Hey everyone I’m new here and hoping you can help me answer some questions I have. I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 and I want to lift it but am trying to figure out what size I should get. I’m going back and forth between a 4 and a 6 inch lift. For those of you who have those sizes, how tall does your truck sit? How many inches from the ground to the fender well?

It's pretty easy to figure this out going by a stock 32" tire+-

4" lift and say 33" tires= roughly 4.5" taller. 4" from the lift, 1/2" from the tire.

6" lift and 35's would be around 7.5" taller. 6"from the lift, 1.5" from the tire.

Mine is lifted 9" with 37's

It's 11.5" -12" taller.

Make sense?2bfddc8f7a41a4271d86d12bdb453382.jpg8e971b485bba1e6dac68d581f7c34509.jpg

The offset is what really matters, since mine is same height but sticking out still rubs at full lock. They chargIng me 400$ to cut more and clean up what the rim shop cut

This is all I had to cut . Plastic on valance . Lower portion removed. I have tons of room.
20x10 -19 offset 37x12.50
No rubs except in reverse full lock hitting a bump.178e437b4d3e0040b7eb3762caf06701.jpg3d4a5b886d28a56c03aff164c7c9905e.jpg

Mine is 24x14 offset was 76 (idk negative or positive ?) 37x13.5 it definitely rubs at full lock and when turning 3/4 lock if that make sense ? 3A21E7DB-486E-4887-9FF0-84BEFA61BA54.thumb.jpeg.95e60a6f37dba9fe00f3fdcf61eb1a88.jpeg

They don’t look actually look this far out in person ? it looks perfect for some reason this picture makes them look half way sticking out ? 6CD65505-8A66-40DA-A436-DF80AD9F9744.thumb.jpeg.99807d374cc3a85339d6b89be347109c.jpeg

Be aware of the fact that if your involved in an accident with a modified vehicle you can be held liable even if not  at fault. Your insurance company more than likely will cancel your policy for cause and just walk away. The  damages and jury awards are then your responsibility.

I’ve never heard of this, what insurance does this? What about lifted vehicles that are from the dealership?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
