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!

    • If it has a stick I can have fun with it. When my wife first got her Acura years ago I used to tease her about it. I was only interested in muscle cars. They’re gone now. So once a month I drive the Acura. Every once in a while I’ll take it to Redline. But just normal driving on some twisty back roads usually does the trick. 
    • I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.
    • In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.
    • Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks
    • NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
