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

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
