just wondering what are GM's numbers for front and rear lift parts, I see the RST sits about 3" higher than a LT 1500, what else is different

i have stock 2WD with Gov lock ,2016 LT truck, looking to do some gold prospecting and exploring here in California and AZ , so I travel lots of dirt roads, I'm scraping a lot in the ruts and need a 2-3" lift, but dont want to change my stock wheel tire combo

 

i noticed several new 2020 rst trucks sit much higher than mine and wonder if GM has done a lift on these vs My LT truck?

 

i do like the front camera option, as i can never see where i'm going when i round the top of a hill for decent..

I don't think you hit a nerve.

 

It seems to me from reading all of it that you walked into a lack of understanding as to why a T1 truck sits higher than your 2016 LT 2wd.  

 

Both trucks are nothing alike.  T1 is taller, longer, wider the frame sits a touch higher off the ground, etc.  Its apples to oranges.

Sure you did, your own.

 

You came in here with a complete misunderstanding of what you were even asking and then got defensive with some silly "pop off" remark that had nothing at all to do with your original question.  The comment made absolutely no sense to the topic at hand which meant you probably felt some insecurity about something and instantly went into "Defend and Justify" territory about your 2016 truck.   A nerve was definitely hit, but it was yours, and nobody knows why but you.  

 

I'm glad you enjoy your 2016, hopefully as much as we enjoy our T1's, and I also hope it serves you well.  In the end maybe you will learn more about it than what you currently know.  Good Luck.

Don't take credit for my accomplishments.  Clearly, I'm the one that hit your nerve.  All I did was speak truthfully.  You wanted the truth, but couldn't handle it.

sounds like your asking if a 2021 GM lift will fit your truck it wont, the back probably will but front probably wouldnt.........you can just buy same type of lift thru eibach, fox, bilstein to fit your truck......problem solved

 

they are basic strut lifts with block in the back.....nothing special

Lol.  That's, verbatim, exactly what I said in post #7 before you got your feelings hurt.

 

Egg is on your face now.  I think you owe everybody an apology.  I won't wait around to see it happen.  I doubt you'll do it.

 

Btw, I don't think the rear blocks, U-bolts, etc will work on the older trucks.  The T1xx frame is wider.

i never got my feelings hurt, thats the problem with forums, social media and texting, its hard to convey emotion. people take things the wrong ways due to lack of facial expresions or verbal emotions.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
