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.

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

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.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
