I never heard of leveling kits until arfcom. I've been adding them to new trucks for years. Relatively inexpensive ($1200 installed) and allows for 33inch x 11.5inch tires. Pretty popular with the younger crowd. Y'all are busting heads @ $1200 bucks

So no warranty when the CP4 blows to shit. I waited until 30k miles. Saved me about a grand since prices for kits blew up around that time when the EPA started cracking down.. But i already had the kit.

No no no no no!!!!! 
I'm one of the suspension engineers on that truck. DO NOT put a leveling kit on it. I can list a thousand reasons why its a bad idea. It's designed to run right where it is. Seriously, the forward rake is there for aerodynamics and to make sure that, even when loaded to GVW, your bed line will never have a negative rake. Nobody wants their truck to look like it is dragging its tail. With that said... Nice truck! Enjoy it!

That has to be the worst or close to the worst engineering GM has ever come out with. Even on a paved road there's huge risks of running over something that will take that right out. Any fucking moron would see that!

nice truck op!
what you guys are seeing is a plastic skid plate for the def tank, the actual def tank is higher and close to level with the bottom of the frame. mine drives and tows fine with a leveling kit, they are personal preference imo, I wanted a little more front end clearance since I almost ripped the valance off the front bumper within the first few weeks of having the truck. pics of mine for reference with leveling kit and ranch hand front bumper: 
Ive been really happy with mine so far, trying to wear the stock tires out before i get some thing better, looks like it will fit 35s no problem. I just need to find a yeti sticker for it so gd can hate it more! |

The spacer goes inbetween the lower shock mount and the A frame. Does not change ride quality.

Weather tech complete floor mats. 20% tint on all windows. Locking folding bed cover. Go to semi truck place and get Allison filters cheaper than dealer, check prices. The little spin on oil filter on the tranny. I changed all fluids and filters at 1K miles on my new 2006. Then ran Mobil 1 in diffs, Rotella T synthetic was good for 10K miles according to Blackstone labs, but I did 5-7500 mile oil changes. The big air filter use Napa gold/Wix, same with oil filter. I put a 90 gallon gravity fed toolbox/tank in mine. It fit under bed cover. And with factory tank at say 28 gallons, 128 gallons you can go 2K miles without fueling. Congrats and nice truck. Gay. |

It was tight under there before, and THEN they came along and made us add the DEF bs.
If anyone deserves a swift kick in the nuts, it's FBHO and his stooges at the EPA. |

Always start with removing the dealers stickers, and then tint the windows and eyebrow the windshield.

Update, that new truck has 1500 miles on it... It's broken.
It's at the dealer for warranty work. DEF system throwing errors, seams to be a sensor error. knew it would happen.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I have no idea why they make a 4x4 truck that, well, frankly CAN'T go off road due to all the low hanging shit. OP, 1st thing to do is lose the air dam. 2nd thing, lose the girly tires. Because they need to meet CAFE standards, and the air dam makes a substantial difference. But as far as I know, there is no law against removing it, the minute you get it home. Here in the upper midwest, they will get ripped off eventually, usually when you go through a frozen pile of snow from the plow, at the end of a driveway or wherever. I broke one once on an off-ramp of the interstate. Plow left a big mound at my exit. |
