4.5" BDS

295x55/12.5 Nitto Grappler

KMC XD "Buck" wheels

20x12 

-44 offset

 

There was just enough contact to tie the liners back.

Oohhhh it's the 20x12 with the -44 that messes with it.  I just started doing a bit more research and found that an 18x9 with a 0 offset will fit 35s with no trimming.

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

Yup

 

The BDS lift doesn't allow for stockers so ....... you go with anything else and it's a given for the trim.

Yeah.  I figure if I stick with a 0 offset, or a 18x10 with -24 offset, I should be good.  I'm taking about an inch and a half off the lower valence soon (maybe Saturday).

I’m 99% sure you can run stocks with the bds kit. They are essentially the same

BDS lift is the ONLY lift I found would not allow for the stockers to work ..........  trust me, I didn't do this blindly.  Not that the wheels really matter but, I had wanted to stay with my OEM All Terrain shoes.   BDS rep stated such as well as a couple of the shops in the area.  I believe they all referred to the control arm not allowing.

Hi everyone,

 

I recently purchased a ‘18 1500 double cab LS. My intentions were to make it a daily driver and tow rig for my crawler, but of course things change! I originally purchased a 2” level kit just to make the truck look right, but I decided to return it for something with a little more oomph. I am now in the market for a 3-5” lift, however the variations of lifts is mind blowing. Could anyone provide a link or description to help explain the differences between them? I’ve seen knuckle lifts which appear to be promising due to the fact that they offer greater strength to the overall design of the suspension geometry. However, I’ve read that thy require new control arms? Any other cons to them? Then there are bracket drop kits which retain stock geometry but create weaknesses within the overall unit due to stressing the ball joints and knuckles. Any pros or cons to these kits? They are definitely the most expensive and intrusive  kits on the market.

 

I have a set of 17x9 Method Standards on the way in -12/4.5” backspacing, I am looking to run 33x12.5s if possible. In the future, I would like to run Fox coil overs in the front with Fox shocks in the rear. Not necessary though.

 

Thanks for any and all input!

Can anyone guess the setup on this truck? I saw it on google or something. I’m guessing just a leveling kit and 265/70/18. Or are they 275/70/18? Opinions?

 

thanks

What uca’s? Some of those 4” kits I posted earlier that come with new uca’s still require new wheels cause they will still rub on factory wheels with bigger tires

      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

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      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

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      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.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      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.
