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?

Any body running the Fabtech 6" Basic System w/ Rear Performance Shocks - 2014-16 GM K1500 4WD? This is the front lift needing opinions on this kit? Brand new it runs $1995. Found the kit off a buddy's friend for $500. He upgrade to 9" lift.

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.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By newdude · Posted

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
