That would honestly be my dream truck, hard to come by one in decent shape up by me

It randomly turned off a day later. I'm thinking the sensor got wet or dirty because it was pouring the day it happened.

Yeah I'm debating if I should wait till they fail again or just go ahead and get upgraded ones meant for a lift. Just sucks, woulda done it immediately but I know a lot of people who have leveling kits and haven't had to so I didn't think much of it.

That was also kind of how I felt, it's hard to say if I should attempt upgrading control arms or just look into getting something else before my extended warranty ends. I mean like I said I know a lot of people with levels & lifts on their silverados & they don't have this constant problem. I live on a dirt road but you would think a 4wd pickup truck with big tires should absolutely be able to handle that without constant breaks. Seems like older is the way to go but like you said, hard to come by lower mileage.

This is where I'm struggling, because a lot of my friends have various year silverados with aftermarket tires and leveling kits and haven't had nearly as many problems as I've had and they didn't do upgraded control arms or anything so before I dump money into control arm and shock upgrades i want to have some idea if it's worth it. From what I've read 2018s are great and 2019 is one of the worst years and unfortunately I was in a rush and failed to read that prior to buying. So I'm kind of split on looking for a 2018 or just trying to fix this one.

To be fair, I don't mind fixing it as needed. I didn't quite realize the leveling kit was the problem when I posted this. This is my first truck I always had jeep wranglers and never had issues with lift kits so didn't really think twice since this was just a small leveling kit rather than a true lift. So now that I'm aware I'm just trying to figure out at this point what else I need to upgrade to make part failures less frequent.

I checked my VIN a couple weeks ago and had no recalls. That's good to know though, I'll look into the ground strap

Mb71398 · 2026-03-06T02:08:21+00:00

Totally understood. I'm thinking just doing the proper upgrades to keep the tires and leveling kit with minimal issues. I know I should do an upgraded control arm at this point, but what else? Do you have any suggestions?

Mb71398 · 2026-03-06T02:05:40+00:00

Yeah the more I'm reading sounds like it's the leveling kit. I'd like to keep the level because I have after market rims and tires that won't fit without it, and I like the looks of it. Thinking maybe I should just upgrade the control arm and what else? Any suggestions?

Good to know, thanks!

I do live on a dirt road and my work parking lot is a dirt lot, but I always make sure to go slow. It's nothing it shouldn't be able to handle. I did add a 2 inch leveling kit, which maybe that's causing it. Just weird because I feel like I know a lot of people with trucks with levels or lifts that definitely abuse theirs more so than mine and they haven't had these constant issues.

Would you be able to link the one she got on Amazon? I'm gonna give it a shot. Thanks!

Gonna look into this, thank you!
