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

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
