That's a sweet ride, I'm actually doing the Zone 6.5" lift with a 20x10 -19 with 325/60/20 latter in this week. Do you have any rubbing with that setup?

 

Quite a bit originally due to the extra width and height on the tire over a normal 35X12.50 Nitto. Front at about 30% turn was hitting the metal corner on the front bumper and at full lock it was rubbing the rear firewall inner fender (black plastic insert). I solved the front and gained plenty of room by spacing the front bumper out (1/2") a hair and raising it up 1/4" as well. Now I just need to address the slight rub at full lock on rear. The Zone knuckles might not stick out as far as the RC knuckles which would eliminate the issue. That wheel offset you have is 5mm less than mine which will help as well. I have a good 4" to the swaybar at full lock so I could have stuffed them inside the wheel well more if I had the option on the wheels. The company I work for is a RC vendor as well as for several wheel manufacturers so I was being cheap and only went with what I got dealer cost on.

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

Nice truck. Anymore pics? I have a Brownstone and haven't seen too many lifted. I'm hoping to lift mine in a few months.

Nice truck. May want to consider blacking out the chrome trim pieces and handles to match the wheels.

Truck looks great! I'm running a similar setup with the BDS 6" and 35s. My truck has got a bit of a lean to it. Did you go blocks or leafs in back? I went with the blocks and did not add a leaf which would likely level it.

 

Thanks.

Thanks. I need to do this. I don't mind a bit of rake but it's pretty extreme when towing.

Have any of you guys with zone lift or similar done any other suspension mods to your trucks like after market shocks for the front and rear? I'd like some options for rear shocks. what's available for us zone 6.5 folks? What about aftermarket control arms? Or sway bars ? Any issues with fitment with zone lift?

Also interested in hearing about people's setups. I went 6" BDS without the fox coilovers and now wanting front and rear shocks replaced with kings, fox or ???, so I can be more aggressive off road. Something that works with these lifts zone/BDS, etc.

I am running BDS 6" with FOX DSC Coilovers and Cognito UCA's. I am also running a FOX DSC rear shock as well. The ride is great. Probably as close to factory as I can get while having a lift.

Finally, a truck with some bling instead of hideous black rims and boring color matching!! Well done.

 

I'm hearing good things about the Nitto RG.

 

You running rear spacers on that knuckle lift?

Yeah 1/4 inch on the front and 2.5 on the back to even it out

Gotta ask...what do your angles look like? I've been focused on 3-4" lifts, but have been curious of this one as well.

There just as even as it was stock it's perfect angles in my opinion it couldn't be any better

      Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.
