I have the above red truck. 6.2 with max package 3:72 gears. It's no dog for sure as is. I did notice a power lose but overall not that much . Keep in mind I am judging from seat of pants and being higher up it gives u a feeling that u r moving slower. The rolling weight I added was about 20 pounds more over stock per tire / wheel.

I have been watching the lie o meter and it's down on mpg but then again I need to adjust for a slightly taller tire. Mpg is a good base line for the amount of power / efficiency lose from the lift kit.

I have 35s and noticed some power loss but it still has plenty of power especially with a diablew custom tune. I'll still regear when a new ring and pinion become available. Definitely not a dog.

This might sound dumb, but if you floor it from a dead stop can you still get the tires to squeal?

I don't think 37's wrapped around 20's looks bad. That's what I plan on getting

On 35/20 now but about to go 37/18 unfortunately; will 18s fit on a Texas/all star edition equipped with 20s from the factory? 99.99993737% sure they will since the base models have 18s but want to confirm.

 

 

And has anywhere here stacked a body lift on a suspension yet? Or will I be the guinea pig?

Yes they will fit fine.and body lift suspension combos are quite common, although I don't recall any 14+ trucks on the site with anything that big.

They should fit. There is a member on here who is running 37s on a 6" suspension + 3" body. Check out the first few pages of this thread and you will find him. His name is GMCBLACKWIDOW. He was asking about it in the beginning of this thread but you can look at his pictures that he posted later of the 6" SL + 3" BL w/ 37/20

 

EDIT:

 

heres a link to his gallery where he has the pictures.

They arent all that great of pictures tbh but its the closest thing I have seen to what you are looking to do.

Hope this helps

you forgot to mention that it looks like you are "debadging" the rims. :rollin: I don't see a center cap on the rear wheel

Too bad you're not closer and wanting to keep your 20s. I'm looking to trade my basically new 37" trails for some 35s.

How do you like the lift? Any issues? I have the MaxTrac 3" and have been on the fence about upgrading to the 6.

well im lined up to trade with a guy now, for 37 18s. im willing to make the wheel drop for the tires. id be interested and willing to drive a fair distance. PM me and we can text or call.

go for it. my truck is 2wd so the lift is just a 3" spindle lift; cant really mess that up. and then the other 3 inches are from the spacer on the front suspension. no change in ride quality, suspension geometry remains unchanged, etc. i have a 4 block on the rear for the 6 up front, pretty level

    • 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?
