Question.....I'm considering going with a 4" suspension lift (Rough Country), will the truck actually have a 6" lift afterwards?  Meaning in addition to the existing 2"?  I was told yesterday that it would "replace" the existing 2" & just be the 4".  Please chime in for me on this anyone.  Thanks in advance.

Not a big fan of RC. I’d spend the money and get a decent product. It would be an additional 4 inches, so 6 total. That’s how BDS’s is at least

When I pulled the TB coilovers apart I was surprised to not see a top spacer, so Rancho has made a strut with a taller bottom perch for the TB create some lift in the front. So if your using the same strut and adding a RC spacer it would be a total of around 6.

You would be replacing and not adding, so it would be 4inch lift as the RC lift is advertised. The only way you would be adding to the GM TB lift is if you added a level kit to it as some have done.

You will be 4 " taller than you currently are now. You will be 6" taller than standard silverado that is not a trail boss.

I see where you are getting 6” , 4" RC + 2" TB lift will give you 6" total.

At the end of the day, I want this truck to be 4" higher than it currently sets OR 6" higher than a regular 2019 1/2 ton.

I really like this set up......213036542_TBLIFT.jpg.c8e3d587f3c84783b78ef79d0688512f.jpg

Looks great, cant tell what kit they're running tho. If you're going for strictly looks and decent offroad ability, i'd go with either of these options for the 4" (6" total) kits

Yep, was looking at these today. 

Ironically, I live 30ish miles away from where these are made here in Coldwater, MI.

I would be off road very little to be honest.  Daily driver.

Yea, the bds kits look great. I'd go with just the suspension lift kit then, it's roughly 2k cheaper!

if your goin 6in your basically scrapping out the TB lift.....only keeping the cv axles, or you should anyways

 

and yeah I would get BDS or Zone..CST, and probably a few others as well...… .I wouldn't choose an RC.

 

new coilovers in front.....even if you don't offroad, just better geometry, handling, and overall ride and you never know maybe youll get a wild hair up your ass once its done....

 

plenty have regretted cheaper lesser kits but try to find someone who has regretted a proper one!

 

60k truck deserves better, lol...….

RC supposedly getting better and they have new coilover so....just make sure the angles are good and coilover will give you better ride and use of all travel you have

Now I'm thinking of just a 2" lift (total of 4") & having no rake in the front (level).  With that idea could I use the stock rims & go with a bigger 18" tire & still have a good look?  Thinking a 35" tire?

Ideas???

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
