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

Here is my submission to this thread. Its my 2016 GMC All/Terrain 4x4 6.5" Zone with AAL, 35.4" Duratracs on stock 20" Denali wheels.

Dang - that looks great! I can't tell for certain - are those 35x12.5 Toyo MT on 18 inch or 20 inch wheels? I'm guessing 18. Either way, looks top notch!

 

Yep 18s and 35x12.50. Thanks!

 

Probably going to try the Method Roost next. Anything bronze with the black fake bead lock ring makes the rims look way smaller.

I imagine that is especially true from a distance, but I really like that look - makes the tires look bigger and off-road capable. I like what you did with the bumper as well, and I'm guessing wheel spacers in the back - looks good man!

Sometimes I like it sometimes I don't haha.

 

No spacers, wheels are 18x9 -12.

Just FYI if anyone buys a zone lift...dont waste your money with the plain zone shocks or "upgraded" nitro shocks. They are garbage, I recently had work done and put in fox shocks and i checked the nitro ones they removed. I was able to compress them with little to no effort and one on the rebound sounded like it was leaking. They have maybe 10k miles of simple street driving no offroad

I went with the new Havoc Offroad 6.5" suspension lift and am pretty happy with it so far. I will probably be upgrading to the Fox 2.0 shortly though.

Nice looking trucks everyone!

Remember, most bracket lift kits reuse the stock front shocks and include some crappy rear twin tubes. Even the upgraded shocks are not worth it in some cases. Fox & King both offer full length replacement coilovers that will replace the front lift spacer/shock combo with a full length, 2.5" diameter coilover. This will greatly improve the ride quality, looks, and offroad performance.

So I'm looking into getting the zone 4.5" or the BDS 4" kit. I want to keep my factory Denali 22" wheels and run 33/12.50 tires. Does anyone have an opinion on which kit would be better and have a pic of their setup?

both kits are great and they are the same company. Zone is the more "generic" kit which utilizes the stock struts/coils whereas BDS has replacement struts or fox coilovers, although you can run fox with the Zone too. (Fox owns BDS and Zone)

 

I have 33s on the Zone 4.5

Hi everyone, New to this Forum recently purchased 2017 LT Z71 in Pull Me Over Red, looking to do Lift kit was just wondering Tire sizes and offset,

 

planning on doing BDS 6-7" lift just for the warranty aspect of it, i'm from Toronto, Ontario and dealers love pulling the " that voids your warranty " card at any chance they get.

 

i like the Fuel Assault rims but am open for options, most likely 20" rim with 35" tire, but like i said im not sure what offset is needed, i dont want the flush look but i dont want the tires sticking out too much

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Atlas · Posted

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By bruceb58 · Posted

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.

      I would never do anything but lithium.   If the vehicle is stored, just turn the disconnect off. My batteries are completely disconnected form everything in the trailer when my disconnect is off. Trailers don't always come that way as some still keep the CO/LPG monitor on. When mine is off...it is off.   As far as storage temps, LiFePO4 are good down to -20°C. I would store them in a heated place if it goes below that. You can also get heating mats with a thermostat if power is available.   The way the heaters work, if it's below 0°C, if a charge comes in, it is directed entirely to the heater until the battery gets above 0°C and then it allows the charge to go to the battery.   For my Android tablet I use as a display, I can move it inside my house if I was ever in an area that got super cold.
