I would say it's a no go on the car wash, with a 6" and bigger tires you won't clear the roof. And if it's a car wash with the track that pulls you through it, a 12.5" wide tire is to wide to fit the track.

My local car wash would fit my truck height wise (02 Silvy, 10" of lift, 35x12.5") but 11.5" wide tire is the max size. They do a crap job at those places anyways. They never get behind my rear tires on the fenders. And want to charge me extra for it. HAAA!!!

Thanks for the help my tire specs from Nitto r 34.45" tall dunno if I would have to get new tires for .5" they do rub now

I just installed McGaughy 7" SS kit on my truck this past weekend and noticed that the driver side tire is further back in the wheel well while the passenger side tire appears to fit the wheel well perfectly. I checked the drop brackets before installing and they didn't appear bent or anything.

 

from the rear corner edge of the fender to the further edge of the tire:

driver side: ~1"

passenger side: ~2.5"

 

By logic, that means the wheelbase from the driver side to the passenger side changed 1.5".

 

Maybe that's how my Silverado came from the factory but never noticed it stock.

 

Any ideas? I will be calling McGaughy today and see what they say.

could be an issue of your bed not being aligned correctly. There have been a few reports of that.

Since he mentioned drop brackets seems like he's talking about the front wheels. That is odd though

I just talked to McGaughy... I need to get them some pics of what I'm talking about. I'll post them up here too. BTW, the rear axle lines up fine with the rear wheel wells.

 

I have not done an IFS lift on a Chevy/GMC, but I have done numerous on Toyotas and it get me and my buddies stumped.

For my 02 when I installed my McGaughy's lift the torsion bar drop brackets they had me take a bunch of pics too. Your case seems a bit more extreme than mine though. Their install instructions are not very thorough with what you actually have to do

Well it's come time that I'm ready to lift my truck. I'm looking at a 6" lift either pro comp or bds.

 

Problem is I'm not sure 20x12 -44 with a 35x12.5 will clear, anyone got any inputs?

 

And yea I'm aware they are going to stick out, I just don't know on the new trucks if I'd have to do a lot of trimming with those rims.

 

Thanks boys

i have 22x11 with -24 6 inch pro comp and it rubs.... -44 with 6 inch lift will not work without a lot of mods.. i spoke with Chris at MHT and got all the input and they will not work... sorry

Went with a 5" suspension lift and no rubbing issues, didn't have to trim at all, have about 1/2"clearance

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
