Thank you everyone for your help on the questions I had.

WhiteLMM, what gears did your friend end up going with on this lifted 6.2 liter Chevy? I have been researching online regarding re-gearing and ran across your post. I just bought a 2017 Silverado 1/2 ton crew cab standard bed Z71 with the 6.2 liter motor, 8 speed transmission and 3.23 gear ratio. I am going to lift my truck and having a hard time debating between a 4” or 6” BDS. I love the look of 6”, but afraid with my high factory gears, it would require re-gearing. If I go with a 4”, I will run 275/70/18 (33.6”) and if I get a 6” I would go 285/70/18 (34.1”) or 295/70/18 (34.5”). The tire I will be going with is Toyo Open Country has MY. My factory stock tire is 275/55/20 which is (31.9”). Currently with my stock setup, I love the power and gas mileage. Just too short now. Need my lift on. Most shops I talk to say to re-gear, but I don’t want to do lower gears and regret it with my truck sucking gas. So far people are saying 3.73 for the 33” tires and 4.30 for 34”/35” tires. Look forward to hearing back from you.
