BDS told me that the front track width would increase by 1.58", so I added a 1.5" adapter to the rear. I really didn't think it was necessary but I wanted everything to look the same.

 

Did you put the lift on with the 275/65s first? or did you put the 35s on at the same time. Curious how the 275/65s would look with this lift?

Here u go. This is all I have for now. I can take more tomorrow, if needed.

My plan was to keep the 275/65s until I needed new tires but they looked a bit narrow so i bought 35s the following day. My truck looked like it skipped leg day! Lol

I really like this. Good Job!

 

Hope do you rate the ride compared to the 2.5 level? I am really disappointed in my AT with 275.65 and 2.5 level. I don't know if I need to change these rancho shocks out or what but it is a really harsh ride in the front end. I feel everything on the road.

Hello, I am new to this forum. I wanted to post to this topic to add an experience I am currently going through. I purchased the Rough Country 3.5" lift for my 15 CC z71, and when I'm in 4 wheel drive I have a loud growling and vibration felt through the floor board. I had it done by a lift shop in Virginia Beach that seems to be pretty decent. I have seen that some members are running that kit without problems and I am not sure what my issue is, So I will be taking that kit off and I am having an RCD 4-6" adjustable lift installed. From what I understand they actually brought in the guy who designed the STABILITRAC system for these trucks, and it has bilsteins all around. I was assured that this lift will resolve my issues. "Fingers crossed" Its costing me more in the end and I did go to a different shop that does these trucks for the dealer next door, but I would rather not have these types of issues with the drive train. To all of you running this kit I'm glad you didn't have this issue, I just thought I would add this to the conversation.

Tx-at what did your fender Heights come out at.

I haven't found even ground to provide accurate measurements but this is what I got in my driveway. Numbers are with the BDS 6" kit & 35.12 Toyo MT tires.

 

FD - 44 1/2", FP - 44 1/2"

RD - 44 1/4", RP - 44"

 

I was told to give the front struts a while before they settle down. I hope it stays as is that way I can just lift the rear a bit to give it some rake.

Hello just got a member ship to a workshop and they have metal cnc machines and many other machines that can make truck parts. Does anyone know what material or what metal lift kits are made of

How many of you are running a 6" lift with 35's and have 3.08 gears?

How's the power with that set up?

 

I'm planing a 6" BDS with Fox upgrades and new leaf packs. Really want to run 35's but don't want my 5.3L/3.08 gearing to be a dog either. Wondering if I will need to stick with 33's.

 

I also put quite a few miles on per year. About 16k due to kids playing travel sports.

I wish that's all I put on my truck in a year! Exactly a year after I bought the truck I was at 31,200. Hopefully this is a slower year, but was crazy busy last year.

Really looking into getting the RC 7" lift kit, however im having a hard time finding pictures online of this exact kit installed next to something i can use as a size reference. I dont want it to be too tall, but i dont want it to look like its not lifted either. Ive been considering the 5" RC, and i really like the way the 6.5 BDS lift looks. Some of the pictures ive seen online of the 4 and 5" lifts barely look lifted (havent had a chance to see any of these kits in person yet)

 

 

I guess what im getting at is i want it lifted a decent amount, but i dont want it to be so tall i dont enjoy it.....

 

Anyone have any advice/pics that can help me decide?

This should give you a good idea of the 7" Rough Country.

I have the 3.42 gears but I was just wondering the answer to this question myself. Hopefully someone will chime in.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
