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

I'm new to this site and think I posted in wrong section. On my 3rd truck. Just bought a 15' GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab. Added Iron Cross Patroit Boards, mud flaps and XTang Folding Tonneau Cover. I've never nor do I know anything about lift suspension but sure would love to lift my truck. This is my 3rd truck and would love to get it up a bit higher. I also have Eagle LS2 P275/55R20 and don't want to change them if I don't have to. I want my truck to look level and tires aligned. I'm not looking to do any off-roading. It's simply for looks. The truck dealer near me recommended a 4.5" lift for Zone. I still need to be able to get into hospital/parking garages in downtown areas. So 4.5" is the max for me. Any and all advice is appreciated! If I can have the truck look the same but lifted up a bit would be great. I'm hoping my current tires and wheels would fine and not out of place? Thanks so much!

Hey bud did you do the 4.75 RC with control arms or without

 

 

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.

if i have a 2.5" rough country level on the front only would i have to remove it in order to put a 4-5 inch lift on?

i noticed a lot of these lift kits still have rake and i do not like the rake i like a nice leveled look.

Depends on what you are doing ? If you were doing a combo lift all it is a leveling kit and a body lift.

which is what the 4.75 lift is. except the fact it drops your diff also to give you a little more suspension lift. Alot of people do not like this lifts because they stress out the ball joint and cv axles.

I just picked up a rough country 5 inch bracket lift and they advertise that it levels the truck i for one do not like it completely level , but I have a helper spring in the back . I picked up the kit for 1000.00 plus 59.00 ship from an ebay retailer with a best offer and got it . that's 200 less than buying from rough country. For that price I could not see doing a lesser lift. Keep in mind its a lot of metal cutting if you are doing it yourself as I will be. I will post the results when I am done and some fender heights.

Yes I was thinking abt just adding the RC 1.25" body lift. Is that the combo lift you are talking abt?

I haven't seen a combo lift that lowers the diff do u have a link?

35x12.5x20 Trail Grapplers with 20x9 Fuel Krank. 0 offset and 5" backspace

Fuel is +1 not 0. And they don't look like +1. Mine stick out more. I would bet the are 14 or 20. I would check to make sure you didn't get the wrong rims. I could be wrong but they don't look like they are out enough

Ok thanks for the clarification

You are welcome. I made the error in a couple of posts. Tried to correct them, but it must have been to late I guess. Hope that helps you out some. If your tires stick out more, do you have 20x9 or 20x10 wheels? Or do you have spacers on your wheels? I do not have spacers on mine.

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      By SFC Retired · Posted

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.

      That makes sense, and I agree with most of that.   I think the product would need both: 1. a default powertrain template, so it is useful out of the box; 2. user-selected priority parameters, so the owner or shop can choose what they want to see first.   Different users are going to care about different things. One owner may care about oil pressure and voltage. Another may care about misfire trend, AFM/DFM behavior, or U-codes. A shop may want communication events and repeatability first. Your baseline point is probably the most important one. Raw data is not very useful unless the report can show what normal looked like for that vehicle under similar conditions.   The way I would think about it is: - start with a basic known-good baseline - learn normal behavior for that specific vehicle over time - allow the event to be overlaid against baseline - show whether the event was a one-time spike or a repeatable pattern - provide a simple severity level, but with clear limits on what that severity means   For example, early severity could be something like: - Info: event captured, no obvious abnormal pattern - Watch: value moved outside baseline, but not repeated - Warning: repeatable abnormal pattern under similar conditions - Critical: communication loss, voltage drop, bus-off, reset, or severe repeated event   I would not want the first version to say “replace this part.” That would be overclaiming unless there is repair-confirmed data behind it. It would be more honest to say “this pattern deserves inspection.”   On the OBD port question, I think OBD absolutely has a role. OBD is probably the right place for: - DTCs - freeze frame - VIN - calibration information - normal scan-tool parameters - Mode 6 / enhanced diagnostic data if available The reason I am still looking at an ECM-side recorder is that the failure may happen before anyone connects a scan tool. If the owner plugs in a scanner after the event, the pre-event evidence may already be gone unless the ECU happened to save it. So I do not see this as “OBD versus ECM-side.” I see it more like: - ECM-side recorder: always armed, rolling buffer, event evidence - OBD/DLC companion: DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration, normal scan data - phone/cloud: status, notes, upload, report generation, notifications   I agree that phone connection and push notifications would be useful. I just would not want the phone or cloud connection to be required for capture. The recorder should save the event locally even if the phone is not connected. The phone should help with event marking, download, notes, upload, alerts, and report viewing.   For a default GM V8 event report, would this list make sense? - RPM - calculated load / MAP - throttle position - vehicle speed - gear / torque converter state if available - coolant temperature - oil pressure - oil temperature if available - battery voltage - commanded AFM/DFM state if available - actual AFM/DFM state if available - misfire counters / roughness by cylinder if available - fuel trims - relevant U-codes / communication events - bus-off / lost periodic message / module reset / voltage drop events Which of those would you remove, and what would you add?
