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

How difficult was this kit to instal? I have 34" tires on my truck with a level kit. I would like a better proportioned height to wheel size. This looks perfect

I had 4 wheel parts install due to my dealer saying if I had a reputable shop install and if I kept it to 4 inches then warranty would be good.

Ok thank you. 4" just seems to be the right height

Here you go, let me know if you want anything else.

How much did it widen the front track width?

Those are the stock 17's that also come with the 2016 Silverado LT? They look good, did you need to use wheel spacers to reuse your stock 17's with that lift ?

Rancho 4.5 clearing 285/75r17 34 inch tire.

 

Clean truck. How is the ride quality? Where did you get it and how much it cost you?

Ride is very good. Running stock Z71 Rancho struts up front and Rancho 9000 on the back.

I see so much hate on Ranchos here. Is there a particular reason? I've always liked their products.

 

To be honest, the truck that I rode in that had Bilsteins just felt mushy. I'd rather have a stiff suspension than something that makes the truck roll around everywhere. I know it all comes down to personal preference, but I've never really understood the "Rancho = crap ride" statement.

It's because Rancho products are cheap and the quality reflects it.

Well I dunno about you but my truck is a z71 and it came with rancho shocks and they suck. So yes the ride is crap and I can't understand for the life of me why anyone would buy anything rancho for their truck after driving a stock z71

Funny, people that don't race cars assume that Brembo brakes are the shit. Then people with cars that come with oem brembo brakes think they are adequate/great. Then people who race cars know that oem brembo brakes are usually junk.

 

Point being that anything that is oem isn't going to be a premium product. Even though they have better products to sell. So rancho shocks "suck" but the only people that complain out of the hundreds of thousands of trucks sold with them are a handful on enthusiast websites...

 

Statically i would say that you're in the minority by saying they suck even if they could be better.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
