Finally getting some pics up loaded 7" RCX lift and 35 12.50 20 nitto trail grapplers 20140712_193914.jpg20140712_193929.jpg20140712_193942.jpg

Truck looks good!

 

The rcx lift doesn't require wheel spacers or anything to accommodate the stock wheels right? This is the setup I was originally going with then I heard lifts like bds, fabtech and pro comp would not allow the stock wheels. I like how the rcx sets the front and rear wheels even. How does it ride so far?

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 think it rides good close to stock. It says u can use stock wheels but I have some rubbing at full turn on my sway bar. Ive only done that once. I am debating on spacers. I dont want them to stick out to far so well see.

Question here, I'm looking to lift my truck this winter and i want at least a 6 inch suspension lift and i want to put 35's on it. I was originally looking at the BDS because of their warranty. But the thing is i won't be doing hardcore off roading. I will go mudding a few times and going on a lot of trails and hunting, stuff like that. Any other recommendations that i should consider or just get the BDS? Thanks

Just stick with BDS. If a company is so confident in ther product that they will give you a complete NO BS warranty, if it breaks, no matter how old it is, they replace it. Then that means your getting damn good quality product.

 

I am looking to put mine up on a 4" and 275/65/20 Nitto crosteks and I'm gonna go with BDS. My truck will likely not see any mudding. It will see some off road. But nothing serious. But I like BDS's warranty and believe that you gotta get quality with that kind of warranty behind it.

 

And hey. Look at it this way even. Atleast if something does break, you know there will be a new part in the mail the same day or day after you call them and say a part broke. Any other company will try to find a reason not to send you the part.

BDS 4" lift allows for the use of stock 20" rims. Not sure about other rim sizes and other BDS kits though.

BDS kicks the front wheels out, but their recommended backspacing matches OE offset. I'm running the stock wheels on mine while I wait for the new wheels to show up.

Thanks, that sounds like a pretty good idea. Thats the route I'm gonna go.

 

How do i know what offset the rims need to be when i buy them? I know i want 18's I just don't know anything else about rims.

When i get the BDS lift does anyone know if i need to extend the break lines as well? Im looking to purchase and install everything this fall and want to buy everything at the same time. I just don't know what "extras" i need beside the lift, rims and tires. Thanks

The BDS/Mcgaughys lifts are almost identical when compared.. The kit will come with everything you need to install. No need for extra parts unless you up grade your A-arms/Ball joints, add on Fox Shocks, etc etc... I would recommend a 20" rim instead of 18" unless you like a lot of tire. 20 looks perfect on a 33 or 35" tire.. Just my opinion

And more negative the offset of the wheel (-12, -24, -44 etc. it will stick out pass the fenders a bit more. )

I agree with huthut8.

18 just seems too small to me for some reason. I know it's only 2 inches smaller, but still. I used to like rubber over metal, but 20s look great on these trucks.

Did you go with a 4" or 6" from bds? Any pics?!

I did want 20's but the more i look, i like the look of the 18's with all that rubber. I want that more aggressive look. Thanks for the responses.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
