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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
