I got a 3 inch lift on my 2014 sierra its one of those ready lift kits i believe so technically a slightly bigger leveling kit including a slightly bigger block in the rear and put the Fuel tires 33x12.5x20 and have a bit of a rub on the upper control arm on full turn and want to know what offset i can get on rims to eliminate the problem and not going crazy on the offset.

 

You'd still rub the sway bar with +18 offset for sure.

0 offset you might rub the fender but I can't confirm that.

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

Here is my submission to this thread. Its my 2016 GMC All/Terrain 4x4 6.5" Zone with AAL, 35.4" Duratracs on stock 20" Denali wheels.

Has anyone with lifted truck using a strut block extension replaced the factory struts with bilstein 5100. If so did it improve the ride ? Or is it best off to spend the extra cash on full coilOver replacement to remove the strut spacer?

Thanks

On my 2012 AWD Denali I replaced the stock shocks with Bilstein 5100's and it rode great. But that was also on a well built suspension kit from CST.

Anyone running lift spindles on a 2wd? Looking to run Maxtrac spindles, either 3" or 4.5". I'm running 20x9 +12 offset 5.5 backspace wheels. Can't get a definite answer if my wheels will work or not. I'd rather not run spacers on the front to clear the spindles.

a3avegyz.jpg4y4yte8u.jpgty2umy8a.jpgymume9up.jpgmevytaze.jpghumyge6u.jpg rough country 4.75 lift, 20x10 Moto Metal 970's with - 24 offset, 305/55R20 Toyo Open Country AT II's Extreme. Minor rubbing in reverse at full lock on the plastic trim. Not bad at all.

 

Truck looks awesome! I sent you a private message with a few questions if you don't mind giving some feedback on your thoughts so far.

Damn, looks really nice! Plans to do anything to the bumper?

New to the fullsize game here. I personally drive a Tacoma but my dad picked up '14 Denali and I am trying to piece together a quality lift for him. It really will only be seeing street use but needs to be reliable and comfortable if the going gets tough. He is deadset on running 35's and wants as little lift as possible to clear them. I like the BDS 4" kit but want to upgrade the coilovers and rears for something like Fox, King, or Icon. I know on Tacomas Icon makes custom coilovers to fit with a drop bracket lift, do any of the reputable companies provide an option like this that would work with the BDS 4" kit? Are there any other companies I should look at that I dont know of? Thanks in advance.

Zone off-road is the sister company of BDS and is a quality lift also, but is also friendly to the bank account Edited by Mike1220

Just got off the phone with him and the off road shop talked him into a Fabtech 6" kit with Fox 2.5" Coilover and rear Fox 2.0". I'm okay with the Fox parts as I know they are good quality but I am unfamiliar with the Fabtech kit. Any input on this kit?

Im thinking about it. I just got to find time of taking off the bumper sanding and finding good weather to get it done. Also tossing around the idea of selling her

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
