Is anyone running bajakits upper control arms on here?

I'm wondering the same thing. They are local to me and about $100 more than some other companies, but they do look like good quality.

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

Ok I don't think this is supposed to happen. I had to pull off the side of the road to allow an ambulance to pass and I went up on a curb at about 5mph and lost my front right suspension. I love my McGaughy's lift, but their shocks have allot to improve on. 5a038a61caf99848c51035a28358c7c0.jpg92fef5cc595b20fb964ce5319f952fe9.jpg22171c113712b1d6e629a1b536f6c672.jpgc61d8f6909a553334ab96844390a54ca.jpg

So I'm about to do a lift kit on my 2015 1500 Silverado 4x4. I really will only be driving on pavement but will every once in awhile do some mild off-roading. I am looking at the BDS 4" kit with fox 2.5 coilovers with DSC Or I am looking at The Zone 4.5 inch kit with the fox 2.5 coilover with DSC. Someone please tell me what your opinions are! Thanks in advance.

Glad you looked at better options as far as the bds or the zone. I have the zone 4.5 with the fox 2.0 shocks. I was in the same boat as you. Mostly pavement but I have been impressed with the kit so far Im guessing the 2.5 might be a little overkill and costly but its not my money. Not sure on how the ride is different between the two.

I ended up just going with some cognito UCA, maybe later down the road i will try the bajakits.

I had the basic 4.5" lift. I put the fox 2.5 coils with resi's and drove from Cali to Utah and back this past week. truck drove awesome and i no longer had that front end dip that trucks do on rolling sections on the road. the front end stayed firm and level. On my way back i picked up the fox 2.0 rear shocks and bds leaf springs to replace my shitty leafs. i will install them at some point this week

That's sick! How do you like the fox coilovers? I was thinking kings myself just don't care for the blue and the extra money to get them powder coated.

Thanks! So far i am really happy with the coilovers. It's much better than before. I will see how it feels once i put on all the other suspension parts

Just curious if anyone has done this and if its even an option without messing anything up

 

I ran across these Rancho Loaded QuickLift Complete strut assembly RS999901 which are listed as leveling kits up to 2" seems better than just adding the spacers.. But my question is could you combine these with the 4" lift or even the 3.5" lift to get the height without such large spacers in the front?

 

opinions?

Feedback from anyone that has done it that way?

 

Ive been ready to buy my kit, but having to wait a bit longer to finish paying off a few things before i add more.

wildchevys,

 

So your response is yes it would work to get these along with the 4" lift to get a 6" over all height?

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
