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

Anyone running the RC 3.5?

I am, after about 12,000 miles, I'm researching other kits to soften the ride (speed bumps), and lift it a bit more. Starting to hear some unusual noises when I'm turning.

Doesn't look terrible with the current tires. Kind of makes it look like a HD

 

Yeah i was surprised how well it looked with the 32s. I was thinking it was gunna be taller... guess ill have to wait for my 35s to find out the overall size.

It's got stock JK tires. I think there a 32. I'm thinking 33s or 35s on 20x12s.

@matt_s, Yeah if you're going to invest in tires, go 35s and be satisfied with them, instead of kicking yourself down the road in a month!

 

Truck looks good, can't wait to see the tire upgrade!

I'm thinking so to. I wanna add another inch or two up front as well

 

Try it with what you have first. Try to preserve the ride. If you lift it an inch or two, you will likely just space the strut or replace it. Easy to do, but relative to ride you want, you may have more insight after experiencing the lift as is. Just a thought...

If you are just looking for an extra inch or two in height, maybe a small body lift will work. Just thinking out loud. LOL. Great looking truck by the way.

I asked this same question in the Leveling Kit thread, so I also wanted to ask/post it here as well.

I have a question, or maybe matter of individual opinion. I have the Rough Country 2.5" level/lift with the rear blocks (have not installed this kit yet). I am debating as to whether to install that with a 1.5" Zone Offroad body lift, or the Performance Accessories 3" body lift, or go with the 7" RCX lift. I want to put on 35x12.5x20 tires 20x10 wheels with either a -12 offset with backspace of 5 Fuel Mavericks, -19 offset with a backspace of 4.75 BMF Novakane Death Metal, or -24 offset with a backspace of 4.5 Fuel Maverick or Krank. Just looking for those of you that have done maybe a combo of these and opinions. I understand that it is personal preference as to what people want, affordability, etc. I have read this thread and the suspension lift thread and am really on the fence as to which way I want to go. Seen so many great looking trucks that are leveled, leveled + body lift, and lifted. Thanks in advance.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
