ProCompis a good budget lift. I had one on my F250 and it was great. I to have never seen a review of one on a 14-18 GM. Not sure why. I say go for it. Im sure someone whose never ran one will chime in and tell you its horrible.
I have this on my truck. 2014 with 73k miles, has been on since new. Never had any issues with the lift and the truck still rides very smooth. I've taken it on many road trips as far as colorado (from dallas) as well and still rides nice and comfortable. It has factory front shocks too. What I like most and has been said above is all the angles are great with the lift, so it will help with wear on those parts.
Even though this has nothing to do with the lift, I HIGHLY recommend the nitto ridge grapplers for tire selection. These tires are amazing. They look tough but have almost no road noise. I had nitto trail grapplers before and it wasnt too bad with noise at first but I put about 10K miles on them and they got pretty loud. I sold them and got the ridge grapplers and I will never go back

I am an experienced Mechanic with 20 years experience working in dealerships and custom shops. I have installed lift kits in the past, but mostly specialized in performance car modification.I bought this kit from 4Wheel Parts in Glendale, AZ. This was for my 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500.Overall the parts that came in the kit were of good quality, The truck looks great. I was able to fit 35x12.5 R17 tires.The installation instructions were confusing in many places, and needed more illustrations as the written direction were not very descriptive. In a couple places in the instructions it references parts that are not in the kit. (spacers for the Skid plate, and others) The way the kit addresses the ABS wires and the brake lines leave alot to be desired. For the price of the kit, and the reputation both ProComp and 4Wheel Parts have. I would have expected more time and effort to be put into this. As this is literally the most important part of the kit... Safety... The Front Brake line relocation instructs you to bend the banjo fitting on the softline, Uhh no, not gonna happen, it will fatigue and could cause brake failure. It was not necessary to gain any additional slack in the brake lines anyways. The front ABS wire bracket properly mounts the connector, but the abs wire after that is just ran through a clamp and bracket and is left to rub against the knuckle, Alot more thought should have gone into this... I am going to wrap the wires in loom to protect it. The rear brake relocation bracket and method was acceptable, but there was absolutely no solution for the abs wires. When the truck is lifted and the rear suspension is at full droop, you could play the abs wires like a guitar string. Nothing in the kit addresses this. A extension wire should have been supplied to extend the abs wires. This is a pretty serious oversight. If for any reason the rear were to become airborne the ABS wires will either rip or unplug themselves.The instructions say to cut 9/16" off the inner and outer tie rods. After aligning the truck, I found that I had to bottom out the outer tierods pretty hard to get the correct toe. So cutting 7/8" off inners and outers should do the trick. Use a portable band saw for this, as it will cut nice and smooth, and not damage the threads.Also I did not like the fact that in order to lower the front diff, I had to cut the the frame of the truck. Although this might be unavoidable, due to how chevy crammed that front diff in there. Just be aware that you will have to cut the frameI chose to upgrade the kit with the ProRunner rear shocks and the add a leaf kit.The front of the truck rides identical to stock, since all it did was relocate the lower control arms.The rear of the truck rides alot harder. Not sure which is more the culprit, the prorunner shocks or the add a leaf. Once I put 400lbs in the bed it seems to smooths out a little bit.This kit could be a 5 star if they could address the ABS lines, and the instructions...
Hello all. Just saw your question. So I recently bought a 2017 gmc Sierra at4 1500k 4x4. It came with a 6inch Pro comp lift kit installed already. It's a nice kit rides smooth turning is affected a little and with the 35s I have they do rub very lightly when making tight turns. I see one spot is towards the cab bottom inside fender well on 1 bolt head I will modify this later but it's nice kit.
I've got the 6" kit on my 2017 gmc sierra 1500. About 120k now still going strong , only trouble I'm having is front drive shaft. Dealership installed a double cardan with the kit ,but I don't think they really needed too. Seems like it's a bit long and I don't think pro comp sells them anymore , or anyone for a 2017

This article is a review of the Airlinks Lift Kit, which I used to lift the standard air suspension ride height on my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. These allow you to fit up to 33-inch diameter tires. However, I used them to fit my 32-inch tires with 1.75 inch spacers.
