So, I added a 2" upper spacer from motofab and a rear 1.5" spacer.  It looks perfectly level though the back end is 0.5 higher.

 

The lift massively jacked up my alignement and I had ESC warning lights going off.  I had it aligned at NTB and the lights when away, however it did not feel right.  It had a bit of tendency to pull right, but overall it felt okay otherwise.

 

I had it rea-aligned by NTB and they changed all the settings.  Now it steers pretty straight, but almost too straight.  The wheel wants to recenter to the point that it takes more than normal force to turn.  Its not crazy high, but it is more than a 2019 truck with power steering should be.  When you let go of the wheel in a turn it rapidly recenters.

 

Does anyone know what specs I should actually be setting this truck to?  I looked it up and there are like eight to ten different alignment specs for the T1.  Not sure if I should be using trailboss specs or the stock specs. 

 

I knwo the trailboss calls for an update to the power steering force after installation.  Could this be my issue?  I had no issues at all with my 2014 with billsteins.

 

Thanks

Would the 2” lift that GM sells have the right specs or get u closer? After my install, I went to dealer for software calibration and alignment. They used specs from lift kit, but it doesn’t list numbers on install page.

Maybe.  I'm not sure what to use.  I theory this should he the same.  Those TB struts are doing effectively what this kit is doing.  They driveshafts shouldn't change alignment.  I'm pretty sure the upper control arms are the same.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
