Could you add 35's and trim the wheel wells to keep the front tires from rubbing? I want to add 35 x 13.5's, but I don't want to do a 6 inch lift. I want a 4 inch lift. I don't mind cutting the crap out of the inside of my wheel well to make it fit if needed.

 

 

The width and backspacing of the wheel along with the year model of the truck will be huge determining factors. But if you don't mind hacking up your truck, then you can probably make them fit.

Finally, here is some pics with my 305 Mickey Thompson ATZ's on.... the back could definitely fit some 35's with this lift.

I think next I may do a 1.5' BL and throw the 35's on :thumbs:

Sorry to ask, but I'm stuck in the same spot. i looked at both of these lifts today. not sure what the 6 inch with 33's would look like, so im thinking the 4 inch with 33's. i didn't see you post up your fender measurements. what are they if you don't mind me asking?

Hey the truck looks great! Did you have any issues using your factory 18" wheels? I want to do the 6" BDS but want to use my factory 20" wheels on my 09 Silverado. I would think that if your factory wheels work on the 4" then they should work on the 6" BDS kit too? Thanks, and again the truck looks great!!

If you're going with 33's,, do the 4 inch in my opinion. I almost feel like my 33's are too small for this 4 inch,, it seems like 35's could fit easily (in the back for sure)

35's will definately not fit without considerable trimming with the 4".

 

 

See post #32...Flyin6 had rubbing issues with 33's on the stockers with his 6".

Hey man, do you have any more photos of this lift kit?

I have the exact same truck, and want to do the same lift, and keep my stock wheels.

 

 

Thanks man

Are those Mickey Thompson ATZ's competition for the Terra Grapplers or the Trail Grapplers?

 

I'm looking into this same 4" BDS lift on my 2011 Denali. Waiting to hear back from a local Driveline shop, but I spoke with BDS and they're confident that it can work.

 

I love the looks of this 4" lift.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
