my brother has an 03 silverado and has a 6'' fabtech lift on it....it is an awesome lift he has had it on his truck now for about 3 years and the only thing he has replaced were the shocks...went with the dirt logics.

 

procomp makes a good lift also...it's all about how much you want to spend and also how high you want to go.

 

my truck is lower in the rear because i have torsion keys in the front and also my torsion bars are jacked up a little.

i have a fabtech 6'' on my 2000 silverado and it rides better than the stock suspension HONEST, if you're gonna get a lift you have to do it right! Get a suspension lift, spend the money, ($4,600 is what i payed for rims tires lift and install) and it is well worth it. the only draw back i see is the gas mileage, but the positive far outweigh the negative.

Exactly, quality is the biggest factor here. I paid close to $5200 for my rims, tires and lift all installed. My truck used to bounce all over the place, especially when the road was uneven or rough. Since the lift was installed i have noticed significant improvement in the ride quality without sacrificing payload capacity.

 

BTW, you can also check www.bds-suspension.com. I have the 6" on my truck and i quite like it.

I found Procomp tends to be a little cheaper then most others. I got my 7" Procomp off 4wheelparts.com for a little over $1300 and found most others to be $1500 and more. Try and get free shipping. I Purchased my rims off same site on sale..ProComp Xtreme Alloys 6001s for about $700. Check Ebay for good deals on tires.. 315x75xr16's new, $700 for all 4 w/ free shipping. $2700 for everything.

4Wheel & Off-Road says that the Superlift brand is the best bang for your buck with 35" tires. They priced it from Superlift at $2,147 for the lift and Superlift SSR remote-reservoir shocks. It is a claimed 6 inch lift, but a true 6 1/8" lift. If you do not want the SSR shocks, the base suspension package is $1,725, but then it wouldn't be the best bang for your buck.

 

This information came from when they compared the top 9 suspension companys, RCD, Pro Comp, Trail Master, CST, Skyjacker, Rough Country, Rancho, Superlift, and Rock Krawler.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
