I love that stance.  What shoe size and style are you running?  I'm considering this lift package along with airbags for better towing performance.  Does your truck have a factory suspension lift?

I ordered the front 2.5"/rear 2" and shock extenders yesterday.  I'm still running the original 265 65 18 tires so it will look a little funny until I get new ones after these wear out.  Only 7800 miles on them so I can't bring myself to replace them yet even though they look like passenger car tires to me.  I saw a set of BFG AT in 275 65 18 on facebook marketplace for $950 with original 18" chevy rims.  Good tread but I have the same rims.

Ullose272, what did you pay for the TB take offs and how did you locate them?  I like those black rims much better than the brushed aluminum I have.

 

Something else that occurred to me is if I go with loadrange E tires and run more pressure (something like 50psi) isn't that going to have my TPMS erroring out all the time?  That could get annoying.

The dealer put the TB wheels on it, its how it was on the lot. Just because you have E rated tires doesnt mean you need to run more air, i have always run about 40psi in my E rated tires in the past and bumped them up when towing.

Anyone running a 1” black in the back instead of the 2” provided? 

I looked for the 1" but couldn't confirm it would fit the 2020 so I ordered the 2" instead.

Interested to see if anyone has uses a 3" Front 2" rear level kit on a 2020 Sierra? 

Loved this look on my 2016 Silverado, but the local mechanic doesn't reccomend a 3" front on the 2019/2020 MY.

I installed a 1" block on my 2020 1500 LT myself and wasnt hard at all. I have the 2" RC in the front and considering the  2.5" motofab because im right at 1/2" difference between front and back.

I think the instructions say that from the factory they already have a 1" block. You actually have to remove it to install the replacement. I wonder if there are guys that have left it in and get a larger lift then expected!?!

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
