My 15 rcx 6 inch with upgraded shocks, rides great and not bad of a install

Pic was with 275/65/20 duratracs, now has 35s

Id like to see a pic of your truck with the 325 Duratracs. I got a set of the 325/60/20 Duratracs (35.6") ready to go on as soon as my BDS kit shows up.

I currently have a 2.5 in level on my 14 GMC 1500 4x4 and I have been researching mcgaughy 4 inch kit but for about $ 200 more you can get the 7-9" lift. Is it pretty much a decision at that point since its not much difference in price?

Sorry should have been more clear, 35s on it now aren't duratracs. I'm sure they will look great though

If i buy some lift spindles for my 2014 silverado 2wd by itself with included brake lines, would i need anything else like new uca's etc or i could just install the spindles & its lifted? Looking to get 3" or 4.5" lift spindles. Seems like its more to it then just adding spindles & the longer brake lines but i may be wrong.

My understanding with 2wd trucks is that it's that easy. You could purchase new UCA's and that will increase your wheel travel. Coilovers will also improve ride quality allow for more height adjustment. Not sure what your budget is but CST has a 2wd spindle kit and a new mid travel kit coming out in the next two weeks too.

They have two kits right now. One with rear blocks one without. Heres a link to the kit with blocks.

I had CST's 4" lift on my 2012 AWD Denali and it was great. I'm excited to see the release of the mid travel for the 2wd drive. I called hoping it was for the 4wd but was told they are in the intial stages development. So 4wd wont be out for a long time.

Not sure if its been asked, but

 

What is everyone doing as far as alignments after lift and tires? How off is the alignment after a BDS or Zone lift?

What alignment specs are best? 0 tow, 0 caster , and Camber?

 

I have a Zone 6.5 lift on its way and have a set of 36" Duratracs ready to go on.

is a drop cross member required for some 4.5" lift spindles on a 2014 silverado 2wd.. i saw a pair online for 2 spindles alone with longer brake lines, new to the lift game so im not sure if theres any other parts i need to go with the spindles & longer brake lines. any suggestions guys? i talked to rough country & they said id need a drop cross member to go with it? i wouldnt think so but i could be wrong.. Once again this is for a 2WD

I believe Zone has the specs on the website for the alignment. I will tell you that with those 36" Duratracs you will need to do some extensive trimming! I have 35's and had to do a lot in the front and back. I still get a little rub in reverse at just under full lock. I'm glad I went with the 6.5"... 7-9" might have been better to avoid any rubbing. Also make sure you throw the zone add a leaf in yours, especially since it's a crew cab. I'm glad we did. It doesn't cost much.

I ran 35s on my 7" lifted Tacoma before this truck. I had to trim alot.. So no problem there. I already ordered the Zone kit and did get the AAL because I like to be level or have the tail higher look. Zone doesn't have any alignment specs from what I could find... I know on Tacoma forum there was a thread specific for lifted trucks so we could compare alignments. I turned out to be helpful to me. This is why I ask.

It is on page 27 when looking at the install instruction on their website.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • 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?
