Ya I noticed there's a huge difference between 7" and a 7"-9" lift. What's the total height gain with a 7" on 35's? Wouldn't that theoretically be about 10"? I'm no math genius but I think that's the actual gain in height.

I never put a tape measure on it, but that's gonna be pretty close.

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

You have to split the tire diameter, so in "theory" it would be 8.5".

I've got the 7" RCX in my truck. Running on a set of 32s right now tell my wheels n tires come in and honestly the ride is a bit bumpier then factory but I think a lot of that has to do with large rear block. Very happy with the ride quality of the kit, would definitely order another one, the only thing was I thought 7" would have been taller lol

 

I suspect you are right, but the right shocks would go a long way to smoothing it out. Now, the right shocks?? :rolleyes:

Has anyone experienced a vibration that started after having a 6" Fabtech lift installed? Mine is the 1/2 ton with the short box.

Just upgraded my RCX 5" to 7" with Fox Coilovers and rear shocks with Metal Moto 20x12 -44 with 35x12.50x20 Nitto Trail Grapplers. I am rubbing on the back wall of the front fender well. Hopefully I can find a way to keep it from rubbing. Any advice?

Do you have any pics with the 5" installed? How did you like it?

I have a vibration sometimes. It could be the tires though. I will have them rebalanced when I get my new wheels in next week to check.

Yes, please..more pictures. And take a pic of where it rubs on the backside. Does it rub turning in, out, or both?

What rims are they? 20x9? x10? Or another size other than 20s? Also what is the backspacing

 

 

I know Zone off-road (4.5") and BDS (4") allow you to run a 35x12.5x20 tire if you run a 20x9 w/ 5.75" backspacing

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      By ManyCamaroz · Posted

      I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4
