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.

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

Roger that. Do you have any pictures of your new setup?

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

either are solid choices. You can't go wrong either way

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.

with a "true" 4" yes, the RCX 3.5" crap, no

wildchevys,

 

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

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
