Anyone else want to jump on the bashing my truck bandwagon, feel free.

I wouldn't say one guy being observant enough to notice the different wheel is bashing.

Touched a nerve I guess. Was simply trying to illustrate the massive transformation it has been through, but the only comments seem to be on how ugly it was before. I’m well aware lol. Sorry for my curt reply.

On another note got the rough country at4 2” leveling kit installed... it looks maybe a little nose high to me but it looks different depending on where

it is parked. Tires no longer rub which was my main concern.

Dealer had that one laying around. I didn’t even notice to be honest. I was simply trying to give an idea of the transformation that the truck has been through which I thought was quite good but no one can focus on what it looks like now.

 Calm down, man. I just thought it was an example of poor quality control....reminded me of a local dealership years ago that had a K5 Blazer on one side and a Jimmy on the other. Your truck looks good!

My apologies.

Hi all,  I am new to this forum, but have been perusing for a few months. Purchased a 2020 GMC Sierra Elevation Diesel (absolutely love it) in January and had the factory GM 2" lift installed 2 weeks ago at the dealer.  I would have typically installed this myself, but wanted to have the dealer responsible for any install issues.  First thing I noticed was that the steering wheel was off center a few degrees and there is a dull creaking/clunk on the front driver's side when hitting small bumps. I don't think it is a metal on metal sound.  Now, I noticed that the front passenger side is about 1" lower than the driver's side. I am a bit peeved.  I have an appointment for this Friday for them to try to fix it. I'd like to give them some specific direction on what is going on and what to look for after. Does anyone have any advice for me on what the problems could be?  I am hoping they can fix it right this time.  Thanks in advance!

You remove the 3 torque screws on the front side of the mudflap, then remove a 10 mm bolt on the back side.  The mudflap can then be pulled away from the truck body and pushed towards the engine bay.  There will be another torque screw holding the carpet wheel liner to the bracket, remove this and pull the wheel liner up and away as much as you can.  This will give you access to the bracket behind it.  The bracket has 4 bolts that have 13 or 14 mm heads.  Remove those and the bracket comes off.  Then put everything back in reverse order.  The final step is to drill a small hole on the back side of the carpeted wheel liner near where it attaches to the rear front mudflap and insert and zip tie it into that new hole and an existing hole on the body near it to pull the flap back.  Do not drill thru the mudflap, just the carpet.  Repeat for the other side.  The whole process took me about 30-45 total for both side and I wasnt in a rush lol. 

Thanks for this post dude. I did the Readylift 2" under strut level and put some 285/75R17s on some Rotiforms and was having the reverse rub with very minor turning. Stuff like this keeps forums relevant. Nice wheels too, not many people do anything creative outside of all the cliche hostile and fuel stuff.

@cseaman glad you found it helpful, full disclosure I someone else wrote that post up but I had to do some digging to find it. Did you go with the 6OR rotiform wheels? I had those on my last truck and almost bought them again. Post some pictures when you get a chance!

Yessir. I have two other Audis competing for my mod budget so I couldn't justify anything forged on the truck, but it's nice knowing I'll never see a twin in this thing.
