how much rake does your truck have, do you have the fender measurements, im about to do the zone 4.5 and hope mine looks like yours when done.

I don't know the exact measurements and haven't got around to measuring yet but it approximately an inch higher in the rear. I'll see if I can get around to measuring it soon

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

Here is my submission to this thread. Its my 2016 GMC All/Terrain 4x4 6.5" Zone with AAL, 35.4" Duratracs on stock 20" Denali wheels.

Zone 4.5" 305/55s on 20x10s

I swapped the 4" block for a 3" and I'm at 42.75 Front and 42 Rear

i ordered the 3 inch block today mine has right at 2 inches of rake after installing the lift so the 3 inch block should bring that down to just under 1 inch

something is wrong if you have 2" of rake with the Zone 4.5.

the truck had alot of rake from the factory, pre-lift measurements were from shop floor to fender 36" in the front and 39 5/8" in the rear. So you add 4.5" to the front equals 40 1/2". Take the 1 1/4 block out of rear to come down to 38 3/8" and add the 4" block to bring the rear up to 42 3/8". That's a 1 7/8" difference.

the front is lifted more than just 4.5" generally.

Just got a quote for a zone 6.5 installed and 35x12.5x20 BFG KO2 for $2900. I priced the zone at 899 plus best price on BFGs with tax is 1354 for a total. Is 650 labor a good deal or should I shop around?

 

 

Also the fox shocks are only 126 more on the zone website. Are they worth the upgrade in terms of less stiffness in the ride or are the standard hydro shocks sufficient?

The fox rear shocks are stiff. I have no clue about the hydro shocks but I have the fox 2.0 rears and am going to be getting the fox 2.5's piggy back factory shocks to match the front coilovers. I'd probably save the money

Will those work with our 4-6" lifts? I saw them on Fox's website but they show them to work with a 0-1.5" lift

I'm in the process of trying to find a definite answer. Also looking to see if fox does by chance make them a little longer to fit with our 4-6" lifts or worst case scenario somebody (I think it's ready lift) makes shock extension pieces that allows factory rear shocks to be used with lifts so that'll make them useable

I installed a Zone 4.5 on my '16 2wd this past week. I ordered the kit with the hydro shocks and they are bit stiffer than the factory setup but are not rough by any means. However, I plan on switching them out at some point with a set of adjustable Rancho RS9000's. I've had great luck with the 9000's on other GM trucks and my Jeep JK. I usually run them on full soft for daily driving and stiffen them up when towing.

 

I ran Fox 2.0's on my Jeep for about a week and switched them out. They were way too stiff on the street for my taste.

 

BTW, the Zone kit is great. I installed it in my garage with zero issues.

 

I'll get better pics but this is a quick one I took after the install:

Well, I got an answer from Fox. I asked if their 2.5 reservoir shocks would fit a 4-6" lifted truck.

Anyone got any deals on a zone 6.5 for a 2wd? About to pull the trigger on some Pro Comps 35x12.5x20s at 4wheel parts. I have the standard 5 spoke polished aluminum 20" wheels, will the pro comps fit that wheel (same wheel as the white truck in 2 posts above)?

 

Sorry stupid computer.... or operator

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
