But they aren't cause the Zone uses the original strut and adds a spacer while the BDS replaces it with a brand new strut to compensate for the lift. Correct me anyone if I am wrong.

Zone uses the same replacement strut as BDS on the gmt900 and will be using it again on the k2xx kit according to my connect at Zone. You can't lose with either kit though

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

The kit that I always see with Zone just adds a simple spacer.

correct, but they WILL be offering a full strut soon just like they do for the gmt900s. I have a gmt900 and have the Zone 6.5 with the full strut

Gmt900? And how much did it run you?

GMT900s are 07-13s and with the front skid plate and nitro rear shocks I paid $1200 and again that was WITH full struts

 

I've owned 3 BDS kits, 2 Superlift kits, and 1 Zone. I've installed both superlifts and the zone with friends

Super clean Abearclaw. Im sold, the 4" lifts look way better with AT tires which I have to run, 6" better with MT imo. One last thing, any pics of the back to front looking down the side for track width difference. Thanks again

Yeah no prob here's a few pix

Thank you I appreciate it. I'm super happy with the 4" although every now and again I think about adjusting it to 6" and after a solid minute say,"nah" lol. And I agree with you on the tires. I had toyo at2 extremes when I had my level but wanted something a bit more aggressive for the lift and stepped up to the rt's. I do have a pic of the side and I can always snap more

Even tho the fronts stick out about an inch it doesn't bother me and I don't notice it anymore. Of course more aggressive offsets will exaggerate things a bit.

How are those headlights? Do they make a huge difference at night? Was it an easy install?

Looks like you got the lift I am looking at how does it ride any complaints?

To be honest I think it rides better than stock, only thing is your blind spots tend to get larger but that's expected.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
