I had the 20" Baja Designs S8 kit installed:

Also did the Baja Designs squadron pro pillar lights:

I paid to have everything installed, so I can't speak to the installation per se, but everything fits perfect.  I do know that the grill light mounting kit won't work for the LTZ or high country grill, as another user experienced, but worked perfect in my Trail Boss.

 

I bought the switches and plate from https://billetautomotivebuttons.com/ and choose the colored LED buttons that light up when pressed.

I installed the Baja Design 20" bar on Monday. It's a fairly simple install as they send the brackets and the electrical cable from battery to dash switch.

 

You can watch a couple videos on YouTube to learn how to get the grill off. But be warned you don't take the grill all the way off, you tilt the top forward so you can reach in and loosen the 4 bolts that hold the mounts on. They slide into a space at the bottom of the grill, so the grill needs to be on.

 

I took the switches off the wires, taped them to a wire snake and pushed them thru a rubber "nipple" that Chevy puts on each side of the firewall for future wire runs. You need to cut the tip of the nipple off to thread the snake/wire thru. It was pretty tight so I squirted some silicon spray on it, then it went in pretty easy. It comes out in the cab above the gas pedal. 

 

I have finished with the install of the switches, because I don't like the ones Baja Design includes. They don't match anything in the truck. I'll wait to find better switches that look more "stock". 

 

Here's a photo of the hi beams, then the LED bar:

All good! Weird it's showing 749 for me looking at the link swiftks posted. Assuming it's the same one?

It's the same. I purchased it at Battle Born Offroad. They had a lower price + a store discount.

 

If you want to purchase thru Baja Design, just call them and they'll pretty much give you a 10% discount.

 

Here's a photo of the box & light, then another photo of the switches I don't like.

2019 Sierra Denali 30 inch straight single stack Black Oak tight fit but I’m very happy with how it worked out. I had the 40 or 42 inch curved  but just could not get it to fit.

Hello all, new to the site so if this has been answered I apologize.  I purchased a 2021 AT4 1500 a few months back and have been looking at LED lights for the grill and wanted a 30" bar, love this install!  Do you have any pix of the mounting and brackets you picked up from Depot?  Of all things I am a service manager for a Ford store but we also own a GMC/Chevy store, figured I'd go to the dark side for a while, love the truck, just needs more lights.  When I had my F-250's it was easy but not a lot of room to play here.  Thanks in advance!

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By txab · Posted

      Without knowing how bad your banging is, one suggestion is the intermediate steering shaft on the steering wheel. These used to be a problem on 800 and earlier series. The feeling/sound was sometimes described as "clunking" and was felt in the wheel. Also there is a plastic piece in the lower column that is referred to as a bearing. Not your traditional looking bearing though. Your ball joints, bushings and tie rods or steering rack (if equipped) are the main point of issues. You never mention total unit miles, only that you've put 60k on it.   You can search the site for help on the ISS description. Plenty of these have been replaced   https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=site%3Agm-trucks.com+intermediate+steering+shaft&ia=web

      Yes I have is set with the 1mm disk (Minumim Tension), for spring spacing and I raised my truck in the rear 1.5". You can go 2mm  and I think 3mm if you need.Minimum. We are on our way to TN from GA.. My wife is driving and stated she cannot believe  and   stated she can not belive the difference.

      Most 1 ton trucks come with the factory overload spring, which need to be removed for installation of RoadActive Suspension. Removing the overload allows proper fitment and ensures the system works as intended. The RAS® Mega-Duty kit will reduce squat and provide significant improvement vs the factory overload spring.

      I wonder as well, why they would send me a text message with links to these suggested procedures totalling over $10,000 without even the slightest hint of how they arrived at these being necessary.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.
