Finally Lifted!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Finally lifted my Denali and OMG!!!! The tires still rub a little and I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about that, I don't wanna cut anything but I don't really have the money right now to get a body lift + Installation after paying for the lift, tire mount, and driveshaft :freak: but it is so worth it! The Custom's Shop said it's the nicest truck they've ever seen so that was very nice and this was also the first BDS kit they've put in and they also said it's the nicest kit they've delt with, so if you're thinking BDS... Do it! But I will get a picture up asap i was away while it was getting worked on and got home tonight so too late to take pictures

Sorry guys have been busy this week with basketball, ffa, and now acalympics yeah yeah truck people can be book smart too! Anyways, I don't think I will be busy tomorrow so I will get some pictures up!

 

PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What offset are your wheels, and how bad are the 35s rubbing?

 

And the offset is +18 and they rub terribly, I don't wanna cut my denali but it has to be done if I wanna be able to drive it :/

What about getting different wheels. The place that installed the lift should be partly responsible if they were involved when you bought the new wheels. I wouldn't be cutting up a new vehicle. :dunno:

 

And quit with the excuses already and snap a few shots :crackup:

I was told by a lift company that a suspension lift would cause the AWD Denali tranny and transfer case to vibrate. Has anyone experienced this?

    • When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.
    • I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.  
    • I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋
    • I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉
    • CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.
