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.

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

Looking for suggestions on rubber. Currently happy with the nitto Terra grapplers, looking for something a little more aggressive looking, but not wanting full on mud terrains rumbling down the highway at 80.

Someone suggested toyo rt's, any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Have you considered the BFG KO2's??

I had no issues with the rancho shocks on my 16' denaliHd. No ride issues here either. And they were sadly removed when the 12" lift went on. Lol

I've had the RTs on my truck since May and have ran them in dirt, rocks, mud and sand. Love them. Great on road too. Looking forward to running them in the snow soon to see how they are there.

My 2012 GT500 had the SVTPP which included Brembo brakes. They were great for your basic street driving and the occasional hard breaking. So for me I loved them but I didn't like the brake fad from the rubber brake lines. But any of the serious track and drag strip guys went to braided lines and calipers with more pistons. It's a shame sports cars don't come with Baer brakes or Wilwood stock. Brembo's are nice but I want 6 piston fronts and 4 piston reads.

I haven't had the time or opportunity to get mine off road much, but really looking forward to it. So far I'm very pleased.

Funny I would say the same thing about your post.

Ok well for one that makes zero sense, for two I wasn't calling him ignorant I was referencing the fact that he said the majority of ppl probably don't complain about rancho shocks on their trucks. He's probably right, because most ppl either aren't big enthusiasts like he said or don't know any better... hence my what I said. Good try at being cute tho.

I have 4" of lift and 33" tires. I'm running a -12 offset with Bushwacker fender flares

No rubbing issues at all. Less offset and you could fit a larger tire but with the -12 and flares it looks good. Only thing I wish I would have done different was get m/t instead of a/t

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
