Zone is much better. If you don’t have stamped steel control arms you won’t need any spacer. Also make sure the spacer is lug/hub centric

So you think the cast steel should be ok without spacers and the stock 20s?

After doing some research I noticed that Zone lifts push the front wheels out a bit, regardless of offset/backspacing. Anyone have input on whether or not BDS does the same? I am really anal about stuff like that and don't want to have to add spacers to my rear wheels to make them even.  

 

Any help would be awesome!

BDS does also, in fact most all knuckle lifts do. BDS/Zone pushes the front wheels out 1.5” per side

So no matter what I'll be getting spacers if I want it even?

Pretty much. I believe CST is one of the only kits that doesn’t increase track width

Rough country sells “bracket and knuckle lifts”. A bracket lift is more money but doesn’t widen your front end.

The whole “lifetime warranty” on BDS and Zone is kinda nice..... lol

 

 

edit: Aaaaaaand rough country has that too! High five!

Does anybody have pics of 2014 or 15 Silverado with a 4.5 in zone lift and 295/60/r20 and if so info on mpg

That I agree with.  I'm not planning on beating the ever-loving piss out of mine.  However, I don't want a crap lift.  That said, I haven't seen anyone that has RCX complain about it, and they also have a lifetime warranty.  I have it narrowed to BDS/Zone or RCX. Now I just need to decide if I want to go with a bracket lift or a knuckle lift.  I just started doing my research on the bracket and have read both good and bad things about them.  I've also read good and bad things about knuckle lifts, as well.

Knuckle lifts hold up longer in the long run. Just run Bora 1.75 or 1.5 spacers in the rear and you'll be good

So bracket lifts don’t last as long? And I’d need a new driveshaft with a bracket lift, right?

Why do you have to run spacers? I don’t have them on mine? Honestly, I thought it would bug the crap out of me. It isn’t as bad as you think it’ll bed. Doubt anyone would ever say anything about it.

It looks like it’s dog tracking without them

    • This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715
    • Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄
    • Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished
    • As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.
    • That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
