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.

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!

    • Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!  
    • From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

    • True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel. 
    • I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
