Thanks for the info. I'll have to check them out.

i think you'll be fine with 295/55, maybe slight rubbing. And Nitto and Toyo are the same company

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

Thanks! Are you familiar with Rouch Country's 3.25" kit that combines the 2" level and 1.25" Body kit? I'm consider it as they claim you can run 33's on it... Might be an option. I know you said the 3.5" is junk and I'm not sure I want the 4.75" lift. Just consider options.

Does anyone on here have any experience with the Rancho quicklift loaded struts?

I ran them for about 4,000 miles. They weren't bad but I couldn't figure out what number setting I liked the best. They did level the truck perfectly. If your in Southern California I'll give them to you.

Thanks, I am in Missouri right now. I cant decide if should do the Ranchos with 275/65/18 BFG's or bite the bullet and go with Fox. Any offroading I do is mild (hunting, fishing, etc.).

I would spend the extra $ and get the fox. Much better quality and ride.

I just had the Fox shocks put on with my Zone lift and my ride quality is just as good as it was when leveled. Never used any others, so can't comment on them.

I need some recommendations........ I purchased the CST 4.5" lift kit. I have cognito upper control arms, fox 2.5 coilovers and fox 2.0 rear shocks waiting to be put on. I am hesitant to do the install due to warranty problems. Guys with newer truck that are doing this, what is your opinion on moding the truck before warranty is up? Do I have anything to be worried about? If anyone has any input for me I would greatly appreciate it....!

Dealerships try to find something other than them to blame. That being said putting suspension components only void that part of the warranty. There was a case a while back that dealerships were blaming and denying the customer of warranty work by seeing items that had nothing to do with the items installed. The ruling was that if the dealership can prove your aftermarket equipment caused the failure they don't have to cover this up. Sometimes you have to remind the dealership this case happened and the ruling can have them sued real quick. Many stop trying to blame a component that doesn't have anything to do with your problem. Some are stubborn and you gotta go legal. Anyways. You shouldn't have to feel raped by trying to make your truck better and all those components other than cst as I really don't know what that is are way better than stock. Just a dealer being a dealer. Also many kits have factory warranty warranties such as bds, zone and pro Comp that if the dealership doesn't honor they will, and fix it. Just my own 2 cents

if you have a fair and legitimate dealer you should have nothing to worry about. I've had a lot of lifted trucks lifted within weeks of purchase that have gone back for service with no issues

I have too. But it's nieve to not recognize that can happen. And I've had people look at my truck and tell me a clunk in the rear of my truck could have something to do with the level kit I had put on. So then trying automatically charge me on that fact for diagnostic. I think it comes down to the dealership, and the service writer which works on commission.

 

I wouldn't sweet putting any of that on though.

This. Also do some reading. Magnuson moss act. some of these dealerships need to get a life. They can't void your entire warranty due to some suspension components

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
