Anyone with a lift have any trouble with alignment? I have had to have mine aligned 4x in less than 2000 miles. I do not do any off roading. Just normal driving. In have a 4 inch BDS lift with 295/65/r20"s. So I don't have anything crazy. Any suggestions would be great.

4.5" zone with cooper st maxx 35's

 

This truck looks great. I guess I'm getting old but I love a clean simple setup. Makes me regret getting rid of my stock wheels.

Something is askew. my 6" on 35s drives smooth as butter, i still max the governor out here and there, and with the difference in speedo/governor and actual speeds means it's bout 105MPH. mine pulls slightly to the right, but not enough to go back, even though i had a free follow up alignment.

appreciate it man, not really; maybe if i wasnt missing the center cap in the back haha. ill get some quality photos up with the new lift/tires soon.

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

How much does that kit run?

I havent had any issues out of mine but my lift is still pretty new. 4 times in 2k is insane. My alignment shop told me to bring mine back after 1k for a final check and torgue on everything.

buy it from there, best price, and SUPREME customer service. there was an issue with my order on the supplier's end (maxtrac) but they went above and beyond and fixed it, shipping quickly to meet my deadlines, and were fantastic people.

Did you have to do any trimming? I called maxtrac and they said wait for their 7 inch kit coming out before trying to run 35's on my 2014 2wd

2 things to note. the 2wd 2014 silverados are the exact same height as the 4WD. ive measured multiple times. first generation to be like this.

 

second, they told me that they had their seven inch kit coming out soon, more than 6 months ago. so it very well could be tomorrow, but not the case thus far.

 

i have not had to trim the front valance like you have to almost every other generation. i did tear off the driver's side plastic trim piece that is on the wheel well right in front of the driver's door. in reverse at full lock it rubs those pieces slightly.

 

IDK where you are, but i will be selling my 20" wheels as seen in my photos, and the used 35s (less than 50% tread) when you are ready.

thanks for the info it was very helpful. I am in Louisiana and have 20's already. Not sure that would get me where I need to go.

Does anyone have a picture of a 6 inch lift on 33s?

This is after my 6" install with 33" trail grapplers. I have now switched to 35" toyo's

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • 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?
