I want to put a zone combo 3.5" kit or something similiar on a 2006 Sierra CrewCab 2WD. I wanna leave the wheels I have on it though, they are 18s off a 2007 Yukon Denali. From what I have found online they are 8.0" wide and the offset is 31+. Could I run this lift with these wheels and 275/70 tires without issues? Thanks in advance.

Yes. It's a body lift and keys right? If so there will be no real change to the suspension and the spindles will remain the same.

It's 2WD, so I would be a 2" spacer and a 1.5" BL. Would the spacer change weather it would rub or not?

no it wont.

 

FYI i would recommend getting the PA 2" body lift for your truck instead of the Zone 1.5"

 

if you do get the Zone kit, dont forget to order the rear bumper brackets... they dont come with the kit and are an additonal $50

Why do you like the PA kit better? Just for more overall height, or so I could go to smaller spacer? I dont want to run more than a 275/70/18, but it would probably look fine even with 4" lift in the front.

Yes, and Yes.

 

It's much easier to change the spacer down the road if you want to go higher/lower. For the effort you're putting into the body lift, might as well get 2" from the get go. Then you can put in 1, 1.5 or 2" spacer depending on which tire you want to run.

The PA kit looks to be more expensive, can you suggest a website where it is cheaper?

Also would I have to extend anything?

I could just put on the 2" PA kit and the tires should fit fine, and get the spacer later.

Are you including the price of the bumper brackets for the Zone kit? You know they're $50 on TOP of the 1.5" BL right?

Yeah the zone kit is $200-215 + shipping. The PA kits I saw online were in the $400-500 range.

That seems pretty expensive... I remember mine being around $280-$300 but that was a few years ago.

 

In that case, just get the 3" Zone body lift for $375 and call it a day :cool:

I guess I could do that, but what has to be extended? Whenever I get the money togeather and find some shops, Im going to get it priced. Maybe the 2" PA kit will be cheaper than I have found so far.

do you have a manual tcase or manual trans?

 

not much has to be extended otherwise...... your 06 has efans so no shroud issues, kit comes with bumper brackets and an extension for the gas filler tube if needed. download the instructions for your truck and give it a read through....

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
