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?

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

      Hi, New here.  2026 Denali HD.  Just purchased 7/2/26. I am having the same issue.  I just traded in my 2024 AT4, and the truck connected to bluetooth and Android Auto Immediately!  Now, with the new HD, it connects when it wants to, which is usually not at all.  I have to use the usb-c cable to get it to connect.  Bluetooth won't even connect without the AA. Now after saying all that, I'll take a 20 min drive with the phone plugged in.  Stop at a store, restaurant, etc....  Get back in my truck and DO NOT plug the phone in.  The truck then decides at this point, lets connect BT & AA and work perfectly, ie how it should.   I have deleted (forget phone) the phone multiple times.  I guess I'll just get used to plugging it in every time. even though I don't think its good for the phone battery to have it on charge after it hits 100%. I have searched all over.  No one else seemed to be having this issue, until I read this thread today.   thanks for reading.

      2004 GMC Sierra Crew Cab Ignition issues

      By Heath · Posted

      I have an issue with my ignition hanging and I have to tilt the steering wheel to get in the off position. I have used a great key lock spray and it doesn't help resolve the issue. Is this an ignition assembly issue or something else. If anyone has a past experience with this please advise.   Thanks  Heath

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By jl6690506 · Posted

      This is a terrible GM warranty experience, two months waiting for a covered engine swap with no loaner or timeline is not allowed under GM’s courtesy transport policy.Escalate straight past regular support to a GM executive case manager, document every closed service ticket and dealer repair paperwork. File a complaint with NHTSA to force faster action, and ask for daily rental reimbursement while your truck is down. If it’s been out of service over 30 days, your state lemon law may let you pursue a full vehicle buyback.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By jl6690506 · Posted

      198°F isn't unusually hot for an 8L90, so I don't think temperature alone caused the issue. Since everything returned to normal after the truck sat for several days, I'd be looking at an intermittent electronic or hydraulic control problem before assuming the transmission itself has failed. The first thing I'd do is scan the Transmission Control Module (TCM), not just the ECM. GM transmissions can store manufacturer-specific or history codes that won't trigger a check engine light. I'd check: TCM history and pending DTCs Commanded vs. actual gear Line pressure Shift solenoid status Torque converter clutch (TCC) slip Transmission fluid temperature If it happens again, try to capture the data before cycling the ignition, since some intermittent faults disappear after a restart. A professional scan tool that supports full GM transmission diagnostics makes this much easier. For example, the Foxwell NT809BT can access the TCM, read manufacturer-specific transmission codes, and display live transmission data that's not available on a basic OBD-II reader: https://www.foxwelldiag.com/products/foxwell-nt809bt Hopefully it's just an intermittent control issue, but I'd definitely pull the TCM data before replacing any parts.
