if you don't want something too crazy and different than all the other kits go for a 4" lift kit from bds or zone lift kit

The price is the same for the 4" and 6.5 zone kits.. so besides the height difference, why go with the 4"?

Is there a good reason to go with the 4" over the 6.5"

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

I tried the code but it said expired but i can't complain about the price. Now i just have to wait for a good deal on tires. Btw do you have any new updated pics of your ride

Just preference i suppose. I was going to do the 6.5 lift at first but i didn't want to be like every single silverado out on the road. So i went with the 4.5" lift. Plus i wanted to run 35s on the smaller lift cause i like the look of more meatier tires and less gap around the fenders.

 

But to each their own right

Hahaha! Nice!!

personal preference. I used to have a lifted duramax which was pretty high as well as a bunch or other 6" or higher lifted trucks. I still want a lifted truck, but not as high anymore, so at least for me the 4.5" kit is perfect

I went with the 4 inch BDS for somewhat similar reasons. I wanted to add a little bit of off road capability, while at the same time, keeping the truck somewhat "professional" looking to the average person. I often meet clients at their homes, so I couldn't have a truck that was too neck - though I'll admit, if I wasn't using this truck as my daily driver, I would have gone with a bigger lift.

Good choice. Its lifted but not over done and you can still use it for normal work stuff.

Any contraindications for towing a travel trailer and one of these 4-6" lifts? I was thinking 1100 lb tongue weight and 7500 lbs is a lot of strain and drop shank.

So let me get this straight. I have noticed that some of you have got the 4.5 zone lift and the fronts have raised more than 4.5 inches. Some almost as high as 6 to level out with the rears. This worries me as I only have 7 inches from the top of the onstar to the bottom of garage door. Once I do this lift and add 35s, I'm afraid it's not fitting in garage. Am I understanding this correctly?

I did the 6" BDS on 35s and I think my truck increased 8" overall when measured to the XM antenna. It measures 82" now and fits under 7ft garages with 2 inches to spare. As a word of caution, not all 7' garages are actually 7' tall in all places. Drive cautiously through parking structures.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
