It might,

 

I saw a sierra a few days a go with a procomp lift on the stock AT wheels running 37s....probably rubs like a mofo ...I didnt ask the guy but man it looked sick. Didn't have my phone on me to take a picture.

 

Thanks for the reply, I figured that question flew into outer space and therefore would never be answered. Yeah I think I'm going to end up have to do some serious measuring to decide it they would fit.

Who if anyone is running 22x14s on 37 inch tires on a 2014 Silverado. What size lift. I have a 7.5 and a 1.5 body lift before I mount my tires I wanna make sure it will fit

Gentlemen,

 

I'm in the market for a lift on my 2015 Silverado 1500 4x4 and wanted to see if anyone has used the 4.5" Zone suspension lift with 33's yet? I tried looking thru the entire thread but 149 pages is pretty extensive. My last truck was a 2011 Silverado with a 3.5" X 1.75" suspension lift on 33's. I had the 20" x 9" KMC XD Cranks with zero offset running 305/55/R20 Trail Grapplers and ran into some rubbing issues turned in reverse. That being said, I was hoping the 4.5" would help with that. I haven't decided on the wheel just yet, but i do know I want to continue with the same tire as before. Any suggestions on offsets that would fit for possibly a 20" X 10" at most.

 

Lift I am considering;

Also, the lift on this page states "All wheel drive models require drive line modification"???????

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

I am running the zone 4.5" lift. I am running 295/70/18s (34.5" tall) with no rubbing issues at all. my wheels are 18x9 0+ offset. so i think you should be fine running the 33's. and i don't think they did anything to my driveline when they installed...but i'm not 100%.

 

here's a pic....

Thanks for the reply and picture. Great looking truck man... Do you have any side pictures by chance to show how far the tires stick out? I spoke with Zone directly yesterday and they stated that the driveline modification is referring to those that run AWD at high rates of speeds (60+) due to the possible vibration from the driveshaft. They suggested a double cardan/dual cardan joint to help relieve this vibration. Those that only use 4WD when needed a slower speeds will not see a large difference. The only time I expect to run at high rates is when it snows down here and I'm running on the highway. If I notice a difference then I'll do some more investigating on the double cardan joint.

Yeah, I live in GA.....so no high speed 4-wheeling in the snow for me, so i apologize but i can't give you insight on that part.

 

i'd say the tires stick from the fenders about 2"- 2.5". I used a 1.5" wheel spacer on each rear wheel so they match the track at the front. here are the pics along the side.

That looks great man. Thanks for the info and pics.

I am very confused as what lift I should get installed. I am only looking for a max of 5 inches of lift. I want to run stock wheels right now so my options are zone 4.5, rc 5 bracket, and rc knuckle. What are the advantages or disadvantages of a bracket vs. knuckle type lift? I realize the track will increase but is that the only good or bad thing. What lift would you recommend here? Thanks for any help.

Knuckle lift is easier to install and usually cheaper if you are comparing the same brand. Your wheel will stick out beyond the fender and you will have to run rear spacers in the rear if you want it to match.

The bracket lift will keep all of your stock angle and stock track.

Basically the way I look at it is my truck looks like it is 2500 HD that is maybe an inch taller. It looks like something the factory could build and is not overstated. I could not get away with a lot of the set up a that people run on here in Massachusetts

Technically I am illegal now. But looking stock brings no attention.

Thanks for the explanation and makes allot of sense. It just seems but only a couple companies make the bracket lift so I wasn't sure what why that is. I do prefer to keep the track as close to stock and maybe go with 295/60 tires. Do you think they will fit without spacers with your lift.

15green, going from a stock tire( assuming you had a 31 inch to start) to a 34 inch.. Is there a noticeable difference in power loss? Meaning effectively running a 3.12 now vs 3.42? with stock tires

    • 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?
