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

When I spoke to Rough Country about their 6" lift they told me I could go no larger than 295/60R20 and that was one of the major reasons I chose to go with the BDS 6" as they said I could run a 35/12.5R20.

 

bds 6" will net you more lift than the rc 6" lift. Go with the bds and don't look back, it costs more, but you get a way more solid lift and better products.

Has any body had any issues with their g80 locker locking up after lifting their truck? I was thinking that it might encounter problems locking with a bigger and heavier tire. But again I am a novice in lifting trucks ( bds 6 in kit with fox shocks in the rear and 35 in toyo at 2 gets installed this Thursday) I simply do not know

Has anyone ran into any issues installing a lift kit after already having a 1.5"-2.5" front leveling kit? I want a lift in the future, but would like to level out the nose dive until then..... unless it would better to hold off and wait for a lift kit?

I had a level kit and now a lift. No issues. However it is a good idea to remove the level kit when you lift

Thanks

Not just the body lift, 4" all together. I have the 2.5" rough country suspension and the 1.5" zone body lift

thats what I'm going to do. I have 2.5 RC level with 305 55 20 with 0 offset rims. I'm rubbing right now at full lock. Do u think I will rub if I add 1.5 body lift? Also what offset do u run?

Just bought my 2015 crew cab short bed. Wanting to go with a 6" suspension lift and 35"s. Planning on BDS. Any input on which brands to use/not use? MOST IMPORTANTLY... can anyone tell me the height of their truck after a 6" lift and 35s?? I need to fit under my 81" garage door and I've seen used ones at all heights imagineable!!! Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Icon vehicle dynamics can custom build their shocks for whatever length you need. I had a custom set of coil overs built for my truck with a 4.5 inch lift. Pm if you want some details

Icon ride too firm for me.

 

Bilstein 7-9" adjustable struts are the best bang for the buck.

See page 71 post #1054, I've addressed this with my setup. Good luck with your decision.

I'm officially frustrated?. I have done so much research and finally purchased all the items needed to lift my truck. Afterwards I went to my local 4x4 shop to arrange for installation this Wednesday. Then today UPS brought the final pieces needed so I called my local shop to verify appointment for tomorrow and was told, due to workload he regrets to tell me I now must wait till Monday for installation.

I know it's not the end of the world but " I have ants in my pants" if you know what I mean.

      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.
