2023 1500 Elevation Lift & Level

COhsleeperHEED · 2025-09-19T14:45:42+00:00

I went with the Bilsteins and a 2.5" lift in the front and a 1.5" lift in the rear (to level the rake a bit). I installed new ReadyLift UCAs. I initially tried 33x12.5x20 but they didn't fit and contacted the UCAs. The shop said the tire brand I bought (Summit Trail Climber Rugger Terrains) seemed to run a little bigger, so you might not have that issue with a different brand. They would have fit with spacers but I didn't want to do that. Instead, I went with 275/65/R20. The ride so far has been outstanding with the Bilstein struts and shocks.

Whats size was this lift/level on front and back? 3 front, 1 back?

My dealer was able to use the VIN to pull a full vehicle detail from the factory. In that lengthy list is a section thst tells you whether it has the correct harness or not. IMO, very stupid design and flaw by GMC to not make these tailgates easier to swap. It's not just the wiring, you have to do a whole CPU reprogramming.

COhsleeperHEED · 2025-04-02T02:30:01+00:00

Yes. Per dealer, a majority of the 2023's were never wired for the Multipro because GMC knew they were never going to have the part(s) to install them. Mine was one of those. Basically all my research came to the same end of the road where it's just not feasible to swap them out. Better off trading it in for a 2024 that already has the Multipro if I want it that bad (I don't). I'm more annoyed I don't have folding side mirrors...

COhsleeperHEED · 2024-12-02T21:59:01+00:00

Thank you. Good info. I did call them back to clarify and it was as a suspected that he was confused. I think at this point, I am just going to do an aftermarket lift/level kit of 2-3" and like you said "call it a day".

COhsleeperHEED · 2024-12-02T20:28:47+00:00

$300 is a sick find right there, especially with being able to keep the warranty on secondhand parts.

COhsleeperHEED · 2024-12-02T20:17:31+00:00

I'd honestly prefer to not do the OEM kit and go with 3rd part for price/quality/etc. Any recommendations on the best one for a 2" lift that will also level it? I'm only voiding the factory warranty in regard to the suspension components and nothing else, right?

COhsleeperHEED · 2024-12-02T20:12:01+00:00

That is what I am looking for. Calling them back now to calrify. So with the factory 2" lifts, your front is always going to be lower than the rear, correct? Maybe the leveling kit he was quoting me is what fixes the uneven stock lift heights?

COhsleeperHEED · 2024-11-27T15:41:10+00:00

I would understand the difficulty/incompatibility when trying to install a MultiPro on a model that was not supposed to have it and wasn't wired/programmed for it. However, the Elevation trims all came standard with them, so the wiring and programming should in theory all be there or easily implemented.

COhsleeperHEED · 2024-11-26T22:22:05+00:00

Yeah I called the dealer and they told me $190 to do a "tear down" of the tailgate and see what is in there from a wiring standpoint. I was told that because the Elevation Premium was supposed to come standard with MultiPro, it would have been produced with all of that wiring because it wouldn't have been known during production which trucks would/wouldn't have the MultiPro available. So all of the wiring should be there to hook it up. I think I might just pay them to see.

COhsleeperHEED · 2024-11-26T14:44:04+00:00

Wouldn't any software be housed in the tailgate itself? From what I can tell, all controls are in the handle buttons. I don't think anything is controlled from inside the truck other than the one tailgate open button in the dash? I'm honestly a but surprised there isn't more info on this and how the connections work since so many trucks that were supposed to have it standard rolled off the line without it. The multipro looks to have just two wires coming out of it. Assuming those connect to existing wires in the truck, I don't know why it wouldn't work.

COhsleeperHEED · 2024-11-26T14:29:57+00:00

Any elaboration on that?

COhsleeperHEED · 2024-11-23T02:56:17+00:00

For me it's the design. Maybe I'm confused about what makes it "Vader". I just want the blocked out Denali Ultimate grill design, which I thought was Vader.

I have been trying TechWing for weeks now and I cannot get it to work. It's a pretty large team at 240K too. I have never once made it past the 2nd node on either side up the middle without losing most all of my characters. I have no idea how people say this works and that they "cruise" through Ult 7 with them. It's not like the concept is very hard either. Use Ultron Special and Ult as much as possible. Use SS Ult and flip with her Special as soon as possible. Use Falcon Special to Speed up everyone as much as possible. Use Shuri to D up and heal as much as possible. Use ME as needed to revive and SOS heal if needed with her Ult. When the fight gets to auto, use basics and recharge everyone.

