Did you use the spring spacer that the kit came with? Not sure why they want you to take the spring off, put the spacer on and compress the crap out of it. I feel like it would ruin the ride.????

I did this on my Trail Boss and did use the spring spacer.  Looking back I would just skip it.  It's only .25 inches and it did help the ride slightly but not worth the time it took to do it.

I have seen a lot of level kits and 6" lifts in the forum but haven't seen any T1's with the ReadyLIFT 4" SST yet so here's my RST.    I wanted to fit 35" on my T1 but didn't want as much e

Good to know yea I wasn’t about to mess with it. 1 I didn’t understand why they would include it in the kit since it doesn’t effect the overall height. 2. I thought it would bind up why coil like crazy. 3. Time! Haha. The ride feels stock, still need to do an alignment but waiting for the new wheels and tires to go on first.

Unrelated question.....is that a Ronin antenna?

No it’s from advanced auto parts, my ronin is coming for Christmas. My fiancé was pissed when she saw I got a new antenna ?

I am currently debating on this lift but I drive 70 miles a day. How bad did it affect the fuel mileage ? Thanks

Hard to say. Really depends on a lot of things. Mainly what wheels and tires you go with and your gearing. I have yet to calibrate my speedo so the mileage is gonna be off a bit or maybe a lot I’m not sure. But with my 5.3 with 3.23 gearing(?? I forget??) I was getting 22-27 mpg. Now I’m getting about 16-18mpg. Keep in mind this is with using auto start warm up in the morning and letting the truck run while at the job site at times. I have yet to take it on a good long trip but I doubt I’ll see the 20 mpg mark... let’s just say I was quite surprised at the drop in MPG...

Thanks satin, that’s a huge drop I never seen twenty’s i avg 18 if I stay around 70mph I was thinking I could get atleast 16mpg on 20x12 with 33 or 35 with the lift . And I have the 3.42 rear gears

Yea every day to work 22-24mpg, that’s not babying the pedal either. I took a longer trip over the summer with the stock wheels/tires and my “best 50miles” was 27.4mpg.

that's crazy......absolute best I have seen is 19 on stock 4x4 RST with stock tires and body height.....why do you suppose your getting that MPG?....I only have 5k miles on my truck, did you see better gains after some miles racked on motor.....and how is your calculation measured, by cluster info that it gives?.....

No idea maybe my gearing? It’s set up for highway driving, I think it’s 3.23’s in it, I gotta check the window sticker. But also I’m at relatively low elevation less than 1,000’ so I’ll see better MPG than say someone in Colorado. 
 

this was also when the truck had less than 2,000 miles on it. Now I have about 7k. Those 20mpgs are gone with the lift and tires.

      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.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
