplers, 20x9 +1 offset fuel vandals. Mud flap mod will get rid of the rubbing. Only rubs at full lock in reverse.

I’ve been thinking about this size of tire but wasn’t sure how bad it would rub with my 1.5” level. Got pictures of your mud flap trimming?

Tire and wheel Combo look great on that truck.

Thanks dude, I'll take some pics after I'm done. 1.5 I think would be pushing it. The SST lift got me almost 2" and it's a significant rub but not on the frame itself. Just removing the mud flap bracket got rid of it but I still want more clearance.

Here's mine.  2020 GMC Elevation with 2" AT4 OEM lift.  I wasn't happy with the feel of the front Ranchos so I replaced them with the Rough Country 3.5" lift struts, which gives me an additional 1.5" for leveling.

35x12.50r20 Yokohamas fit on a 2.5 inch level. But only just. Have to trim the the flap. But UCA's and sway bar are clear.

Didn’t want to start a new thread and I’ve had trouble finding this online. Does anyone know what the factory front coil spring rate/weighting is?

 

I’m leaning towards the King coil overs for suspension upgrade and leveling. Coil options come at 600lbs (which I’m leaning towards) or 700lbs.

 

Im just curious how they compare to factory stock oem rates, if they’re 600 lbs too or if it’s less. Thx!

    • On 2021 3500hd it consistently sets automatically when selecting park if the incline/decline is above a certain angle. 
    • Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks. 
    • Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions? 
    • 2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!  
    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
