All you have to do then is level the front or get a smaller rear block. The 4.5" kit has about 1/4" rake and the 6.5 has about 3/4" lean

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

If you go Zone and want the Cali lean, I would just order the 6.5" and tell them to ship it with the 4" tapered rear block. The 6.5" kit uses a 5" non tapered block.

they only have a 4" block. It goes 3-4-5. The 6.5 uses a 5" and the 4.5 uses a 4". On my '13 with the 6.5" kit I installed skyjacker 4.5" blocks. I believe skyjacker, RCX, and cognito are the only companies to make 4.5" blocks. Now on my 17 I ordered my 4.5" kit with their 3" blocks instead of the 4"

Anyone running a 6 inch with 12 sides and 33s? I'm worried that 33s would look to small

Well here it is. Stock wheels 4" BDS and 35/12.5/20s KO2s. Couldn't be much happier with what I ended up with thanks to this site. Thx again guys.

I love this setup. I'm interested in the BDS 4 inch lift but it concerns me how far the tires protrude up front. All I can think about is all the damage along the sides I'm going to get from throwing up road debris along the side of my truck. I'm also worried a 33 inch tire won't look big enough since I don't want to go all the way to 35's. Would like to stick with P rated to keep the weight down.

Thx guys pretty happy with it. I'm with you tens kinda concerned about that also we will see. Worse case scenario I'll get some flares, I kinda thought being they were on stocks they wouldn't be that bad. Little further then I'd like but it's kinda growing on me. As for the "E" rated tire ride to be honest don't really notice much if any of a differance in the ride, pretty smooth and quiet. If I do go with flares I will match the back with the front.

+1 on liking the look!!! Also just to ease your mind, Mine stick out the same distance and have for over a year with lots of playing in the mud and zero damage to fenders.

^ i did the level shocks from bilstein, but they claim it retains all factory features, but you are still compressing the spring....

 

Yes and no. Hopefully this image explains the difference between a 5100 style shock and a spacer lift.

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.
