Too bright out to get a clear picture today. Front is done. Rear hasn't been touched. I am going to put the rear shocks on. I may not install the Carli HD springs on the rear.

Found my ball joint fork attachment for my air hammer. I had to way lay on it, but it popped loose. My truck is finally back together. I'll get the back done this weekend. Thanks everyone!

I've finally was able to get back on my truck and have all the correct parts. I finished the Driver's side up and got onto the passenger side. I cannot break the ball joint loose from the spindle. I've been hammering on the end of the ball joint bolt with my air hammer and no luck. Tried to get...

I bought a new 2021 GMC Sierra SLT with the Duramax 3.0 Diesel. I got a best of 34.4 instant fuel mileage. When it worked, it was great! You won't win any races, but it had enough power. It just didn't knock your socks off. The 10 speed transmission started giving me fits just under 60,000...

I finally took the time to install everything this past weekend and ran into a big problem. I started on the front drivers side and completed it. Everything went smooth once I got it all apart. The new shock assembly and upper control arm bolted in as expected. Once I got to the front...

Umm...well, obviously your truck. However, I specifically stated 'Rebel trucks" as there is a difference. Your's isn't a Rebel. I appreciate you sharing your experiences, though.

I'm anxious to see some pictures from you all! I'm dragging my feet to get mine done. I have too many projects going on.

At worst, it will put you back to factory rake. I tow some, so I need that rake. I would just like to reduce the amount of rake the factory provides. Did you replace your upper control arms?

I have acquired everything, but have not yet gotten it all installed. A lot going on, so just haven't had the time yet. However, I am getting very close to getting it done. Does your truck have ramboxes and/or MFT?

I've been using Auto 4WD since the 90's and have had zero problems with the systems.

I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, but I've purchased the RC UCA's. I just haven't installed them yet. I'm still waiting on some other things before I'm able to get them installed. Of course, I'm awaiting the time to do the install as well. They are certainly of nice quality and...

If your tailgate is 130#'s heavier than mine, then imagine the squat someone weighing 130#'s would create to my truck sitting on my tailgate. 1/4" at best?

Yeah, you are right. I wasn't thinking about the difference in the coil wind from stock to Carli. The load characteristics will be different for sure. I still can't wrap my head around how your setup would be much different than mine, though.

I have an interesting update... Today, the Carli rear HD springs arrived along with the Method 317 wheels and Bilstein 6112's. UPS man I bet was hating me today having to unload all that:) The interesting thing I've found out is that the Carli HD spring measures 21-1/2" in static height. From...

I've read Carli's site to nauseam. Reading their site and seeing your truck on there was what led me to purchase the HD springs in the first place. Quite frankly, I can't understand them saying what they did to me. It's contradictive to what they've posted online. Comparing your truck to mine...
