POST PICTURES OF YOUR BODY LIFTS (2014+)

[tsdrumm]

 

4" lift with 33x12 tire - perfect size for a DD! That's the route I'm going when I need tires. You running about 0 offset? What's your clearance at full lock at your UCA and swaybar?

Yeah I think it's the perfect height too. The wheels are 20x9.5 with 5" back space. So a little more aggressive than a x9 with 0. Plenty of clearance everywhere right now. Theses are left over tires and wheels from my last truck. Eventually I want to get some x10.

Anyone have pics of just a 2" level (not the full 2.5") and a Zone or RC body lift? This is the setup I have on my 2011 and I'd like to use the same combo on the 2016 when I buy it. I think it looks perfect.

1.5" Zone BL with Rancho Quicklift shocks (apx 1.75" front lift)

currently running the rc 2' level on my 14 sierra. Couple questions:

 

1.) I read body lifts can actually cause damage to frame over time? is this accurate?

 

2.) in the case of a side impact is a 1.5 BL really that dangerous as per some articles ive read they say it is "dangerous"

 

3.) where are you guys getting your zone 1.5 lifts from? please paste link. I went to zonelifts.com or something like that but was a little weary because in the description they had spelling errors...

 

finally how much is general labor for a BL install.

1) Think about it...the frame is the strongest point of the truck. It's the foundation of the whole system. For the most point, the body is only touching the frame at the same points where you are going to install some taller plastic blocks. I would need some sort of scientific or mechanical engineer to explain the "why" of frame damage. Sounds like someone would rather sell you a suspension system..

 

2) Again, what is the explanation of the side impact damage. Maybe the cab/bed being up off the frame 1.5" makes it more susceptible to shear of the body mount bolts? Thousands of body lifts out there...I don't see where this is a problem. A lifted truck in general is "less safe" than the truck in it's original configuration, for many reasons.

 

3) Google

 

4) If you do it yourself, about 8 hours. Locally, they want $800 to install it.

Thanks! ^^^ I've done some reading and research. Have come to conflicting conclusions...

 

 

Does the 1.5 zone lift require any cutting of frame or anything like that? Not going to cut up a 45k truck for a 1.5 lift

You have to cut the front frame horns for the new bumper brackets, but not so much that you couldn't reinstall the old bumper brackets if you ever decided to remove the BL.

3" Supreme Suspension leveling kit in front and 1" MotoFab rear block. Still leaves an unnoticeable rake which is nice. I will be adding 33's in the Durtrac this fall, excited to get those on. I would however like to wrap my front clip as well as my door handles and mirror caps to match the silver ice metallic. Anyone know what that would run a guy?

I added a 1.5" Zone BL. I'll get better pics later. 20x12s arrive on Tuesday.

Nice rig. What'd you do with the at wheels?

[TX_AT]

They are in storage. I kept them just in case I didn't like how the new wheels looked. I'm used to how popped out the -44's are
