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!?!

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
