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

Could you tell a difference after adding the body lift as far as noticeable height or was it not really noticeable. Im deciding to do the same or not. Thanks

Main reason for the body lift was a slight rub on the rear of the fender wells in front whenever I'd back out of a parking spot or driveway. It was just enough to drive me nutz. No more rub now. Although I do still on occasion trip on my powersteps when climbing in. Other than those 2 things you won't really notice a 1.5" BL. And it looks good still. The 3" I saw on a truck at my shop was obvious and didn't look so good to me. Big gaps/spaces everywhere.

Hi all,

Not sure if this post should be here or in another. I a new. I just purchased a 2014 Sierra 1500 SLT. I would like to get an additional 2-3 in clearance without breaking the bank. What is the best way to do this?
is it a suspension lift kit?

a leveling kit?

Just bigger tires?

Like I say, totally new and not sure what I need.

It has 18" rims on it right now with stock tires.

Any and all tips/help would be greatly appreciated.

2-3" of clearance you're looking for a leveling kit, not full on suspension kit (those will be 4-7"+).

 

$150 for 2.5 Rough Country spacer kit. Raises the front 2.5" and the rear 1". You can easily fit a 275/70/18 on your stock wheels with this kit as well.

http://www.roughcountry.com/gm-leveling-lift-kit-1305-10.html

 

You will need to check and see if you have aluminum or steel upper control arms. Take a magnet to it and if it sticks, it's steel. Others have posted pictures of that theirs looks like.

 

New coilovers/rear shocks/UCAs - you're looking at $ 2500+

Hey I have the zone 4.5" lift with the spacer bracket on the front suspension. Has anyone with a similar setup just bought oem replacement coilovers? Or have you done a full coilover that replaces the oem spring and the lift spacer all together? I want to get king coilovers but can only find oem or 2-3" lift coils. I know fox has a complete replacement coilover.

if you get king OEM you need to keep the spacer. Or you could get the full replacement fox as mentioned

Yeah I just cant decide which to do. price difference is about 500 with the fox being more. Price doesn't matter but I was just wondering if there is any plus or cons with running the full fox or the king and keeping the spacer

yeah thats true. I guess at this point I am just debating whether there use the oem type coils with the top front spacer or just replace the full shock and spacer. I am assuming a full replacement of the shock and spacer would be idea. that and with my 35's all i will see is the top spacer lol

 

decisions decisions lol

      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.