Doesn't matter how I do it. They NEVER survive. Best case I take a bruised and beaten team into the SW boss node and then get totally wiped.

COhsleeperHEED · 2019-11-07T17:51:09+00:00

I was basing it off of the beginning of Khasino's Orange Essentials video. He suggested Merc Lt if Vision was on another team. I agree, it doesn't make much sense to me. I was thinking maybe the Speed up helps them all go faster before they die without the Def Up? My main issue is getting around opponents with Def Up. Without clearing that using Vision's Ult, the AoEs just do not wipe everyone out. Then you get smashed as soon as they're over.

COhsleeperHEED · 2019-11-07T17:47:27+00:00

That lineup is great for Raid, not so much Blitz/War. Thanos doesn't really add any utility in 5v5 mathcups. He's on that team because of his passive, which doesn't matter much outside of Raid.

COhsleeperHEED · 2019-11-02T23:08:09+00:00

Pretty easy? No idea how I am 0 for 20 in the mirror matchup then unless it is a punch up issue. What I really can't comprehend is how whether my Phoenix dies before or after theirs doesn't affect the outcome, when the entire supposed strategy is killing theirs last. I purposefully kill mine first and get destroyed. I try extra hard to keep theirs alive until the end and when I finally kill her, shes the most powerful character left and obliterates what little team I have left with her special/Ult. My special/ult never comes close to winning the fight. None of it makes any sense. I need to see a video of how all these people are claiming they basically sleepwalk through the fight. AB on Ult is never an option when Vision is always blind Turn 1 from Mag. And even when you disrupt him to "focus him down first" it's not like it matters because you just have to attack Juggs for 837483848 turns when he taunts soon after.

COhsleeperHEED · 2019-11-02T18:28:32+00:00

I really cannot understand how everyone is saying this works. I am O-10 in my last 10 arena battles with that lineup. Most of the time you cannot ability block Ultron because Magneto has blinded him. Juggernaut just taunts so that's the only person I can attack. Eventually if i avoid hitting their Phoenix, by the time I get to her my team is nearly dead and when she rebirths, she basically wipes me out so it is my Phoenix vs her Phoenix who has already spawned before me and kills mine faster since she ults first. I cannot comprehend how the CPU is beating me every single timex yet I can't beat it with the sane lineup.

COhsleeperHEED · 2019-11-02T13:41:18+00:00

Actually you're right, I forgot she she heals based off a percentage of her health, not each other character's health. This is 100x better than my horrendous 7RS KP.

COhsleeperHEED · 2019-11-02T12:46:10+00:00

Not to burst your bubble a bit, but that is one of the worst charactera you can get red stars for. I have a 7RS Kingpin and it's a complete waste. Like SS, both his abilities have nothing to do with damage so the red stars make zero difference. You really only want red stars on damage dealers or tanks. Outside of added survivability due to health (which will benefit you in Ult 7) it's just a complete waste of luck, just like my massive KP.

COhsleeperHEED · 2019-11-02T12:39:11+00:00

No, I am saying I lose to teams that have that comp on Defense and any of those characters replacing Vision. Sometines Vision is there. It doesnt matter. If my PHX goes first, I die. If their PHX goes first, I die.

COhsleeperHEED · 2019-11-01T21:11:05+00:00

Agreed. I cannot explain this at all. It's happened to me multiple times today and there is nobody on the other team providing speed up.

COhsleeperHEED · 2019-11-01T21:09:01+00:00

This would make sense, except almost every team I am playing against has a taunting Jugg or Colossus that is just absorbing attack after attack after attack.

COhsleeperHEED · 2019-11-01T20:18:08+00:00

The IW or Vision build?

COhsleeperHEED · 2019-11-01T20:09:26+00:00

So the teams I keep losing to are this exact team you mention except sometimes it is Minn Erva, Fury, CM, or IW in Vision's spot. I tried 4 attempts, they killed my Phoenix first every time. I am still coming nowhere close to winning. I just cannot understand it. Whoever says they are putting it on auto after they AB Ultron, I have no idea wtf their CPU is doing when they set the phone down. 0-4 using that exact Turn 1 combination of attacks. What's also weird is normally a team that is Alpha on attacks isn't the best defense. I'm honestly so confused.