About a year ago I upgraded my Grand Cherokee with larger, more aggressive tires. I went from a tire size of 265/60R18 to a 275/65R18. I also made the decision to install 1.75 inch Spidertrax wheel spacers to increase my track width for a more rugged look and more stability off-road. These modifications caused serious rubbing in my wheel well to the point that my front tires began catching on the wheel well trim every time I turned my wheels.
At this point I needed a fix, as I could not drive my car around without damaging it. My Grand Cherokee has an adjustable air suspension, and I noticed that I was not experiencing any rubbing at Off-Road 1 Mode. However, the air suspension automatically lowers to the standard ride height at any speeds above 40 mph.
I began looking into options for adjusting the standard ride height of my air suspension to fit my larger tires with spacers. Most options involved adjusting the computer to trick the system to sit at a higher ride height. After much research, I came to the conclusion that the Airlinks Lift Kit was my answer.
To install, simply remove your stock links that are visible on your air coil. You can use a wrench to just pop off the links being careful to not break any of the attached components. At this point you replace them with the provided Airlinks. It took a little bit of work to snap them onto the suspensions but, overall, it is a very easy instillation. And that is it!
This is a great option for anyone who wants to fit larger tires on their vehicle when they have air suspension. Although I only tried to fit 265/60R18s which are 32 inches in diameter you could fit even larger tires.
Since installing my Airlinks, I have been very satisfied with the final product. Now my rig has larger tires and a wider track length, and I do not have to worry about rubbing. Not to mention my Jeep looks even more badass!
Another benefit of this is that you can now stay in Off-Road 2 height up to 40 mph without the suspension automatically lowering. I found it annoying when I was off-roading through difficult obstacles that required Off-Road 2 mode, but after as my car hit 20 mph my suspension would lower down to Off-Road 1 Mode. I would then have to readjust my ride height before the next obstacle, which became quite a hassle.
I want to note that since you have increased the standard ride height to a level comparable to Off-road 1 Mode, the Off-Road 1 Mode in your Grand Cherokee is now at a comparable level to Off-road 2 mode before the install. This means that if you try to go into Off-Road 2 Mode the ride height will not be able to increase anymore.
I want to thank you for the write-up. I recently purchased a 2019 GC Trailhawk with the 5.7 Hemi. The GC came with 20-inch rims and tire size 275/55R20. When the GC was auto lowered in the park mode and I drove away slowly, I noticed the tire rubbing when turning. This was driving me crazy. today I almost purchased new tires until I started to sign up on Facebook Jeep forums and came across someone telling me to purchase airlinks. Do you think this will work for me? I like to lower the vehicle to make it easier for the family to get in and out.
Pro Comp's all new 4 inch lift for the 4-Door JL was designed to provide a great ride on road while letting you go play off road as well. The coil springs are tuned perfectly and sit tall enough to easily clear larger tires.
For adding a little bit of style to function, maybe take a look at some OSO Collars. These aluminum collars come in a variety of metallic colors, and they work much like Lockjaws in the way they attach to the bar. They can withstand lots of high-impact drops without coming loose, and they are even easier to attach and remove from the bar than the HG 2.0 collars.
OSO also offers the Mighty Collar, an economical, super lightweight version of the OSO. Same basic design, same function, and same holding power, but available for half the cost. Reviews are solid and they do have a two year warranty, so why not, right?
The word is that strap collars kind of work, but are not an improvement over spring collars. The only clear advantages to strap collars is that they travel easy (if you still lift at a globo gym that has shitty collars, and need to bring your own), and that they technically do fit any size bar sleeve.
Vulcan offers the same Competition Compression Collars as Ivanko does, and they do so for about the same price of $130. Other than Vulcan etching their logo into the front side of the collar they look identical.
