Just got my ready lift 2” sst lift kit installed today. Had it done at the dealer. Took a few hours. Also got the alignment done as well. Drove it home and it feels good. Can definitely feel a bit bigger ride height and angle. Truck is very dirty so I’ll wash it tomorrow and get some proper photos

So that lift kit was just to raise the front? I thought it already came with a factory 2” lift. I hadn’t really paid much attention.

Not really sure yet. Still learning a lot about Chevy and the truck world... I plan on keeping this truck for a while.   That being said, I had to get the front windows tinted. Got them to m

Got the new wheels on and I'm really happy with what I went with. These are Fuel Block D751, 18X9 -12 offset. Wrapped in the same Toyo Open Country R/T

The easiest one out of the three. Just open the hood and find the right spot. Twist and pull it out. Hope these picture help. Just remember that if you put the new bulb in and it doesn’t work, take ou

Technically the kit raises the Front 2' and the Rear 1' (got blocks for the rears). The truck does come with a factory 2" lift but its in all four which still has the rack effect. Which I really don't like (my euro car side coming out). With this kit installed, I am now at exactly at 41.25 inches from the ground to the fender on all four tires.

Cool picture, where have you been going for the snow? Snoqualmie? 

 

I need to head to the Crystal Mountain area soon, while the snow is still here.

Thanks, I went up to Snoqualmie pass for some snow photos. Crystal should still have some snow on it.

Yea, few miles outside of Enumclaw you start seeing it, by the time you hit Greenwater it is plied up pretty good, just gets deeper as you go up 410.

How much did the dealer charge for the level and alignment ?

I bought the kit for $550 and the dealer charged me like $500'ish for the install/alignment.

I tried taking the chrome z71 badge off last week to dip it black but I ended up breaking it so I got the replacement in today

You should tint the fog lights. That would look good since they're the last chrome thing on the front end.

Finally completed the Version 1 look that I wanted since I've got the truck. Added the 2" spacers and Toyo Open County R/T in 35x12.5R18

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
