I ordered the Zone 6.5" lift, Fuel Mavericks 20x10 4.5BS -24 offset and 35x12.50x20 Toyo Open Country ATII's. They are charging $750 for the install/alignment and mounting and balancing of new tires. They are also removing the TPMS from my factory wheels. Im pretty stoked!

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

Finally had some time to check the measurements. The answer to your question is yes, it will fit. The truck measures 6'10" = 82" @ the top of the xm antenna. Just be careful cuz it will be tight.

Thanks a bunch!!! I had the 6" lift put on my truck on Monday. It fits "snuggly" in the parking garage. I still pucker every time I drive in. :)

Thanks to everyone on this thread for their info, I went ahead and had the fabtech gen 2 6" lift put on my 2015 Sierra 1500. However, I do have one concern after the lift and I'm surprised this hasn't come up in this forum. The gen 2 kit has a couple of benefits...it doesn't increase the track width which I love and it is supposed to be better on the turning radius. However, it feels to me like there is a significant reduction in turning radius. I called FabTech and they asked me to take some photos which I will do. But, I wanted to see if anyone on here has run into this problem and if anyone has done anything about it with success...such as cut back the "stops" on the knuckles.

I have FabTech 6" lift too, with the same issue. Turns like a tractor-trailer, lots of 3-point turns.

Has anyone tried 35x12.5R20's on a 4" suspension? I have a '15 Sierra and plan to run stock 20's. Any info, input, pics would be appreciated. Thanks

With the 4" BDS you can run stock wheels with 35"s

Would it have to be a BDS lift, or would I get the same result from a 4" Fabtech?

Question to all the guys that did 35s or bigger. How many of you re-geared? Was it worth the extra cost and did it help out acceleration/ lose top end speed by a lot? Did you guys go with the Detroit TrueTrac diff? Also, what gears, wheel and tire setup, and lift did yall go with? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately for me the 6.2L/9.76" doesn't have any gear options available currently. With that being said the power loss has not been bad at all, pretty negligible.

I ordered the Zone 6.5" lift, Fuel Mavericks 20x10 4.5BS -24 offset and 35x12.50x20 Toyo Open Country ATII's. They are charging $750 for the install/alignment and mounting and balancing of new tires. They are also removing the TPMS from my factory wheels. Im pretty stoked!

Congratulations! Can't wait to see the results.

Check out thier websites and see what they say. Every lift manufacturer will tell you what size wheels and tires will work. Only question you may have is either backspacing or if stock wheels will work. If those questions arise call and they'll be able to answe those questions. Then hit up your local shop and forums for advice on the lifts you like.

New to the Forum, but here's my 2014 Sierra All Terrain Z71, 13" total of lift, 10" Suspension and 3" Body on 38x13.5x20 stock rims.

Mods so far: Volant Cold Air Intake, Throttle body spacer, BullyDog programmer, and for exhaust I cut the 3rd cat and factory muffler out and installed a Flowmaster 44 series muffler in the factory location with a 90* turn down right out the back of the muffler.

Still have the stock 3.08 gears but with taxes I'm installing 4.10s F&R.

 

I still tow my 29' toy hauler with 2 RZRs in it.

 

All RC Suspension Lift and Powder Coated Blue.

 

Let me know what y'all think.

 

Thanks Zack

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle for RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging.

      NEW TRUCK

      Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      The Peckish Synapse

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
