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

Truck is looking sharp @TxJose!

I live in the area Mission Tx; just curious where did you get your BDS installed? I've been looking into a Zone 6.5 or Mcghauhys 7-9 and would like a reputable shop to do my work.

Thanks buddy!!

 

 

I got mine done in Amarillo since that's where im working right now... As far as a shop in the valley i wouldn't look anywhere else then Truck Toyz. They are across the street from clark chevy on old 83 and 10th i think. They have some very knowledgeable staff and know what they are doing. Call them up and ask around what they recommend.

 

That is where i was going to get mine done when i got time off work to go home but i got impatient and went for it.

Another place to go is Horacio with Big H Customs on Old 83 about 1/2 block west of Ware Road. It's the place with the huge lifted Excursion out front. He's been doing lifts for 20+ years. Might help compare pricing, lift brands etc...

Possibly also a good place to go now.

 

Back when i was in the scene Big H was just starting out and was just a drop shop but maybe now they do lifts as well.

 

It's not hard to talk to people at shops and know if they are full of it or actually know what they are talking about.

7" McGaughy lift 35x12.5x20cf42a51676b3f38b628f3dc86f6db93b.jpgb775ab86f9656b4f555a81189bdb0b36.jpg2a7521cf8bc04085e56e556e720e6290.jpgd58b3af851420d5dbe7898dc11f74f06.jpg

Love your setup man!

How is the McGauhy kit behaving? Read through this whole thread and over the first pages a few negative comments were thrown over this kit. But I have compared and noticed its the only kit that drops the crossmembers a full 7" to maintain great cv angles. Overall people prefer BDS and Zone but If Iam correct the 6 and 6.5" kits only drop the crossmember 4 and 4.5".

Thanks guys will definitely look into these places for quotes. I got the leveling kit done One Stop Shop from the Bert Ogden dealership recommendation; but at work my buddy's all go to TRUCK TOYZ for their lifts. Just gathering info to be ready when the savings add up for lift/tires/install

I really don't know the specifics but I love this kit, and the guy that does my alignments says he's never seen a lifted truck keep alignment like mine. I even bought a lifetime alignment and it has yet to be out. It's really tough as well. I almost hit a deer one night and ran off the road at 50+ mph and hit a ditch and I was sure that it bent something but it didn't. I really have not had one bad thing happen with this lift. The only thing I wish was different was I wish it had a choice for high performance shocks. But I can't find anything for a 7"lift.

FTS has a 7-9" kit and fabtech is more of a 6-8" kit

Curious to know if anyone with a BDS lift or zone lift that also has amp power steps installed what the new height the step is at with lift installed. I run a RC 2" level the steps are ~10" when the step is out. I'd like it higher up or more off the ground.

 

Anyone have comparisons of a zone 4.5" and BDS 4/6" lifts side by side? Some pics look deceiving as far as how high actually truck sits. I'm 50-50 on going with a zone 4.5" or bds 6" i can't decide :(

Finally a good sunny day where I can take some pics of my truck finished lol. BDS 6inch with fox shocks in the rear, running 35x12.5x20 Toyo Open Country MT's on Fuel Maverick Machined face 20x9+1 7be2cc552d15a289c4ca4235e7294a7c.jpg65316758215cabc180f157a7d9ac651a.jpg7be2cc552d15a289c4ca4235e7294a7c.jpg99b4fb7bd971609bca253ca10adb39c5.jpg6cebfe50e5bb309ddc8e394f666521ab.jpg6194975c7ff0187b3135931175d99dc0.jpg

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
