Youtr truck looks great. I just got mine finished. I have a BDS 4 inch lift with 295/60/20 Toyo Open Country AT2 Extreme's on 20 inch Fuel Maverick wheels. It looks and rides great. I didn't have to do any triming cause the tires measure 33.9 inches tall. I want to post some pics but I don't know how to get my pics from my Iphone to the computer or how to upload them from there. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

If you use Tapatalk, when you click to respond there is a camera icon to take pics and a photo icon to upload pics from your camera roll. If you don't use Tapatalk, get it and use it so I can see another truck with a BDS 4"! And share how your mileage is doing with those 295/60/20s!

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

I would love to see it! I just ordered a 4" tuff country lift and need to figure out what tires to get. Apparently there aren't to many with a 4" lift yet...

Ok I downloaded taptalk and I don't even see that as an icon. I see other icons like twitter and stuff. So I'm lost.

when you select to reply you'll see a + sign in a circle, tap that. Then from there you can select either the paperclip or the picture icon to post a pic.

 

Quick question. Did sign into this forum via tapatalk. Because I don't see a Sig on the bottom of your post as the rest if us using tapatalk have.

This is making me mad. Sorry guys, I hit more options, choose file, then attach file and it says it's too big. I am only using one photo from my phone. I'm sorry again I don't mean to be difficult.

Are you still trying to post from your computer or on your phone? Just curious

Truck looks great man. Do you have a pic looking down the side of the truck? Curious how wide the 295s actually look installed.

Disregard, I got mine installed today. 295/65 20. Excuse the nasty truck and missing center caps.

Hello everyone, I am new to the forums and so far loving all these trucks! Currently, I have a 2011 Sierra and and plan on upgrading to a '15 Sierra AT or Silverado.

When I buy this truck the first thing I plan on doing is a lift. So far I am torn between the BDS 6 and 4 inch lifts. Either way I am most likely going with 35" toyo mt's.

 

Does anyone know how tall their truck sits to the roof line with the 4" BDS? I am hoping it will fit in my garage, but kinda doubt it...I know the 6'" will not fit.

 

Thanks!

 

-CJ

I can speak from experience because I was worried about the same thing. My garage measured 6'11" and I have almost 3 inches of clearance.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
