Also, what is this DEF box nonsense? Is this a 2015 and onward emissions thing?
I'm not quite 30 and I already can't stand the technology on contemporary vehicles. I'm going to be an angry old man at this rate. |

Auto emmisions are worse for the environment, as hey are small enough to float on the air. Unlike desiel emmisions that are visable because of the size of the particals that are far to large to float in the air. They mostly fell back to the group a short time later. Now with the def emission systems its just burning it to smaller sizes. |

Beautiful truck I just got a new to me 2010 GMC CCLB I love it so far.
Whatever you do NO GODDAMN STACKS!! EFI Live with tunes by "Idaho Rob" or Kory Willis ...really gets the most out of the Duramax's potential AirDog II 4G lift pump ....helps remove water and air from diesel to have cleaner more efficient fuel use DPF delete .... cause fuck EPA and its HP & MPG robbing bullshit EGR delete .... same as above also doesn't pump exhaust gas back into the engine gunk-ing it up. PCV reroute.... keeps oil from getting blown into the inter cooler gunk-ing it up Trans Go Jr. upgrade or better yet a Full trans build by SunCoast Transmissions ..... be able to use all that extra HP you will make Husky Liner floor mats .... fit great lifetime warranty One's I got ..Love em Du-Ha under rear seat storage (also holds 3 rifles).... clean storage that hides some guns tow straps etc and keeps them from flying around Or basically all the shit I wanna do to mine as I get the $$$

my guess is the weight causes the ass end to sag with a heavy load. which levels the back to the front. but if you're already level, your ass end is now sagging. and as an added bonus, if your load is loose packed mulch or gravel or something like that, you now have gravity working against you.

If you ever plan on hauling anything heavy in the back, you may realize why some folks think leveling kits are pretty dumb. Why ? Also nice rig , very sharp. my guess is the weight causes the ass end to sag with a heavy load. which levels the back to the front. but if you're already level, your ass end is now sagging. and as an added bonus, if your load is loose packed mulch or gravel or something like that, you now have gravity working against you. Plus w/ the rear end now lower than the front, your lights are no longer pointing at the ground and are now pointing in the eyes of oncoming divers. Of course, you adjust them, but whenever you drop in a load, the lights are again pointing up. |

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.

The whole geometry of the front end is changed. I've had leveled trucks, driven others leveled trucks.They all ride like shit compared to stock. I'm keeping my current one stock height. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j26/louisianarebel14/IMAG0691_zps56fd7fa9.jpg Quote HistoryQuoted:

I figured something was off on that. All the GM dealers down here use the one I have linked to. It "may" be worth telling management about. They are easy to install, quick front end alignment and your done. The spacer goes inbetween the lower shock mount and the A frame. Does not change ride quality. Don't believe you on ride quality. the spring is not changed, therefor the ride quality does not change. How/why is that hard to believe?The whole geometry of the front end is changed.

Read the customer reviews, they all can't be telling lies. Most people aren't truck people.. or get it a week after they get the truck, like one of my friends. Swore up and down that it didn't change the ride... with no other experiences to back it up. The guy who helped design it just said not to do it.

Back of the fender rubbed. I zip tied it back. Pretty much it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's a def tank, tanks epa. It's coming off the moment I get the four or $5,000 it costs for a delete kit. I can get the dealership to do it for me and my truck still covered by warranty. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: #1 thing to do is tint the front windows IMO, then leveling. On the passenger side, what the heck is that under the truck? Thats a huge chunk of something that will cause high centering easily on unlevel terrain.

With the spacer on the 1/2 ton is does not change the spring rate. |
