What's going on fellas?

 

This is my first post and I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to this sort of stuff so I was hoping someone could help me out.

 

I have a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 SLT and is completely stock as of right now.

 

I'm wanting to run a 4" lift on the stock 18's but I'm not very knowledgable about what lift/ tire size to run; etc.

 

Thank you in advance. Any help would be appreciated.

Seems like the popular choice of lift on this site would be the zone offroad 4.5" lift. Tire sizes you could run 305/65r18 (33.6), 295/70r18 (34) or just go 35s but it'll be a little tight.

So, I got the Zone 6.5 installed yesterday! It looks awesome but we did need to trim the outside bottom piece of the chrome bumper and the plastic piece under the bumper. I put 35x12.50x20 Toyo Open Country AT2's on Fuel Maverick 20x10 4.5BS and -24 offset. We also had to trim the back of the inner fender which wan't a big deal and you don't see it but I wasn't expecting the front bumper.

With tapatalk I might not be able to see but did you post specs? If not can you? They look good

My shop told me 35 12.50 20size was fine on my 16 Chevy, I just wanted a bit narrower tire so I went with 295 65r 20. 4 1/2 inch zone lift

 

Seatimber, Any issues since getting this done on tire rubbing? I have a 14 HC and would like to keep the same rims and that zone lift looks awesome.

Beautiful..... Makes me want to go 6"!!!

 

Hows the ride vs stock suspension?

No sir. Nothing. No rub at all man. 295 65 20 Toyo m/t's . It's perfect.

You need to post mire pictures :D

Thanks!

 

I love the 6.5" lift, I've been in several lifted trucks and this handles the best by far! It's very close to stock in my opinion! I also added the Zone "add a leaf" since we are getting our cap installed on Friday. I wanted to be safe for the extra weight. There is a little more road noise then before because of the tires but that's all.

    • 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?
