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

Clears my 275/65r 20 tires easy. No rubbing. Fender height is now 43 1/4 inches front and 45 3/4 rear. I have an add a leaf in the rear I like rake perfect level looks nose high to me.my stock measurements were 36.0 f and 38.5 rear.

So this is really a 6 inch lift 1 inch us tires.

One of the issues I had was the studs would not fit into holes. You are supposed to press them but I couldn't even get passed the threads.so I drilled them larger then pressed them.

The other issue was the supplied lower rack bolt was supposed to be 140 mm, but it was 160 mm so made a spacer.

The only other issue was tightening the diff. The bolts were impossible to get to.

Doing this on the ground was not fun. I worked 18yrs as a flat rate mechanic and still have all my tools. You have to do a good amount of cutting. The job is not for the faint of heart because you are cutting up your brand new truck.

Looking for some input, if you have a negative comment don't even bother. This is my first vehicle and this is what I could afford, 14 Silverado 2wd v6 with the 3.23 gears. I read pretty much all the threads. I like how lifted trucks look and I'm currently on a level with 33s and the truck performs just fine. I want to do a 6"lift but keep my 33s. I know this gear ratio isn't the best to go with 35s and honestly I don't have money to throw like that. Will adding a 6" lift have a big effect on my truck? Like messing up the gears or does that only get damage when trying to push bigger tires? What are the cons of doing this to this particular truck? Thanks in advance

Overall I am happy with it drove it. Down a bumpy dirt road about 5 miles long. No noises. No stiffer than with my level kit.

 

Looks really good. I like the 1" of rake you have, dont see that too often. I set mine with 1" rake also, doesnt make it look nose heavy and when you tow or haul somehting it goes level.

Technically all the gears care about are wheels and tires, the lift height doesn't necessarily impact them (yes if you jack it way up and increase drag / resistance yada yada yada physics lol) but at the end of the day the wheel and tire added weight is what will kill you. I'm sure 33s are fine now, but I agree with you I wouldn't push 35s on that setup. My opinion would be to go with the 5" rcx kit and keep your 33s, perfect stance IMHO

Just read the thread where owners of lifted trucks and bigger tires were having issues with stabilitrac. I noticed (could've missed something though) that owners with rough country, BDS, and custom lifts had these issues and that the alignment / possibly the stabilitrac sensor wires were pinched/stretched were the most likely causes. One owner contacted Rocky Ridge and RR felt it was stretched sensor wires causing the problems. Others seem to have corrected the issue by having their truck aligned properly.

 

I posed the question in that thread and I'll pose it here also because many different types of lift makes are represented here; are Pro Comp 6" lift owners having an issue with stabilitrac?

I have a 2014 lifted with Rough Country 7" and 49K miles and no stabilitrac issues at all

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
